EP 203 | Stepping Into a Bigger Future in Interior Design with Laura Martin Bovard
What would happen if you stopped playing small in your interior design business?
In this episode, Kimberley Seldon is joined by Laura Martin Bovard, also known as The Divine Hustler, for a conversation about confidence, personal growth, and embracing a more audacious version of yourself.
Using examples like Lady Gaga’s transformation into a larger-than-life persona, Laura explores how identity, mindset, and self-expression influence success in both business and life. This episode encourages designers to let go of self-imposed limitations and fully step into their potential.
If you’ve been hiding your ambition, shrinking yourself, or waiting for permission to be more visible, this episode will inspire you to think differently.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
• Why emotional triggers often point to unresolved past experiences
• How playing small drains energy and limits growth
• Why creating an alter ego can unlock confidence and creativity
• The power of leading and creating from feminine energy
• Why healthy competition should focus on personal growth
• How celebrating your accomplishments builds confidence and visibility
• Why allowing yourself to shine benefits both you and your business
