Today's episode is a little different, and honestly, one of my favorites I've done in a while.

Instead of teaching a specific construction management strategy, I'm bringing you two honest conversations with designers inside The Designer's Edge. Not polished testimonials. Not highlight reels. Just real conversations about what actually changes when designers start putting better systems, pricing structures, boundaries, and construction management processes into place.

You'll hear from Missy Werbrich, whose background in corporate design and outdoor living helped her build incredible transferable skills — but who still found herself dramatically undercharging and looking for a framework that matched the level she was operating at.

And you'll hear from Cynthia Lacy, a seasoned designer with decades of experience who realized she had fallen into what she calls "routine without purpose" — and how construction management gave her spark for the business back.

We talk about:

• Why so many designers undercharge
• The difference between scope of work and proposals
• Trusting your gut on projects
• Boundaries with contractors and clients
• Why systems create confidence
• The reality of managing construction projects
• And what designers actually need help with behind the scenes

If you've ever wondered whether construction management coaching is really worth it, or whether you're "experienced enough already", I think these conversations will answer that better than I ever could myself.
