Money conversations are hard. But they don’t have to stay that way.
Money conversations are hard. But they don’t have to stay that way.
(And I made you a worksheet that’ll help.)
If you’ve ever stumbled your way through explaining your fee, avoided following up when a client didn’t pay on time, or undercharged because it felt easier than holding the boundary... this is for you.
I know how weird it can feel to talk about money when your work is so personal. When you’re showing up with care, attention, time, presence. And when you genuinely would do it for free if your bills were magically paid.
But they’re not. And if you want to keep doing the work you love, you need to get paid in a way that feels clear and solid.
I recorded a short video about how to do that (for Jessica in my Women’s Small Business Lab), especially if you’re in the birth world or running a small, service-based business.
I also made a worksheet you can download and fill out. It’ll help you think through:
what you charge and why
how you actually want to talk about money with people
where your policies feel strong (and where they don’t)
what boundaries would actually protect your work and your peace
And if your stomach flips at the idea of this stuff...
That makes sense.
Money brings up a lot. Especially for those of us who grew up without it. Or whose work is tied to being good, helpful, generous, or needed.
You’re not wrong if this feels tender. You’re not weak if it’s hard to hold the line.
But it does get easier when you have support.
If you want help working through it—whether that’s the external setup or the internal knots—I offer both money coaching and Somatic Parts Work. That might look like reviewing your pricing and systems, or getting curious about the part of you that still feels bad charging sustainable pricing.
