How to Handle Opinions on Pricing
Episode description
One of my absolute pet peeves is when people criticize other people’s pricing.
You may have had this happen before: someone random pops into your DMs, taking it upon themself to tell you that you are charging too much. Of course it’s easy to fall into the trap of letting this shake your confidence… embracing how you price is a vulnerable thing!
But when this happens, there’s a lot more going on under the surface. Those who criticise high prices are usually people who haven’t done the work to challenge their own conditioning around money. And since you’re here, that’s certainly not you!
Your price needs to feel ok in your body, otherwise you’ll avoid talking about it and struggle to sell. This is one of the many reasons that you – and only you - can decide what is ‘right’ to charge within your business. Tune in for more on how!

“One of the things we get wrong when it comes to pricing is that we think it's a very practical exchange, a very practical kind of formula thing to figure out. What you price your work at is far more about what you believe about yourself and your work,.”
“When somebody's criticising your pricing, often that is because they have been taught that there's only so much space for women. Only so many women can be at the top. Only so many women in a certain industry. So they jump in with their hurt, with their worries, with their fears, with their scarcity. And they give it to you.”
“The person who slides into your DMs criticising your pricing, that comes from their money stuff. It’s actually a microcosm of what happens in society as a whole.”
