💰 Keep Calm, Carry On, Increase Your Rates With Sarah Mac

EPISODE SUMMARY What's your stickiest money block? For many entrepreneurs and service providers, it's raising rates - even when we know we deserve more. In this episode of the Money Healing Club Podcast, Rachel(Certified Financial Therapist) speaks with Sarah Mac, money witch and business strategist, to tackle a listener's question about overcoming self-worth issues and cultural conditioning around charging what you're worth. They dive deep into the emotional blocks that keep us small, practical strategies for pricing with confidence, and why being uncomfortable might mean you're doing it right.   "Nobody will value your work more than you do. You have to be able to lead with that. You have to be able to celebrate yourself, and if you can't do that, don't expect other people to have the confidence to invest in you."   Key Takeaways:

• Cultural conditioning (especially British "don't boast" mentality) creates deep blocks around money
• Confidence comes through evidence and taking action, not just thinking about it
• Your discomfort when raising rates often signals you're on the right track
• Being a "permission slip" for others helps reframe individual pricing decisions as cultural change
• You can't help everyone - and trying to often means helping no one well
