If you’ve ever wished you had more support in running your design business—not just in the creative parts, but in the legal, financial, and strategic decisions—this episode is for you. I'm announcing The Advisory Club, a monthly business coaching membership exclusively for Interior Designers. I share with you the why—the story of how this membership came to be, what I’ve seen over the past decade working with design firms, and why I believe this is going to be such a game-changer for so many of you.

You know that sinking feeling when you get that email or phone call from an unhappy client? Your heart starts racing, your palms get sweaty, and your mind immediately goes to worst-case scenarios. Trust me, I get it. I've spent the last 10 years helping designers through these exact situations, and I'm here to tell you – it's not just survivable, it's actually an opportunity to showcase your professionalism and improve your business processes.

In this episode we dive into some real life scenarios designers have faced. We’ll talk about what to do (and what not to do!) when you have a client conflict. I show you the exact 4 step process I use to help my clients successfully navigate tricky situations in their businesses so you can come out on top. You don't want to miss this one!

Hurricanes, floods, fires! Our communities have been hit hard by natural disasters. Is this really the time to market your luxury design services? Absolutely!

As interior designers you're uniquely positioned to help, whether it's a partial restoration or a full rebuild. You have the expertise to guide these families through the rebuilding process, something many of them have never had to navigate before. This isn't just about making spaces pretty - it's about rebuilding homes and restoring hope.

This episode will provide you with an actionable strategy so you can help your community, enhance your firm’s image, and get new business following a hurricane, fire, or other natural disaster.

Do you ever feel like you don’t have anyone to talk to about your latest milestone or snafu on a project? Sure you can talk to your spouse or your employees, but do they really get it? Do you wish you had more people in your inner circle that could relate to the ebbs and flows of owning a creative business, balancing life, and hatching your big dreams?

Today’s episode is for you! We are talking about friends, why you need them, what makes a good one, and how to find ones who lift you up and demand your best.

You deserve to have friends who understand your journey, celebrate your wins (no matter how small they might seem to others), and push you to be better.

We are kicking off our end-of-year business reviews with a practice of gratitude. I'll show you how to call forward gratitude for your accomplishments this year, celebrate your milestones and successes, and put the energy of gratitude into practice to activate the magic of abundance.

Follow along on Instagram @thedesignerscounsel for meditations to support your practice!

Happy Thanksgiving!
