If you’re not getting paid what you’re worth, the real issue might not be pricing—it’s boundaries.

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m diving into why boundaries are the key to profitability, clarity, and peace of mind. From undercharging and scope creep to verbal orders and unpaid extras, I’m sharing the real-world ways designers lose money and respect, and how to stop the cycle.

If you’ve ever ended a project feeling resentful or undervalued, this episode is your call to action.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why most time and money leaks are boundary problems
  • The hidden cost of people-pleasing and over-delivering
  • Why scope creep happens (and how to stop it)
  • The danger of verbal orders and “doing it to be nice”
  • How to shift your mindset from caregiver to CEO
