Published on: 18th September, 2024

In this episode of the Holistic Interior Design Podcast, I’ll be diving into a topic close to my heart: the five signs that you’re ready to start your own interior design business. If you’ve been dreaming of taking that leap but aren’t quite sure if the timing is right, this episode is for you. I’ll guide you through the key signals that it’s time to turn your passion into a thriving business, from recognizing the experience you already have to giving yourself permission to finally prioritize your creativity. We’ll also explore the desire for more flexibility in your life and how investing in yourself is the ultimate act of self-love and empowerment.

As we wrap up, I’ll be sharing an exciting invitation to my Ready, Set, Launch retreat, an immersive experience designed to give aspiring designers the tools, support, and confidence they need to launch their own businesses. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to step into your dream career, consider this episode—and the retreat—your personal invitation to make it happen.
