This episode is a little different than all the other episodes I've launched so far... but f*ck it - I feel this message couldn't come at a better time for us interior designers...

I've talked to so many designers in the past two months and so many are feeling somewhat defeated and down-right depressed by the slowdown of our industry in Q1, 2025.

Not to take this lightly - I'm weathering the cooling-of-the-market-storm right there with you - but I wanted to share this little pep talk about the importance of believing in yourself and how seeking external validation from friends and family - ESPECIALLY right now - might be extremely detrimental to your business and mental health.

Grab a coffee, accept the virtual hug & high-five I'm sending your way, and let's chat for a sec about the dangers of external validation and the freedom that comes with knowing who you are, where you're going, and who's going to be there to cheer you along the way (news flash... it's not who you think!)
