    Join the Cozy Business Common Room before the price rises September 8th: https://www.skool.com/cozy-business/about


    Last week I realised that the Cozy Business Common Room was turning one year old and, when I sat back to reflect on it, I realised that so much of the big shifts and changes from the past few months started when I launched this space.


    Join me as I reflect on the things I've learnt, what's coming next, and one of my favourite stories about doing what you love and the side quest it may take you on to get to where you want to go.

  • Why I built a free community (and why it's different)
    Aug 26 2025

    I can't believe, after all these years swearing off free communities once I shut mine down, I have just started a brand new FREE community.


    Come and check it out here: https://www.skool.com/the-cozy-community-7211/about


    In this episode, I'm sharing why I changed my mind, how I'm building this one so that it's sustainable, and how I think about adding any new offers or community spaces to my business so that they make sense in the bigger customer journey and goals I have.


    Whether you've just started a membership or group, been thinking about it, or wonder if it's for you - this episode is going to give you some new perspective and shifts, I just know it.


    You don't need to be building on Skool to join us in the group, but if you're interested in checking out the platform for yourself, you can grab a free 14-day trial using my affiliate link: https://katherinemackenziesmith.com/skool

  • Are You Half In or All In? The Energy Your Business Feels
    Aug 20 2025

    If your business feels heavy no matter what you try, chances are it’s not your strategy - it's your energy (or your nervous system).


    In this episode, I’m breaking down the “half in, half out” trap that quietly sabotages momentum. We’ll talk nervous system survival mode, why burning it all down feels easier than showing up, and how to shift back into full-bodied commitment.


    This is real, practical, and something you can apply in your business today.

  • The Way Small Shifts Lead to Big Impact
    Aug 14 2025

    What if the “perfect answer” you’ve been chasing… doesn’t actually exist?


    In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been approaching decisions differently (from pricing to content to launch timing) and the surprising ripple effect it’s had on my business and my clients.


    As well as:

    • Why “unsolvable problems” drain your energy (and how to spot them fast)
    • The question I now ask instead of hunting for the perfect choice
    • How tiny, 10-minute actions can create more momentum than a perfect plan


    If you’ve been stuck second-guessing your next move, this might be the permission you need to just… choose and move forward.


    • Grab Underthinking It - my new book documenting how I'm creating even more ease and flow in my business (and how you can get it too)
    • Join us in the Cozy Business Common Room for the 10-Minute Content Quest

  • How I'm rebuilding trust...with myself
    Aug 6 2025

    You've probably heard me or another business/marketing person talk about the trust recession we're experiencing in the online space this year. But this has led me to exploring trust on a much deeper, more personal level. Trust with myself.


    Join me for this episode and let's talk about what happens when we hand over our power, try to fit in, and squeeze ourselves into strategies that don't support our needs and strengths - especially as introverted, sensitive, and neurodivergent souls.


    Also mentioned in this episode:

  • I started thinking differently about overwhelm (and how you can too)
    Jul 29 2025

    In this episode, I'm sharing some new insights I've had recently on overwhelm - how I think differently about it and how it is now a signal, not a curse that helps me in my business.


    This is for you if you feel stuck right now or find yourself saying that you're overwhelmed a lot.


    I'll share the filters I use to coach myself and move through potential overwhelm or overthinking to make momentum in my business, and how it's changed everything for me.


    If you want to make the rest of the year more about magical flow, and less feeling stuck in the weeds - this might be exactly what you need to hear.


    • Grab Underthinking It for $3.99 - a 27-page guide to get out of your head and making gentle momentum, plus what I've learnt this year and what I'm doing differently

  • How my mid year check in saved me from burnout
    Jul 22 2025

    This year, I fell into a trap I swore I’d avoid - and I want to share how I’m resetting in real-time, not after a burnout crash.


    But, because I do regular check ins, I was able to see what was happening and start course-correcting to do the second half of the year even more aligned and energised.


    Want more of this? I just launched a behind-the-scenes breakdown of how I’m doing business differently - with more flow, less pressure, and way fewer ideas stuck in draft mode. It's called Underthinking It, and I swear, even just documenting and putting this new mini book out has started to shift the energy out of my busy mind and into aligned action.
