If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re spinning your wheels in your design business, this episode of Success by Design is your loving-but-direct wake-up call. I’m pulling back the curtain on the paralysis of analysis, the myth of “perfect timing,” and why confidence doesn’t magically appear before you take action — it shows up because you take action.
Designers are some of the most capable, creative people out there. But too often, that creativity gets gridlocked by overthinking, over-planning, and waiting for clarity that never comes. And if you’ve ever looked at your to-do list and felt your brain just… short out? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m diving into:
Why overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re behind — it’s a sign you haven’t chosen what matters most.
The truth about the “perfect moment” (spoiler: it doesn’t exist).
How confidence actually gets built — and why waiting for it is keeping you stuck.
The simplest way to identify your biggest bottleneck — the one thing in your business that, if fixed, would instantly give you more breathing room.
The power of just 20 minutes a day and how “micro CEO time” can completely change your year.
And yes… I’m giving you tough love. Big sister energy. Because you don’t need to overhaul your whole business — you just need one clear next step.
If you’re craving more time, more clarity, more sanity, and a business that feels aligned with the life you want… this episode is going to move you.
Listen now to find your one 20-minute action that will shift everything.
