In this uplifting and honest episode, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui is joined by Claire for a powerful conversation about transformation, mindset and what becomes possible when women stop trying to grow their businesses alone.

Claire shares her real experience inside Design Destiny and Design Thrive, and how these programmes became a turning point not just in her business, but in how she sees herself as a business owner. From shifting long-held mindset blocks to gaining clarity, confidence and direction, Claire opens up about why this work felt genuinely life-changing.

Together, they explore the role mindset plays in business growth, why community support is essential (especially in the early and middle stages of business), and how being surrounded by women on a similar journey creates momentum, belief and accountability.

This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t just about strategy, it’s about who you’re becoming as you build your business, and the environment you place yourself in while doing it.

If you’re an interior designer craving clarity, confidence and support, this conversation will land deeply.

Is Design Destiny for you?

If you’re an interior designer who knows there’s more available to you, more clarity, more confidence, more consistency. Design Destiny is designed to support that evolution.

Combined with the ongoing mentorship and community inside Design Thrive, these programmes create a space where strategy meets mindset, structure meets support, and women grow together.

This episode is your nudge to stop waiting for the “right time” and start backing yourself.

Tune in now and discover what’s possible when you invest in your growth and place yourself in the right environment.
