Sometimes, it's not even about jealousy. Sometimes, you just don't even have a frame of reference for your own deservingness.
This was also me.
Doing excellent work for less than what was equitable. I wanted to “earn” my stripes in “the industry”. But the stripes I earned were deeper levels of poverty and hustling, giving away my high-quality effort and seeing everyone else (especially my clients) as more worthy than me.
This was backwards. Upside down. But it’s a big story in our paradigm.
This is why I believe so many women are on mission to help others raise their rates and break out of this matrix–this bogus story that some invisible industry god is requiring you to pay your dues to "the industry" before you can even think about affording to ethically receive the levels of equitable resources that are required to build sovereignty and sustainability.
If that's you, be kind to yourself for "missing the assignment". You can open your eyes now. See it all in front of you. It’s real. It’s possible. Be honest about what you can do. Own what you bring. Your equity is possible.
I hope this episode encourages you to keep going.
By the way, I’m opening Brave Session again to only 10 spots this season. Find a link to how you can book a 90-minute intuitive strategy session with me here: https://www.thestorydoula.co/brave-sessions. After we sell out, I’ll be closing this container until the next quarter.
