The Peaceful Creatives Podcast
Eight Lessons for Eight Years in Business

A business that I never thought I could make work and especially didn't think it would be in the amazing position it is today. Listen to me chat about the biggest lesson I learned in every year of running my business and I'd love to hear yours too!
As you'll have heard, next week I'm running a free workshop - How I Book Design Clients 4-6 Months in Advance and I'd love to see you there! Use the link below to sign up and you'll get a link closer to the time :)

74. Why Undercharging is Stealing Your Peace
25:06||Ep. 74In this episode, I’m diving into a conversation about pricing, but not in the way you might expect. This isn’t just about making more money.
