Debt and Design Business

Do you feel guilty for carrying business debt—or worry that it means you’ve failed?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m unpacking the emotional weight we often attach to debt and giving you a new framework to understand the difference between destructive debt and strategic debt.

You’ll learn how to reframe those old messages about money, and see why smart, planned debt can be your ally in business growth. I’m sharing real stories, practical steps to tackle credit card debt, and how to use debt as a tool without shame—so you can keep building a thriving, profitable design business.

In this episode, I cover:

• Where guilt and shame about debt really come from
• The difference between good debt and overspending
• How I used SBA loans and credit lines to grow my business
• A step-by-step strategy to pay down credit card debt
• How to celebrate progress and stay empowered
