Episode 67: Client Red Flags That Cost You Time, Profit, and Peace

Ever left a client meeting thinking, “Is it me… or are they just an ahole?”** If yes, you’re not alone—and this episode is definitely for you.

In this episode we are pulling back the velvet curtain on the three personality types that show up in interior design projects: discerning, demanding, and downright disrespectful. The differences between them? Subtle… but game-changing.

We’re diving into:

• What separates a high-standard client from a high-maintenance one

• Red flags we’ve learned to spot (and wish we had sooner)

• How to professionally course-correct when clients go off the rails

• When to part ways—and how to protect your team and peace in the process

• And yes, how we’ve dealt with those 17-texts-in-20-minutes situations 

This isn’t a rant. It’s real talk. Because respect is everything, and your best clients? They’ll push you in the best way possible.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to set boundaries, stay sane, and still deliver incredible work, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and permission to ditch the drama and chase the dream projects.
