Description

You know that weird knot in your stomach when you hit send on a quote or invoice? The one that makes you second-guess everything from your pricing to your worth? Yeah — that’s not a confidence issue. It’s a brain issue.

In this episode, Gráinne's digging into what’s really going on when pricing feels uncomfortable — and why undercharging isn’t a sign you’re “bad at business,” but a totally human, totally rewritable response to risk, rejection, and perceived value.

Gráinne unpacks why your nervous system can freak out around money talk, how your empathy might be getting weaponised, and the real reason those “I can’t afford it” emails hit so hard. Plus, three simple, science-backed shifts to help you charge more (without the guilt spiral).

You’ll hear about:
  • What pricing activates in your brain — and how to calm the reaction
  • Why generosity is great, but self-erasure isn’t
  • Three practical mindset rewires you can try this week (no sticky-note mantras required)
If you’ve ever dropped your rates mid-email or agreed to a price that made your chest tighten — this one’s for you.
