Feeling burned out and creatively stuck? This could be why.

What if the real reason you’re feeling drained in your business—uninspired, overwhelmed, and a little disconnected—has nothing to do with your workload, your clients, or your schedule? What if the missing piece is something far less obvious, but far more powerful: joy?

In this energizing and eye-opening episode, keynote speaker and author Lisa Even joins the conversation to challenge the hustle-at-all-costs mindset that so many creatives and entrepreneurs have come to accept as normal. Lisa makes a compelling case that joy isn’t just a nice-to-have emotion—it’s a strategy, a survival tool, and a business asset that too many of us are ignoring.

Drawing from both personal and professional experience—including the traumatic loss of her home in a fire—Lisa shares how she rebuilt not just her house, but her mindset. She walks us through her journey of moving from reactive, stress-fueled living to an intentional, joy-driven approach that transformed her work, her creativity, and her relationships.

If you’ve ever felt like your business is running you instead of the other way around, or like you’ve somehow lost touch with the spark that made you fall in love with interior design (or entrepreneurship) in the first place, this episode is for you. Lisa’s insights will help you reframe burnout, rediscover your purpose, and rebuild your energy—not by adding more to your plate, but by shifting your perspective and making intentional choices that nourish you creatively and emotionally.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why Lisa says “you happen to the world”—and what that really means for how you show up every day

Lisa’s approach is both refreshing and deeply practical. She doesn’t advocate blowing up your business or taking a six-month sabbatical to “find yourself.” Instead, she offers simple, actionable shifts you can make today—like creating a joy list or recognizing the difference between your circle of control and your circle of concern. These aren’t just mindset tools—they’re fuel for your creativity, resilience, and longevity as a business owner.

This episode is especially valuable for interior designers and creatives who are feeling the weight of expectations—whether from clients, deadlines, or themselves. Lisa reminds us that while joy might feel elusive in high-pressure moments, it’s often one of the most accessible tools we have when we learn how to tap into it.

The result? More energy, more inspiration, better client experiences, and a business that feels not only successful—but also sustainable.
