In this episode, you'll discover the hidden costs of running an interior design business, the quiet money leaks, emotional spending habits, and overlooked subscriptions that slowly chip away at your profit. Instead of tightening everything to the point of restriction, we walk through how to make more intentional, aligned investments so your business feels lighter, more transparent, and far more sustainable.

If you've been wondering where your profit is going, or why your business feels more expensive than it should, this episode shows you exactly where to look and how to take back control.

In this episode, you'll hear:

(02:18) Why "looking the part" doesn't require overspending

(05:40) How to audit your wardrobe, branding, and personal presentation with intention

(10:12) The silent profit leaks hiding in your tech stack and tools

(14:55) When memberships and associations help, and when they're just noise

(19:43) The difference between appearances and aligned investment
