EP 066 | How Interior Designers Build Confidence with Kara Loewentheil (Part 1)
What if confidence isn’t something you earn—but something you create?
In this episode, Kimberley Seldon speaks with confidence coach Kara Loewentheil about one of the most important skills for entrepreneurial success. Many interior designers believe confidence comes after achieving goals, landing great projects, or earning more money. Kara explains why the opposite is often true: confidence comes first.
For interior designers responsible for generating business, selling services, and leading clients, developing a strong mindset is essential to long-term success.
In this episode, we learn:
• Why confidence is one of the most important factors in creating the career you want
• How confidence is shaped by your thoughts—not your accomplishments
• Why mindset matters when you’re responsible for growing your own business
• How practicing believable, constructive thoughts can build confidence over time
• Why communicating results—not services—is key to successful sales conversations
• How changing your thinking can transform your confidence and business performance

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson
Kara is a former lawyer, academic, and think tank director who made every parent’s worst nightmare come true by leaving the Ivory Tower to become a life coach – and she’s never been happier! A graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School, she is now a confidence coach and host of The UnF*ck Your Brain Podcast.
Kara works with smart, feminist women whose anxiety and self-doubt are holding them back in their work and relationships. Her clients have spent years of their lives and often thousands and thousands of dollars pursuing the education, professional opportunities, and life milestones that they thought would finally vanquish their insecurity once and for all…only to discover that no job, relationship, or material object made them feel any better about themselves.
That’s where Kara comes in. She combines cognitive strategies, coaching tools, and whip-smart humor to teach you how to create the self-confidence that you need to get anything else you want in life – and to be able to actually enjoy it once you get it. Maybe most importantly, she teaches you how to enjoy – and dare I say it, even love – yourself.
