In this episode of Designed for the Creative Mind, Michelle sits down with home staging coach Marianne Cherico to explore how staging can become a powerful extension of an interior design business. With decades of experience in real estate and staging, Marianne shares practical strategies for building relationships with real estate agents, shifting mindset, and positioning staging as an investment rather than a luxury.

You'll learn how designers can diversify income streams, stand out in a competitive market, and communicate value in a way that attracts long-term clients and referrals. Whether you're new to staging or looking to refine your approach, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and real-world experience.
