Every cancellation email feels like a little ache in your chest. And you can’t quite shake the worry that it means something is wrong with what you’ve built.

But here’s what I know after years of working inside memberships, it’s not your content. It’s not your prices. It’s not you.

It’s the experience your members have from the moment they join to the moment they go quiet.

And that is completely fixable.

Every cancellation email feels like a little ache in your chest. And you can’t quite shake the worry that it means something is wrong with what you’ve built.

But here’s what I know after years of working inside memberships, it’s not your content. It’s not your prices. It’s not you.

It’s the experience your members have from the moment they join to the moment they go quiet.

And that is completely fixable.

You’ve built something brilliant. So why do people keep leaving?

You’ve got a membership full of people who said yes. You show up every month, you create content, you run calls, you pour yourself into it.

And then the cancellation emails come.

You refresh your Stripe dashboard hoping the number has gone up. Sometimes it has. But members are leaving just as fast as new ones arrive, and you don’t fully understand why.

You start wondering…is my content not good enough? Do they not value what I’ve built? Am I charging too much?

The answer to all of those questions is NO!

What’s actually happening is that your membership doesn’t have the systems in place to make people feel at home quickly enough, engaged deeply enough, and connected enough to stay.

That’s not a content problem. That’s a membership experience problem. And it’s exactly what I fix.

Hi, I’m Katie.

I’ve spent more than a decade building communities and helping business owners build communities people actually want to be part of. I’ve worked inside memberships of all shapes and sizes and I’ve seen the same patterns play out again and again.

The memberships that keep people aren’t always the ones with the best content. They’re the ones that make members feel like they belong somewhere from the very first welcome email.

I know what great onboarding looks like. I know what makes a member go quiet before they cancel. And I know how to fix it in a way that feels like you, not like a corporate retention strategy.

I’m based in the UK and I work with membership owners all over the world who have built something amazing. They just need the right systems around it.

  • I spent years treating my life as something that fitted in around my business. 

I felt like I had to fill “dead time” like listening to podcasts on the car, on walks and even whilst sun bathing on holiday. 

One day I remembered that I started my business for freedom and I didn’t have any. 

It’s ok to have a walk and just listen to nature. Sun bathe and just listen to the waves. 

It’s ok to take time off and not feel guilty. 

You do not have to choose between a business you love and a life you love. 

You can have both. 

Love you. Mean it.

  • What happens when you design a membership community around belonging and not just content?

A lot of membership owners are asking the wrong question when it comes to retaining members: 

“how do we keep people?” 
“What can we add to get people to stay?”

When I work with membership owners, I asked them why would a member ever want to leave?

The most successful memberships are built around how member feel and it’s starts from the sales page not the onboarding email. 

Members don’t stay because of your content schedule or how much content is available to them. 

They stay because of how you make them feel. 

This is what I help membership owners build. Communities where people feel held, not just served. 

If you run a paid membership and you want to retain more of your members, please DM me and let’s have a conversation about how I can help you, your business and your members.

  • There is a version of romanticising your business that is all candles, aesthetics and a 10 step morning routine.
�But that isn’t what I mean when I say romanticise your business.�
Romanticising your business is the conscious choice to notice, feel and find meaning in what you do, how you do it and who you work with.�
It’s not a soft add on to your strategy and it doesn’t mean that you aren’t ambitious.�
It is a thread through everything, from the biggest strategic decision to the smallest daily habit.��I’ve created an e-magazine and I’ll be creating articles on this over on my Substack. Find the link in my bio.��Love you. Mean it.�Katie x
