Summary

Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out Podcast with Kelley. Today I want to talk to you about opting into knowing your worth in business. I’m going to kick things off with a question, do you know how much you are worth? This episode is part one of a three-part series, all about helping you to align with your worth in the professional realm. There's a quote that says, “When you learn how much you're worth, you'll stop giving people discounts”. I love this quote because it very accurately reflects what happens when a person truly knows their value. When they understand how precious you are, you're more likely to protect, preserve, and honor who you are. So, join me on this short series as we talk about knowing our worth. Let’s talk about it.
