    The podcast is going on pause while I take a six-month sabbatical, but there is still so much here to support you in the meantime. In this short update, I'm sharing what to expect while I'm away, where to start in the podcast archive, and how to continue using these resources to support your growth as an interior design business owner.

    Whether you're new to the show or have been here for years, this is an opportunity to revisit episodes that resonate, explore topics that meet you in your current season, and stay connected through Monday Mindset. I'll be back this fall with new episodes, and until then, there are plenty of tools, resources, and guidance to support you and your business.

  • 169. Designed to Thrive: My Holistic Approach to Growth
    Apr 29 2026

    What if the challenges you're facing in your business aren't coming from just one place, but from a combination of how you're thinking, how you're feeling, and what you're doing? In this episode, I'm sharing the Designed to Thrive framework, my holistic approach to growth that brings together mind, body, and strategy so you can build a business that actually works for you.

    As this is the final episode before my sabbatical, I wanted to leave you with a core framework you can return to while I'm away. I walk you through each part of this approach and how to use it as a lens when something feels off in your business. Instead of jumping straight to fixing the strategy, you'll learn how to look at what's happening from multiple angles so you can identify what truly needs attention.

    By the end of this episode, you'll have a new way to evaluate what's working, what isn't, and what to do next. This is a framework you can come back to again and again as your business evolves, helping you move forward with more intention, confidence, and trust in yourself.

    Apr 15 2026

    Have you ever felt like you need to hit pause, take a step back, and re-evaluate? In today's episode, I'm sharing why I've decided to take a sabbatical and what that means for me, my business, and you. I'll also dive into how you can navigate your own major life changes, whether it's a sabbatical or another type of transition.

    I walk you through the internal work involved in making decisions, why taking time off can actually be a game-changer for your business, and what can happen when you embrace new paths. This episode is a personal behind-the-scenes look at my decision, and I'm sharing my process to help you move through your own moments of transition with confidence and clarity.
