This was such a great second half to our chat.

We chat about online courses to your interiors business as a way to reach more people as well as earn another income in your business.

Then we go deeper into using your intuition in business and leaning into it to make big decisions in your business. How Simone has always used her intuition to lead her on her journey.

What mindset you need to truly believe in yourself as a designer and show up in a way that truly owns your space. The role that we play as designers and change peoples lives through transforming our clients homes.

Moving through imposter syndrome as a chance to really lean into it and wonder why it is coming up.

Simone shares her thoughts that she doesn't believe in work/life balance and that it is more like a scale, where sometimes you lean more into motherhood and then others your time is needed in your business. Its all about communicating with your family and knowing when you need to choose.

Practices Simone uses to help her stay focused and in the right mindset to keep going with such a busy and thriving business.

This week is more of a personal episode where I am sharing the decision around us selling our 'finally' finished beautiful home in Gymea Bay.  This home has been a long renovation of nearly 14 years and we have had many ups and downs along the process.

But we have decided it's time for us to move and and create something new.  Life is too short to stay in the one place for too long and I believe that exciting things come from change.

So, if you are someone who also has a desire to make a change in your life, tune in and hear all about our new adventure and our reasoning behind it.
