Before I even started planning for a family, I began thinking seriously about scaling my business - and not because of pressure or necessity, but out of pure desire.
Back in 2022, my husband and I made a bold decision: we moved to New York City for six months, just because we wanted to. There was no grand plan, no big reason, just a deep craving to stretch outside our comfort zones, experience the energy of the city that never sleeps, and immerse ourselves in something completely different.
We asked ourselves: “If money wasn’t an issue and work wasn’t an obstacle, what would feel amazing right now?”
The answer: live in NYC, travel the States, and figure out the rest as we went.
But to make it happen, I had to stop being the bottleneck in my own business. I had to see myself as separate from ML Interior Design. I wasn’t going to be physically in the country, yet I still needed the business to run and money to come in.
That’s when the idea of scaling with intention took root.
