They discuss Bambi's journey in the design world, her marriage to a custom home builder, and the importance of developing strong relationships with workrooms and showrooms.

    Bambi A’Lynn Bratton is an interior designer who lives in Austin and works all over the great state of Texas. She focuses on the residential market, helping homeowners turn dreams into reality. Bambi believes that she has done her job when people say that they’d rather be at home than anywhere else. “There is so much out there,” she says. “I work hard to make a variety of things mix well together.

  • In this episode, Darla is joined by Katie McDonald to discuss the importance of self-care for business owners. Katie shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to wellness advocate and coach. The conversation delves into how self-neglect can impact both personal wellbeing and business success. Darla and Katie also explore actionable self-care strategies and the challenges high achievers face in balancing their drive with the need for self-compassion.

    Decades ago, the demands of Katie McDonald’s corporate career occupied her every waking moment. She was left feeling depleted and depressed—suffering from spiraling mental and physical health crises that threatened her life. Left with no choice but to transform her body-mind relationship, Katie abandoned her corporate job and healed herself. Fully recovered from years of self-neglect, Katie now works with high achievers who are taking care of business at the expense of taking care of themselves.

  • Are you a new designer struggling to make connections with furniture manufacturers? Are you an experienced designer looking to streamline your sourcing and shipping? Today's guests, Peter and Alexander Spalding, are the creators of Daniel House Club, a website that helps designers find products, manage vendors, and maximize their creativity. Stay tuned!

    The concept behind Daniel House Club is both personal and professional to CEO Alexander Spalding and Chief Brand Officer Peter Spalding. As past owners of an interior design firm, they had experienced the many challenges and complexities of running a design business themselves. The Spalding brothers knew all too well that designers spend excessive amounts of time finding products, managing vendors, and handling logistics – and spend less time on being creative.
