If you’re an empath, introvert, or highly sensitive human who wants to shine bright (without shouting the loudest) you’re in the right place. In this episode, intuitive business and leadership coach (and self-confessed sensitive soul) Katherine MacKenzie Smith is here to show you how.
Katherine shares her expert tips to help you work to your strengths, honour your energy, and set beautiful boundaries that support you. Plus, we explore the “introvert contradiction” (where you’re just as afraid of being seen as you are of not being seen) and how you can find your visibility sweet spot.
We also dip into some delicious real talk about money and discuss why it’s time to ditch the ‘someday syndrome’, break up with comparison and go after your dreams in a gentle and intentional way.

So guilty of the ‘someday syndrome’. I love how the podcast is embedded into the website too. It’s good to know that the topics discussed aren’t just my own self-deprecating thoughts.
You’re definitely not alone lovely. xx
Hi Sarah. Love the honesty expressed in this podcast. I’ve been doing a lot of “inside” work and it can messy. Yet there are those wonderful days when it all comes together. And that’s so wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
