This episode is recorded with "special sound effects that you may hear," which buttresses this conversation about interrupting patterns that sneak into our daily operations as home staging business owners. The kind of patterns that don't just slow us down but quietly sabotage the very growth we're working so hard to create.

Today, I'm sharing one of the most important mindset shifts I've made and helped my clients make in their staging businesses: realizing that wanting success more isn't always the answer. Sometimes, it's the problem.

We often have the constant drive to push harder, say yes to everything, discount just enough to close the deal, or keep our phones by our side all night just in case a client reaches out. We convince ourselves that landing the next project, hitting that revenue goal, or the emergency install squeezed into an already maxed-out calendar is the right thing for our business.

But underneath that hustle is often anxiety dressed up as work ethic, and it's costing us more than we realize.

Starting with the experiences of other home staging business owners who've lived through that same cycle, you'll also hear how making small but intentional shifts, rooted in what I call sufficiency energy, can help you lead your staging business with more clarity, confidence, and ease without dialing down your ambition.

I hope this episode helps you exhale, assess your position, and make one powerful move toward the kind of home staging business that holds your success, not just chases it.
