Send a textIn this uplifting and empowering episode, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui sits down with Catrin Stuart, who shares her experience inside Design Destiny and Design Thrive, and the profound shifts that followed.Catrin reflects on how what began as a passion gradually evolved into a structured, confident business. She speaks openly about the clarity she gained around her processes, pricing, and positioning, and how that clarity transformed not only her business decisions but her self-belief as a businesswoman.A recurring theme throughout this conversation is the power of community. Catrin describes the experience of being surrounded by ambitious, supportive women who were equally committed to growth. That environment, alongside mentorship and structured guidance, created momentum, accountability, and confidence.This episode explores the importance of treating your work as a business rather than a hobby, understanding the role of investment in growth, and building pricing strategies that support sustainable success. It’s a warm and honest conversation about stepping into leadership, backing yourself properly, and allowing your passion to become something professionally powerful.You can dive into Catrin’s World HEREThis episode is a reminder that loving what you do is only the beginning.
