Summary

This is an "Eff The Cubicle Friday" episode

Real talk—when you don’t charge, you train people to treat your work like it’s free and like they have access to you at any and all times.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what happened when I asked for support and got silence... and how I realized I helped create that pattern.

We’re talking about why so many Black women feel unseen in their businesses, and how to unlearn the guilt around getting paid for your care.

If you’ve been grinding with heart and getting crumbs in return, this one’s for you.
