Are you an interior designer wondering if coaching is right for you? Curious about taking your business from good to great—or perhaps from zero to thriving? Join Katie as she welcomes one of her coaching clients, Zoe Browne, to the podcast. Zoe’s journey is an inspiring example of how transformative the right support can be, even if your business isn't struggling but simply ready for more.

In this juicy conversation, you’ll discover:

  • Why Coaching Isn't Just for Struggling Businesses: Zoe shares how coaching was instrumental even though her business wasn't in trouble—just ready for growth.

  • How Zoe Transitioned from Color Consultant to Full-Service Interior Designer: Hear the candid behind-the-scenes insights about making big business pivots without overwhelm.

  • The Biggest Aha Moments: Learn the unexpected business necessities Zoe discovered (and why you'll want to handle these ASAP).

  • Pricing Mindset Shift: Why undervaluing your services is the fastest route to burnout—and how Zoe learned to price herself confidently.

  • Building Your Tribe: Katie and Zoe discuss the surprising warmth and collaborative spirit within the interior design industry and why building genuine relationships is a game changer.

  • Hiring Without Fear: Why your first hire doesn’t need to be full-time, and how to find talented help without financial anxiety.

BONUS: Zoe opens up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship, highlighting the compassion and grounding reality checks coaching provides.

If you're ready for real talk about scaling, pricing, and creating a design business that truly serves you—not the other way around—this episode is a must-listen.

I'm your host, Katie Erickson

I’m a commercial exterior and interior designer with an MBA and nearly 20 years in the industry. When I’m not leading my coast-to-coast, multi-million dollar firm, I love sharing real talk on the business of design, blending insights from 20 years as a business professor. I keep it honest—balancing work and chasing my two girls around.
