Help Someone Find Their Way Home (and Get Paid for It)

You know that thing you’ve done or learned — the one that changed something for you?

The system, the insight, the shortcut, the haircut, the story you now think everyone must already know?

They don’t.

And while you’re busy downplaying it, someone out there is stuck, wishing for exactly the knowledge you’re sitting on.

And when you hide what you know, you don’t just stall your own growth; you starve someone else of possibility.

You could be the breadcrumb that helps another woman find her way home.

But that means opening your mouth. Sharing your wisdom and yes, charging for it. Because i’m willing to bet my morning latte that your experience wasn’t free to earn. You paid for it with time, mistakes, and probably more than a few tears you didn’t post about.

So if you need to hear this today, let me be clear. You do not have to apologise that your knowledge or experience costs money.

It’s time to stop treating expertise and experience like a public service announcement and start treating it like what it is — value.

💸 You can charge for what you know.
💪 You can set boundaries around your work.
🩷 You can allow those who don’t see the value to walk or scroll on by.

The next time someone questions your pricing, your paywall, or your worth, remind yourself “It’s just business, baby.”

Because it is.

Don’t shrink. Don’t wait until it’s perfect. Don’t apologise for the invoice that follows your genius.

You earned every ounce of that knowledge; now it’s your turn to let it earn for you. Now go help someone else find their way home by being brave enough to go first.

I believe in you (always).
