Raise Your Prices, Ditch the Guilt

Episode Summary

Ever felt a wave of guilt the moment you raised your prices? Like you needed to over-explain, over-apologize, or just shrink yourself down entirely? You’re not alone — and this episode is exactly what you need to hear. In this candid conversation, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of my own price raise horror stories (hello anonymous hate email 👋), the emotional spiral that followed, and the hard-won realizations that helped me stop shrinking and start honoring my worth. If you’ve ever caught yourself emotionally discounting, whispering your prices, or fearing the fallout of charging more — we’re diving deep into the guilt, fear, and self-worth issues at the root of it all. This episode will leave you feeling empowered, clear, and (finally) unapologetic about running your business like the boss you are. Cozy socks recommended. 💁‍♀️
