Your worth is waiting to be remembered.
I sat staring at the proposal I had just sent. Something felt off. The scope was clear, the deliverables solid, but there was a nagging feeling I couldn't shake.
I had priced myself at what I thought they'd pay, not what the work was truly worth. Not what I was worth.
In the rush to provide clarity for this potential client before my holiday break, I'd betrayed future me – the one who would be doing the actual work.

This week, I've been sitting with Sarah Blondin's meditation on remembering your worth and I thought of you. Her gentle reminder has been exactly what I needed to hear:
"You learn to receive when you stop trying to prove your worth."
In the business world, particularly for those of us leading our own ventures, we so easily fall into proving, validating, and quantifying our worth – when it's already there, waiting to be remembered.
I see it weekly - brilliant solopreneurs drowning in admin, scrambling to find the right support, feeling utterly depleted. On the surface, it looks like a capacity problem. But sometimes when we dig deeper, often it's actually it's about our inner worth.
It's like carrying water in a basket. No matter how many systems you implement or people you hire, if you're undervaluing your work and saying yes to projects that don't honor your worth, you'll always feel like you're leaking energy.
What appears as an operational challenge can sometimes be a valuation issue. We price ourselves based on urgency, fear, or what we think the market will bear – rather than the true impact of our work and the unique value we bring.
I'd love to invite you to listen to Sarah Blondin's gorgeous voice before your next major proposal and pricing restructure. I'd love to hear what shifts in your body and mind.
Journal prompt: What would change in your business if you no longer needed to prove your worth?
In the hurriedness of today's world, we say yes before pausing to consider if it's a TRUE yes (guilty). And if we listen closely, our nervous system will tell us where we went wrong (loud and clear for me!).
I hope this creates just enough space for your next decision to come from worth, not deadlines.
Thinking of you, and your worth,
Katee
