Send us Fan MailIn this honest and uplifting episode, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui sits down with Alpa Soneji from Studio Alpa to explore her journey inside Design Destiny and the profound shifts that followed.Alpa shares how, before joining the programme, she felt capable but overwhelmed. Like many women in interior design, she was talented and committed, yet lacking clear structure, consistent boundaries, and confidence in her client communication. Through Design Destiny, she gained clarity around her target client, refined her processes, and built foundations that finally supported her rather than stretched her.This conversation highlights the importance of mentorship and community for women in business. Alpa reflects on how having structured guidance, accountability, and a room full of ambitious women created momentum and belief. Over the past 18 months, she has not only strengthened her business model but stepped into a calmer, more confident version of herself as a business owner.It’s a grounded reminder that clarity changes everything. When you understand your services, set boundaries confidently, and treat your work as a business, growth becomes sustainable rather than stressful.You can dive into Alpa’s world HEREThis episode is for the woman who knows she is capable but feels stretched, scattered, or unsure of her next move. Alpa’s journey is proof that you don’t need to push harder, you need stronger foundations.When clarity meets structure and is supported by mentorship and community, business becomes something you lead, rather than something that leads you.Continue the conversation and connect with Lisa-Marie HEREFeel free to DM or tag Lisa-Marie after listening to the episode.And as always if you have loved this episode we would love for you to leave a review and if you screenshot this podcast and share it on your socials, tagging @Design_Boss_Diary in then we have a special gift waiting just for you. See you in the next episode you lovely lot!
