For too long, we’ve been conditioned to be grateful for scraps. Told to price “fairly” (which always seems to mean less). Encouraged to overdeliver. Rewarded for making ourselves small. Fuck that.
Pricing isn’t just a number. It’s a stance. It’s power. It’s rewriting the script that says women’s work should be cheap, emotional labor should be free, and passion should be its own reward.
When you price with confidence, you’re not just setting rates—you’re setting standards. You’re drawing a line that says, my work is valuable, my time is valuable, and you will respect both.
The Lies You’ve Been Told About Pricing (And Why They’re Bullshit)
🔥 Lie #1: If You Love It, You Should Charge Less.
Passion doesn’t pay the bills. Expertise does. The fact that you love your work doesn’t mean you should discount it. It means you’re damn good at it.
🔥 Lie #2: Lower Prices Attract More Clients.
Sure, but what kind of clients? The ones who nickel-and-dime you? The ones who don’t value your work? Higher prices bring clients who respect your expertise and trust your vision.
🔥 Lie #3: Women Who Charge High Rates Are Greedy.
No. We’re reclaiming what should have been ours all along. We’re building wealth, creating space for others, and setting a precedent that future generations won’t have to fight so hard for.
Pricing With Power Means Owning Your Worth
Your rates aren’t just numbers. They’re a reflection of your self-worth in action. They signal to your clients (and to yourself) that you are a force. That your work is not up for debate. That you refuse to participate in a system that undervalues women’s labor.
So, next time you’re tempted to lower your prices out of fear, ask yourself: Would a mediocre man feel bad about charging double? (Spoiler: No. He wouldn’t.)
Charge with confidence. Charge with fire. Charge like the powerhouse you are.
And if they can’t afford you? They’re not your client.
