If you’re constantly doing “just one more thing” for free, it’s not about client service, it’s a boundary issue.

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m breaking down how scope creep sneaks into your projects and steals your time, profits, and peace of mind. From color consults and last-minute requests to Wayfair screenshots and patio meetings, we’re calling it what it is: unpaid work.

You’ll learn why scope creep happens, how to recognize it early, and what to say to stop it in its tracks, kindly, clearly, and confidently.

In this episode, I cover:

• Real examples of scope creep and how they sabotage your business
• Why people-pleasing turns into resentment and burnout
• How to write LOAs that protect your time and value
• Scripts for responding to “by the way” requests
• The role of mindset and self-worth in boundary setting
• How scope creep can turn into extra income with the right systems
