In this grounded and reassuring episode of the Design Boss Dialogue podcast, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui speaks directly to women in the interior design industry who feel capable, talented, yet quietly unsure of themselves.

Lisa-Marie explores why so many designers experience imposter syndrome, not because they lack confidence or ability, but because they are trying to build businesses without clear structure, services, or sales processes. She reframes imposter syndrome as a structural issue rather than a mindset flaw, and explains how clarity creates confidence, ease, and authority.

This episode dives into the importance of understanding your services, guiding clients through sales conversations with clarity, and building foundations that support you rather than drain you. Lisa-Marie also introduces the Designer’s Blueprint Bootcamp as a practical and supportive space for designers who are ready to move from feeling like hobbyists into confident, grounded business owners.

It’s an honest reminder that confidence doesn’t come from pushing harder or fixing yourself. It comes from knowing what you offer, how you sell it, and having the right structure around you.

This episode is for the interior designer who feels capable but uncertain, busy yet unclear, and quietly questioning herself behind the scenes. If you’ve ever wondered why confidence feels elusive despite your talent, this conversation will help you see that nothing is wrong with you.

You don’t need to become more confident.
You need clearer foundations.

And once those are in place, everything begins to feel lighter.

Before you go I am hosting The Designer’s Blueprint Bootcamp, a free, five-day live bootcamp designed to help interior designers rebuild and strengthen the foundations of their business and one of our pillars are building more confidence through internal energetics and what that looks like.

Over five days, you’ll explore the core areas of your interior design business that influence clarity, confidence, boundaries, and sustainable growth. I will guide you through identifying what needs to be built, refined, or reset so your business can properly support you.
