Are you struggling to communicate your private pay rate to clients with confidence? In this Feelings and Finances episode, Linzy answers Annette’s question about how to share her new private pay rate without feeling guilty or awkward. Annette has been working hard to build her practice but still finds it difficult to comfortably state her fees.

Linzy provides actionable advice for managing this common challenge. She explains how to present your fee as a simple fact, not something to apologize for or negotiate. Linzy also dives into the emotional side of money conversations, exploring how to address fears of rejection and the discomfort of charging what you're worth. She encourages Annette—and all therapists—to focus on their value and to create the financial structure that supports their well-being and career growth.

If you’ve ever felt nervous or uncertain about raising your rates, this episode will give you the tools to manage your emotions and approach these conversations with clarity and confidence.
