EP 069 | How Interior Designers Build Real Confidence with Kara Loewentheil (Part 2)

What if confidence doesn’t come from success—but is actually what creates success?

In this episode, Kimberley Seldon continues her conversation with confidence coach Kara Loewentheil about the mindset shifts that help entrepreneurs overcome self-doubt and perform at a higher level. Kara challenges the common belief that confidence is earned through accomplishments and explains why true confidence comes from learning to manage your thoughts, take action, and trust yourself.

For interior designers navigating client relationships, pricing decisions, and business growth, this episode offers practical tools for building confidence from the inside out.

In this episode, we learn:
• How managing your thoughts helps reduce fear, stress, and overwhelm
• Why you don’t need to know everything to be a successful designer
• How confidence comes from trusting your ability to figure things out
• Why clients are ultimately investing in results, not just design services
• How solving problems and reducing stress creates value for clients
• Why developing confidence is one of the most important investments you can make in your business

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

Design Intervention

Don’t bother with positive thinking. Instead, focus on neutral thinking to gain confidence.

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.
