When generosity turns into exhaustion, it’s time to face the truth: you can’t build a business by giving everything away.
In this heartfelt fiction episode, one woman discovers that “helping” friends for free was keeping her stuck in survival mode. As she learns to value her time, charge what she’s worth, and step into her power, her business finally begins to flourish.
If you’ve ever felt guilty about pricing, struggled with boundaries, or wondered if your dream was worth pursuing, this story will remind you that your gifts are valuable, so are you.
