Katrina Fleisher shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Katrina, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
There are few better feelings than getting into a “flow state”, and for me, that is usually when I’m singing, writing, exercising, or meditating.
2025 has been a challenging year in some ways, but through it, I’ve learned how to slow down more often – put my phone away and match the pace of the Earth. Take a long walk with my husband, have a laugh with my son, read an enlightening book, enjoy a deep conversation with my sister – centering things. “As within, so without”.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a happily married mom, volunteer, and small business owner. I own and operate Click Kat Marketing & Media as a marketing consultant, designer, and writer, specializing in the events and entertainment industry. In addition, I help run Let’s Party! DJs & Events with my husband and business partner, Bud. Together we also own and manage the Facebook group, South Florida Weddings, one of the largest and fastest-growing groups on the platform, and we have recently added a companion website.
Like most small business owners, I wear a lot of hats. Apart from sales, marketing, and administrative duties, I design logos, websites, invitations, postcards, flyers, brochures, ads, and business cards. I also write website copy, articles, press releases, personalized wedding vows, and poetry (for pleasure).
I’ve always enjoyed creative pursuits, and when I met my husband 13 years ago, I realized I could use my interests to take his business to the next level while simultaneously making a niche for myself within the marketing industry. I enjoy spreading messages of love, celebration, and the sacred, and promoting companies and individuals that offer quality, value, and substance to clients.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
I think every part of me serves a purpose, and I do my best to welcome all of myself, even my shadows. However, I am working on shifting certain patterns that haven’t been serving me. I’m giving less of my attention to worry, “busy-ness”, and stress, and instead tending more to healing, creativity, and awareness.
Balance is important, and often illusive, but I aim to live a dynamic life, knowing when to say “yes”, and when to say “no”. This year has been full of lessons and inner work. I’ve simplified in some ways and expanded in others.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering has taught me compassion and kindness. We rarely know the struggles and sorrows of others, but everyone has them. As Naomi Shihab Nye wrote, “Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing. You must wake up with sorrow. You must speak to it till your voice catches the thread of all sorrows, and you see the size of the cloth. Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore.”
I do my best to remember this when I feel I’ve been wronged or disrespected, but it isn’t always easy!
It’s helpful to acknowledge our own sorrows as well. I highly recommend “The Wild Edge of Sorrow” by Francis Weller for grief and soul work. It’s one of the most beautiful and meaningful books I’ve ever read.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whose ideas do you rely on most that aren’t your own?
I love what Andre Gide said, “Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.”
I don’t think there are any truly original ideas, but I tend to gravitate toward those who are a lovely mix of gravity and levity.
Recently, I’ve been reading Carl Jung, Goethe, Ram Dass, Emerson, Vonnegut, and Dr. Seuss.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
Awareness would remain – experience and Soul: that integral part of us all. Before we know language, we see what we call sky, hear birdsong, and breathe the air, experiencing and accepting everything as it is in the moment. When all else is stripped away or put aside, there is nothing left of our illusion of separateness from all that is.
