Communal: Not Just Another Parenting Podcast

How a San Diego Mom is Revolutionizing the Parenting Podcast Market

It was just another day in the Byard household. Jen was juggling the demands of motherhood and work, trying to balance the needs of her two young children and her own ambition. That's when it hit her - she needed a community of parents who could support each other and share their experiences.

That was the inspiration for Communal, a parenting podcast focused on building a community of like-minded parents in San Diego. Unlike other parenting podcasts that focus on advice or interviews, Communal is all about building connections.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Communal has been a huge success, with thousands of downloads and a devoted following. But the numbers tell only part of the story. What really sets Communal apart is the deep sense of community that Jen and her team have built.

Every episode is focused on a different theme, from adapting to a new baby to dealing with picky eaters. But instead of just offering advice, the podcast encourages listeners to share their own stories and experiences. The result is a vibrant community that supports and celebrates each other.

• Over 20,000 downloads in the first year
• Consistently ranked in the top 100 parenting podcasts on iTunes
• A Facebook page with over 1,500 followers
• A private Facebook group with over 500 members
• Over 50 five-star reviews on iTunes

The Power of Community

Jen's vision for Communal has always been about more than just a podcast. She sees it as a way to build a supportive community of parents who can help each other through the ups and downs of parenthood. And that community extends beyond the podcast itself.

Jen and her team have organized meetups, playdates, and other events that allow Communal listeners to connect in person. They have even launched a series of workshops focused on topics like self-care and positive discipline.

For Jen, this sense of community is the most important aspect of Communal. "When you become a parent, you realize how isolating it can be," she says. "But with Communal, you have a whole group of people who understand what you're going through and who are there to support you."
