Every designer knows that uneasy, nauseous feeling that shows up right before a big leap—the one that makes you question your sanity and your business plan. In this episode, Laura sits down with designer Casey FitzGerald to talk about what it really feels like to invest in growth when it’s uncomfortable… and why that “sick feeling” might actually be your best sign of progress.
Laura and Casey dive into:
- Taking big, scary steps in your marketing and business investments
- Why you can’t stop marketing when things slow down (even when it feels counterintuitive)
- How consistency builds momentum—and cushions the slow seasons
- The power of saying “no” to the wrong clients (and how that actually attracts the right ones)
- Balancing fear, intuition, and strategy as you scale
This episode is part pep talk, part reality check, and a reminder that the discomfort of growth is often the doorway to your next level.
In just one focused hour, we’ll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business. You’ll get clarity, strategy, and expert advice based on my 27+ years of running a thriving, seven-figure design firm.
This is your chance to get real answers to the questions you’ve been dying to ask—from someone who’s actually been there.
Book your session as you need it—no strings attached.
