On this episode of The Entrepreneur’s Blueprint, I sit down with the incredibly talented Sara Chiodo, founder of Studio Chiodo, a virtual interior design studio based in Kansas City. Sara shares how she went from a career in physical therapy to designing over 125 spaces nationwide—all while being a mom of two and growing her business one step at a time.
We talk about how she found her creative side later in life, the turning point that made her treat her business like a real business, and how her viral kitchen renovation launched a new path. Sara opens up about learning to say no, pricing with confidence, and how she balances work and family while still building something she’s proud of.
This episode is packed with wisdom for any entrepreneur who’s easing into business-building, finding their rhythm, or needing the reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
In this episode, we cover:
What she learned from launching her first paid service
Why raising her prices helped shift her mindset
The importance of saying no and focusing on aligned projects
Her goals for year two of business and beyond
