In this episode, I’m giving a heartfelt shoutout to all the incredible mums who are building their interiors business while juggling the demands of family life. I see you managing it all—kids, household tasks, and even other jobs—while still finding time to chase your passion. It’s not easy, but you’re doing it, and that deserves to be celebrated! I share my own experiences of building a business with young children and reflect on what I’d do differently today to pour from a full cup instead of an empty one.
I also dive into the story of one of my inspiring clients, a mum navigating sleepless nights, a partner who works away, and little to no support system—yet she’s showing up for her dreams every single day. We talk about the importance of choosing yourself, setting boundaries, asking for help, and giving yourself grace. Whether you're in the thick of it with babies or managing teenagers, this episode is a reminder that you can follow your dreams and be an amazing mum at the same time.

In this episode, we dive into the power of building authority as an interior stylist or designer and why it's the key to standing out in a saturated market. I share my own journey of stepping into my authority—showing up online, providing solutions, and embracing my unique expertise—which transformed my business. Building authority isn’t just about being visible; it’s about becoming the go-to expert for your dream clients. Whether it’s through sharing tips, showcasing your process, or hosting workshops, being consistent and authentic will help you build trust, confidence, and an engaged audience.
You'll learn actionable strategies to position yourself as an authority in your niche, like collaborating with industry peers, creating valuable content, and leveraging storytelling. I also discuss mindset shifts needed to overcome fears of judgment and imposter syndrome. Authority isn’t about perfection; it’s about connecting with your audience and showing them the magic only you bring to the table. If you're ready to elevate your interiors business and become an in-demand designer, this episode is for you!

In this episode, I dive deep into the fears that hold us back—fear of failure, judgment, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt. These feelings are ones I’ve navigated throughout my career and still encounter at times. I share how these fears often signal the next phase of growth, encouraging us to push through and reach new heights in our business. I recount a pivotal moment when I overcame self-doubt to take on a major project that led to significant breakthroughs and success. Mindset is the cornerstone of progress, from posting confidently on social media to pricing your services with assurance.
I also discuss practical tools and strategies to manage fear and build confidence, such as reframing thoughts and creating affirmations. Discover the power of embracing your unique blend of skills and experiences and learn why perfection can stifle growth. Authenticity is key—showing up as your true self will connect you with your audience and potential clients. This episode will empower you to take bold steps forward, build trust with your audience, and position yourself as an in-demand designer. Don’t miss my special offer: the 'Own Your Space' mini course to help you step out from behind your projects and shine online.

I am super excited to share todays episode with my guest Catherine Heraghty from The Stables.

This was such a great second half to our chat.
We chat about online courses to your interiors business as a way to reach more people as well as earn another income in your business.
Then we go deeper into using your intuition in business and leaning into it to make big decisions in your business. How Simone has always used her intuition to lead her on her journey.
What mindset you need to truly believe in yourself as a designer and show up in a way that truly owns your space. The role that we play as designers and change peoples lives through transforming our clients homes.
Moving through imposter syndrome as a chance to really lean into it and wonder why it is coming up.
Simone shares her thoughts that she doesn't believe in work/life balance and that it is more like a scale, where sometimes you lean more into motherhood and then others your time is needed in your business. Its all about communicating with your family and knowing when you need to choose.
Practices Simone uses to help her stay focused and in the right mindset to keep going with such a busy and thriving business.
