Are you busy… or are you actually profitable?

In this rebroadcast episode, I'm revisiting an important conversation for interior designers who want to build a more sustainable business: how to choose a pricing model based on real numbers, not guesses.

I share why revenue and profit are not the same thing, how to look at the different ways money comes into your business, and why your most profitable revenue stream may not be the one you expect.

If you've ever wondered whether your design fees, implementation, consultations, or product resale are actually supporting your business, this episode will help you start looking at your numbers with more clarity.

Episode Highlights:

• Why you need to look at profit, not just revenue
• How to identify your revenue streams
• Why tracking your time matters when choosing a pricing model
• How product resale and implementation can impact profitability
• A simple exercise to help you understand where your business makes the most money

Have you ever sent a proposal to a potential client and then heard nothing back?

In this rebroadcast episode, I'm revisiting an important conversation about pricing pushback, client objections, and the confidence it takes to talk about money in your interior design business.

I share a personal lesson from my early days of testing a fixed-fee pricing model and what it taught me about communication, pre-qualifying, and setting expectations before the proposal ever lands in a client's inbox.

This episode is for you if you've ever second-guessed your fee, felt awkward talking about money, or wondered what to do when a potential client says, "That's more than we expected."

In this episode, I share:

• Why pricing objections are normal, even as your business grows
• How to communicate your value before the proposal stage
• Why pre-qualifying clients helps reduce pricing pushback
• The importance of talking about money early in the process
• How to respond when a client questions your fee
• Why reducing the scope is not the same as discounting your value

If you've ever felt that stomach-drop moment after sending a proposal, this episode will help you approach pricing conversations with more clarity, confidence, and leadership.

Taking time off from your business should not mean cramming your calendar before you leave, checking emails from the dock, and coming back to complete chaos.

In this episode, I dive into what it actually means to take time off from your interior design business without mentally carrying it with you the entire time.

This is a conversation about boundaries, leadership, communication, and building a business that can function without constant access to you. I share the three ways designers often punish themselves around vacation: overloading the days before they leave, staying half available while they're away, and coming back to a packed reentry that erases the rest they just had.

If you've ever felt guilty for taking time off, worried that clients will think you don't care, or found yourself answering emails even after setting an out-of-office reply, this episode will help you rethink what sustainable business ownership can look like.

You'll walk away with practical questions to ask before your next vacation, permission to create clearer boundaries, and a reminder that a calm business creates a better client experience.
