Episode #756: Why You Feel Guilty Charging Private Pay (Even When You Know Your Worth)

May 9, 2026·7 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something most therapists feel but rarely admit: the guilt that shows up the moment you say your rate out loud. We get into why you can believe in your worth completely and still feel it in the room, why you might be making financial decisions on behalf of clients who never asked you to, and what it actually means to put a real offer out there and let it land.
