Summary

I’ve seen too many women miss out on life-changing opportunities because they’re confusing entitlement with empowerment, and calling it a “rich girl mindset” when it’s actually broke girl energy in disguise. In this episode, I talk about how to spot when free opportunities are actually more valuable than a paycheck, how to know what’s truly worth your time, and how to build momentum in your “internship era.” I also share the stories behind the free speaking gigs and media features that didn’t pay me upfront, but ultimately made me millions. If you’re turning down stages, interviews, or visibility just because they don’t come with a check, you could be blocking the leverage your brand needs.

0:00.0	Why you get paid for everything is a broke girl energy. And you're not broke because you're
0:05.5	unpaid. You're broke because you don't see the value in what you're gaining by doing certain
0:09.4	free things. You have to understand the leverage and learn to recognize the opportunity.
0:14.7	And that is the real rich girl mindset.
0:23.4	Hey everyone.
0:24.3	Welcome back to the podcast.
0:25.6	It's time for another quick because there's always time to fit in inspiration.
0:29.5	And I am so fired up about a topic right now.
0:32.2	This is one of those topics where I'm like, well, they're either going to love this or
0:35.6	they're going to hate this.
0:36.8	But one thing that I'm

1:09.1	story. The other day I was scrolling and a
1:11.9	girl's post came up. It was like one of those posts that pop up on threads. I do not know this girl
1:15.6	from Adam. She seemed great, but she was very passionate about something that she had posted.
1:21.7	And it said, if you're having a women's empowerment event and you're not paying women,
1:25.2	you're disempowering women. And so I was like fair,
