Ep 124: Client-First Doesn’t Mean You Come SECOND

In today’s episode, I'm diving into a pattern I see far too often: changing your own boundaries before the client even asks you to.
Whether it’s squeezing in more rooms for the same fee or downplaying the real time and expertise your work requires, I'm going to talk about why this happens, how it shows up in your business, and what to do about it.

You'll learn:
• Being “client-centric” doesn’t mean saying yes to everything. When you lower your standards to be helpful, you’re not serving your client, you’re diluting your value.
• If your offers aren’t clearly defined, you’ll constantly be negotiating them on the fly. Clarity for you = confidence for them.
• You don’t need to justify your pricing, you need to own it. Stop explaining, start leading.
• Practice matters. Walking through real client questions in advance makes you sharper and more grounded when it counts.

If you’re tired of chasing leads, talking people into your value, or saying yes to projects that make you question your life choices, Luxury Client Academy may be your next step.

It’s my private 1:1 coaching program for interior designers ready for better projects, higher fees, and less nonsense.
