Hey, y'all. You may have noticed that there have been a few rereleases of previous episodes recently. There is a reason behind that, and in this short solo episode, I want to share some exciting updates happening around here. I also talk about the importance of reorganizing and prioritizing tasks in your business and giving yourself some grace to avoid overwhelm and maintain your sanity.   Michelle Lynne began her interior design career after spending more than two decades working in Corporate America. She began in the home staging arena and has since built a successful, award-winning, full-service interior design firm, employing talented designers and serving clients across the country.   In the summer of 2018, Michelle began focusing on a big gap she saw missing in the interior design industry: teaching interior designers how to run the business of an interior design business. She now engages in private coaching and leads an in-depth, 12-month group coaching program, both options focus on teaching designers profitable processes, systems, strategies, and mindset needed to run a streamlined, profitable interior design firm.   Her motto is simple: we rise by lifting others.   Get more info about our year-long mentorship and coaching program: https://www.designedforthecreativemind.com/business-bakery    Text UPDATES to 214-380-1969 for all our DFCM updates.   SIMPLIFY YOUR MARKETING, SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE.

Why is interior design important in our lives and why does it matters?   Interior design is the intersection of practical construction knowledge with creativity and artistic style.

This week we are defiantly going GUEST-LESS to discuss the wall-to-wall elephant in the room: carpets. We walk on them, we clumsily spill red wine on them, and we ask if they "match the drapes."

Here is another audience favorite I thought would be a great episode to replay this week. How do you handle pricing your services? Send me a DM on Instagram, and let's chat about it!   In this episode, I am sharing my view of flat-rate pricing versus charging an hourly fee for your design services. Although I am a huge fan of value-based pricing, there are some times when you will need to charge clients by the hour. The bottom line is you need to price your services correctly so as you start to work faster you make more profit. Then continue to analyze and increase your pricing year over year. This topic is one I LOVE talking about, so let's jump in!   Michelle Lynne began her interior design career after spending more than two decades working in Corporate America.

Your home is a reflection of the stage or even the state of mind you are in.     Welcome to today's episode of the ‘School of Self-Image' Podcast with host and self-image coach, Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. This is a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.   Do you agree that your home is a reflection of who you are? Because I strongly believe that your home represents and reveals so much about a person, even their personality. The way you decorate your home, the colors you choose, and the furnishings you choose based on your preferences, speak volumes about you.   The things you display such as photographs or mementos that connect to your values and beliefs show what is most important to you. And what about your experiences? Do you travel? Do you cherish those memories and places?  Anyone who enters your home will know this instantly depending on what they see.  Is your home calm, cluttered,  busy, or colorful? What does your home reveal about you?  Over the years of moving from one place to another, I've had so many where I have learned so much about someone just by living for a time in their space. Your home is part of your self-image, even without you knowing it. If you're curious to know more about what your home reveals about you, head over and listen to this week's episode!  What I Cover In This Episode: 0:00 - Intro 1:21 - Tips for getting things done 2:15 - What does ‘home mean to you'? 6:05 - How is Tonya Leigh living her life? 10:44 - What is your home saying about you? 14:14 - My top 4 values 15:38 - What is your version of your own ‘ideal wealthy home'? 21:44 - How to be a woman for the future? 23:23 - Reasons why your home is a great reflection of who you are Quotes:   “I often say your inner world creates your outer world. So, how you think and feel impacts the choices that you make, and those choices create results equal to your outer world. Everything that's around your environment, your home, the people you hang out with impact your inner world.”   “I'm a big advocate of changing your outer world to help you change your inner one. One of the ways that we can do that is to focus on elevating, transforming, and possibly even changing our home ~ the place that we live because our home reveals so much about us.”   “When we're looking at our homes, it tells a big meta-story about us. It can tell us our fears. It can tell us about our darkest secrets. It can tell us about our personality, and our dreams. Our house can reveal so much. It also offers us a snapshot of what's going on within us at this moment.”   “I look around at the things that I've chosen to have.  Over the next year as we live here, it's actually really telling. That's the beauty of a home. It will reveal to you what's important. It will reveal to you what your values are. It will reveal to you maybe even your dreams and your fears.”   “No matter the state of your home right now, you are an amazing, beautiful woman. So what your home is revealing about you is simply your thought and about your environment, because at the end of the day, that's our whole experience, what we think about everything.” Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto   Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

When Maureen describes this episode she uses the word JOY. When Jessica describes this episode she uses SURPRISE.It was a joy to record and a joy to edit. It was a surprise that we talked for over an hour (or maybe that was no surprise, ha!) and that we only briefly touched upon the three topics that we thought would be the focus.Mike was born and raised in Garrett County. School and jobs took him to Pittsburgh, Washington DC and most recently New York City. COVID brought him back home and it's because of friends, family, work, and creative projects that he's able to easily choose to live and stay here. We were most impressed by Mike's outlook on life and the message of goodness in humanity that he shared.You can mostly find Mike at Railey Design Furniture & Home Decor near Deep Creek Lake where he works as a Pillow Expert and Designer: https://www.raileydesign.com/For more information about us, the Mountain Maryland Mamas: Website: www.mountainmarylandmamas.comInstagram: @mtnmarylandmamasFacebook: www.facebook.com/mountainmarylandmamasAs always, thank you so much for being here to share in these conversations with us!

Preet Brar, global brand leader in consumer goods and guest on this episode, understands markets and teams. I asked her about changes in the external markets, and how to lead teams internally to bring ideas to reality. External - new ideas in the market:3:52 - “There was a lot of cross-category buying… people that were in one category historically, started to experiment with other categories.” 4:50 - “People who were just using brick and mortar retail (now are) trying online…. Wholesalers are trying to go direct to consumers.” 5:46 - “Sustainability, eco-friendly product… nobody took it seriously. But now… it's not a nice-to-have, but it's a need-to-have thing for brands now… the consumer is ready to make the change.” 10:50 - about the share economy and re-use, re-furbish, and renting: “Home Decor has an opportunity to do something similar. The consumer is ready… it's about somebody coming up with a platform…with ease for them to start using it.” 15:12 - “Shopping online is going to get easier and easier, the technology continues to improve. And I think it's going to be (online vs. brick and mortar shipping) close to 40/60 or 50/50 by the end of this decade.” Internal - leading teams to bring ideas to reality:18:05 - “Everybody on your team needs to know what success looks like, and where they're contributing… it's taking that vision, creating it bite size, sharing it with your team: This is who we are…what we want to do…that creates an environment of belonging and understanding. And then it builds trust.” 21:05 - “Sometimes you overestimate what you can do in a day, but underestimate what you can do in a year.” 21:48 - “If you're indispensable, you're not a leader - how do you make yourself dispensable?” - “Being dispensable is freedom.” 23:30 - “Mentorship goes both ways. We have to coach and be coachable.” 25:03 - “It's much more important today to have energy flowing between departments, within departments, between the more senior folks and the more junior folks… creating an environment where energy is flowing, whether you're sitting next to each other or 5,000 miles apart, just talking on a Zoom call.” 26:12 - “As a leader, you want to help people identify their strengths, and kind of see it for themselves, what they're good at, and build on that.” 26:50 - “I wish I had known decades earlier that I have to embrace my superpowers, and I have to help others embrace their superpowers.”

Welcome back to an exciting new season of Hearts & Stripes podcast.  Season 5 is our Roller Coaster Season where we are looking at the highs and lows of service marriages.  In this episode we are chatting with MMD Ambassador Sara Roberts.  She shares her milmarriage story and lessons learned.     About Sara: I have been an Air Force Reserve spouse for almost 10 years and have had the honor of supporting my husband and his squadron through 4 deployments so far. We have 2 wonderful children a 6 year old son and a very spirited 2 year old daughter. I serve as Wing Key Spouse Mentor, Reserve Spouse Mentor with MSAN and my son's Cub Scout leader on top of being a mom and wife.   Here is a quick look at the conversation highlights:   Reserve families are a gift to our military community.  They are the continuity we need and yet their families still face challenges of deployment, reintegration and needing support. Thank you to Armed Forces Insurance for recognizing military spouses through the AFI MSOY program.  Check out out the 2023 Base Winners! https://msoy.afi.org  MMD Advice from Sara: Ask for help!  We all need different levels of support in each season.  Also, don't say “I'm just a military spouse”. You are valuable. Finally, ACCEPT the help.  We may be helpers, but helpers need to receive help too.

The original idea for this episode was a game - which, yes, Sol (@solthompson), Michael (@_smithstagram), and John (@johnhogeboom) eventually play - but conversations involving Funko Pops managed to derail basically the entire episode. So, here's what I'll do: I'm going to do quick descriptions for both. The boys are back, discussing Freddy Funko, Leslie Knope, and obviously, the best investment money can make: Funko Pops! Join Sol, Michael, and John as they discuss cornering the market, best investments, and grading their rarest Funko Pops on this episode of the Pop of Kings Popcast!It's time for some AI-generated fun, as Sol, Michael, and John link up to play "That game Sol talked to us about a couple of weeks ago that he said he wanted to play, but he needed all three of us to be available and John was kind of busy searching for a job." The rules are simple: Sol prompted the world's premiere, non-sentient (we hope) artificial intelligence with some questions about popular fashion items and/or brands, and John and Michael play to see who can break through the technology-powered veil to score points and prove their knowledge!It's an absolute blast of an episode - which includes a spit take - and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording.

I'm back from a whirlwind trip to New York where over 50 of our Paper Camp alumni were exhibiting at NY Now and Shoppe Object - two wholesale trade shows. It was such a treat to visit with everyone and to see their new products on display. Both shows were buzzing with buyers, press and brands looking to collaborate. The energy was high and orders were being written. You know… at Paper Camp we like to talk about how selling wholesale is a marathon, not a sprint.  And, exhibiting at wholesale trade shows is just one way to get your products in front of your buyers. Exhibiting at a trade show is no small feat though. There are endless decisions, logistics and shows are a big investment of time, energy and money. When done well, the payoff of exhibiting comes not only through sales at the shows, but also new contacts we meet, conversations we have and face time with our buyers, which is where the long term benefits come into play.  Those face to face connections with current and prospective accounts are priceless. Today's episode is a compilation of short interviews I conducted on the show floors in New York.

Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) are back with this week's special guest Harry Chadha (@harrychadha_), the man behind the incredible Telfar TV sets, Stadium Goods, and so much more. Tune in as the boys talk about the best and worst designed cities, the Houston Rockets, and how to set yourself apart in the design space. For anybody interested in furniture and design (especially as fashion becomes so much more intertwined), be sure to give a listen and enjoy!Love you!

My next guest is Liz Lidgett, an art advisor and gallery owner based in Des Moines, Iowa. Her gallery operates differently than the traditional gallery. She wants to provide original art pieces at every price point and help people learn how to budget for, find their style, and incorporate art pieces into their homes.   Liz is here to share her insight with our listeners and help build confidence in finding the best art to incorporate into your client's homes. She shares her background and how she got into this type of work, how to find out what style of art your clients will like, and her take on if the art should match the design space.   We also discuss how much of a client's budget you should set aside for art and the significance of original artwork versus mass-produced or printed versions. Liz represents many unique artists, both local and abroad, and believes your art collection should represent your personal mission and values.   Mentioned in this episode: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho   Find Liz on Instagram @LizLidgett and @LizLidgettGallery.

I'm trying something new called Mixed Drinks. Instead of one topic, I'll touch on a number of shorter topics on my mind. Today we're talking about expensive home decor, losing expensive car keys, and having mixed emotions as the stock market goes up. And just for fun, wooden hangers, the Off the Couch February challenge, and the state of my 2023 goals. My plan is to bring you episodes on Tuesday focused on one topic and Mixed Drinks on Thursday. Cheers! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lizgetsloaded/message

My next guest is another graduate of our Interior Design Business Bakery. She is also a familiar voice in our Interior Designers Business Launchpad Facebook community, sharing her knowledge and experience with others in the group.   In this episode, Kristen Reyes shares how the Bakery has changed her business processes even though she already had years of interior design experience under her belt. She truly believes in community over competition and how investing in yourself may be scary at first, but intentionally spending money will help make you money in your business.   Kristen Reyes knew she would be an interior designer by age 11. Coming from a long line of contractors and artists, she pursued a prestigious degree in interior design at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Post-grad, she was recruited by top international design firms completing projects for Southwest Airlines HDQ to luxury high-rise developments that dot the Dallas skyline. Today, she brings this high-level expertise in construction, design, and project management to her busy, professional clients looking to design forever-family homes. Most recently, she has been featured in Forbes, Realtor.com, Homes & Gardens, and Apartment Therapy.   Learn more about Kristen at her website www.seyinteriors.com and connect with Kristen on Instagram @sey_interiors and Facebook @sey_interiors. You will also see her commenting in our Facebook group as Kristen Lynn Reyes.   Text UPDATES to 214-380-1969 for all our DFCM updates.   To stay in touch with Michelle, please follow her on Instagram and join our Free Facebook Community!   Have ideas or suggestions or want to be considered as a guest on the show?  Email me!   Podcast edited and managed by Haili Murch LLC.   If you are interested in starting a podcast or you are currently a podcaster needing help managing or relaunching your podcast, you may email Haili Murch at hello@hailimurch.com or you can click here to book a call: https://calendly.com/hailimurch/podcast-discovery-call

Bertille de Lestrade is an artist and on her Instagram account called Darling Toutim, she primarily shares her sculptural and mixed media pieces.  Her other instagram account is called Cette Maison Bleue, and that's where she showcases her paintings of private interiors... living rooms, bedrooms, etc. and that's why I wanted her to come on the show... to talk about the connection she makes between art and interior design.  But this conversation turned out to be a whole lot more than that.  Bertille has such a generous spirit about her.  We do talk about her work as an artist, of course, be we also talk about coming through to the other side of depression, developing self confidence, and finding beauty in the world, as well as putting beauty into it.  

In this episode, I chat about... - what is feng shui + how it affects your work - tips to help amplify your energy around your work - tips to connect you to your business intuition - a few things to look out for that may be causing stagnation in your business Get inside my workshop HIGH VIBE HOME here Book a Feng Shui consultation with me here ***WELCOME TO MY WORLD***

There is a genuine warmth emanating from my guest, Marie Flanagan.  She's a designer in Houston, TX and she's just come out with her first book called The Beauty of Home.  Now, I gush a little bit about the book in the very beginning so let me just say here that I found Marie's chapters to each be a foundational lesson in design that clarifies so much of the intangible elements such as composition, character, palate, depth... and my conversation with her is like sitting in on several master classes rolled into one.  I think you're going to get a lot out of this episode and even more out of her book.
