Breaking Money Cycles: Financial Trauma - The Hidden Cost of Being the Affordable Option
Manage episode 509022897 series 2621861
If you've ever caught yourself saying "I don't want to price myself out of the market" or felt that familiar guilt creeping in when considering raising your prices, you're about to discover why being the affordable option is actually a financial trauma response. The hidden cost of undercharging isn't just the money you're leaving on the table - it's the cycle of resentment, exhaustion, and trauma responses that keep you trapped in patterns of unworthiness. In my book "It's Not About The Money," I explore how under-earning often starts as a trauma response where we overwork to prove ourselves, yet still feel undeserving. Today, I'm diving into why you've learned that charging less keeps you safe from rejection, but what's really happening is that every time you undercharge, you're training your body to believe you're worth less. This belief doesn't just affect your pricing - it rewires how you show up in every area of your life, creating a perfect storm where all three money zones get hijacked simultaneously.
