Linda breaks down her core idea that there are actually three money conversations happening at once: The one between you and you—your beliefs, fears, and stories about money and worth. The one between you and your client—how you talk about value, pricing, and results. The one between you and your business—what your bank account and workload are trying to tell you. Drawing on her own journey from undercharging and wobbling through pricing talks to running a successful remote accounting business, Linda shares how creating simple processes and shifting from hourly billing to value-based services changed everything. She and Jed swap stories about imposter feelings, learning to receive compliments and fair pay, and how upbringing and gender expectations can quietly shape our sense of worth. Linda also speaks directly to authors and creatives, reminding them that publishing a book makes them the CEO of a small business. She encourages writers to lean into their “why”, talk passionately about who their work is for, and let that authentic enthusiasm become their most powerful sales tool. Listeners will come away with encouragement, language, and mindset shifts to start their own money conversations—with themselves, their clients, and their business.
