A common bit of advice flying around the online business world is that you need to run a community. But do you? And how do you do it? This week I've got Community Expert Suzanne Buckley on the podcast to chat about communities, the role they play in our lives and what you should consider if you want to start your own.

This week, I have a guest on the podcast - Berenice Smith. Berenice has been a member of the Freelance Lifestylers FB group for a while, and she's been a support to so many in the group - but especially those who are childless not through choice.

In this episode, we talk about Berenice's freelance journey, the language and actions we can take to be more inclusive of those who are childless, and the support out there for those who are childless, whether that's by choice or not. The tweaks she's suggesting are small but powerful, and I'd really recommend taking the time to listen to this episode (plus Berenice is an absolute delight!)
