ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you keep raising your prices only to discount them, sending proposals you immediately apologise for, or plateauing at the same number no matter how much you grow, this episode is for you. It's easy to blame the market, the economy, or 'difficult' clients. But what if the real ceiling isn't out there at all? What if it's internal?
In this episode, we dig into the limiting beliefs quietly capping your income.
The ones inherited from family, culture, and gender that feel like facts hard to challenge. We talk openly about our own money histories, why women especially carry a charge around wanting to be wealthy, and how to stop treating what you charge as a measure of your worth.
You'll walk away with four questions to spot your own limiting beliefs, plus practical shifts to start closing the gap between what you charge and what you're actually worth.
Topics covered on photography pricing and money mindset:
- What limiting beliefs are and why they don't feel like beliefs at all
- Where money stories actually come from (think family, culture, and upbringing)
- Why women in creative business carry extra weight around wanting wealth
- Four questions to help you recognise your own income ceiling
- Re-framing money as a tool instead of a measure of your worth
- Practical shifts to close the gap between what you charge and what you're worth
