This Mother Means Business: Strategy, Advice, and Support for Mom Entrepreneurs

How to Raise Your Rates and How to Know When Is The Right Time

Are you charging what you're truly worth? Or are you stuck in a cycle of undercharging, over-delivering, and feeling completely drained? In this episode of This Mother Means Business, I’m diving deep into the hidden costs of underpricing your services—and why raising your rates is essential for the longevity of your business.

We’ll tackle the mindset blocks that hold so many entrepreneurs back, like the fear of losing clients, the guilt of charging more, and the belief that being “affordable” makes you more competitive. Spoiler alert: being the cheapest is a race to the bottom! Plus, I’ll walk you through practical steps to confidently price your offers, communicate your value, and make sure your pricing reflects both your expertise and the true worth of your work.
