Every woman has felt the quiet tension between what she knows she brings to the table and what she actually gets paid.

The post Are You Finally Ready To Charge What You’re Worth In 2026 with Markey Read appeared first on Kami Guildner.
One of the conversations I love having with my clients is about money, not just the numbers, but the energy behind how we show up in our relationship with it.
Why do so many brilliant, visionary women undercharge for their work? These are women creating transformation in lives and businesses, guiding breakthroughs, and leading change in their industries. They have deep levels of experience and wisdom. The impact they make is profound, yet their pricing sometimes does not reflect the true value of that work.
And why is there so much judgment attached? Judgment of ourselves when we raise our rates and judgment of others for what they charge. It is a dynamic men rarely experience, yet it shows up for women all the time.
This runs deeper than pricing. It is about old stories, cultural conditioning, and the beliefs that swirl around women and money. Those beliefs keep us from stepping into the fullness of our worth and owning the value we bring to the table.
It is time to shift that energy.
Money Is Energy, And So Are You
Let’s start with something that changes everything: money is energy. I have been teaching this for years because I learned it through my own money stories. In the 15-plus years I have been an entrepreneur, I have done a lot of money mindset work, and here is what I know: it never completely goes away. The relationship with money is something we keep deepening as we grow.
I often compare the energy of money to water. Water moves with ease. It follows soft lines and curves. It adapts, and in that softness, there is incredible strength. When I work with the energy of money in this way, it changes everything for me. It shifts me out of chasing and into trusting, creating space for money to flow toward my mission.
Recently, I heard Sandra Yancey, founder of eWomen Network, share something that added a beautiful layer to this conversation. She said, “The energy of money is feminine.” Interesting, right?
Feminine energy is magnetic, creative, and expansive. It does not chase, it invites. It does not force, it nurtures. When you align with that truth, money stops being something to hunt or hoard and becomes something you co-create with.
As Sandra also says, “Because money isn’t the mission. Your mission is the mission.” That lands deeply, doesn’t it? If you have ever felt drained by chasing revenue or obsessing over the next dollar milestone, you know that energy does not serve you. But when you center on your mission and impact, everything shifts. Your energy becomes expansive. Your presence becomes magnetic.
Money loves that energy. Money wants to be in motion. It wants to be of service to impact and legacy. It flows when it has a home… when your pricing, your business model, and your mindset are aligned to receive it.
The Judgment We Need to Release
While we are talking about energy and mission, there is a practical reality many women face: judgment.
When women speak up for their worth or raise their prices, the reaction often comes with side comments, skepticism, or outright criticism. We see it in ourselves too, questioning if we are “too expensive” or comparing our pricing to someone else’s.
This judgment, from others and sometimes from ourselves, is a relic of old systems. And it is costing us. Because undercharging does not just hurt your income. It limits your impact. It keeps you hustling harder for less return, which is the opposite of why you started your business.
When we price too low, we dilute the very thing that makes our work powerful. We attract misaligned clients. We stretch ourselves thin. We create businesses that feel heavy instead of businesses that feel like a joyful expression of our gifts.
The truth? Owning your value is not selfish. It is service. Because when you are resourced, you can sustain your work, amplify your message, and create a ripple effect that changes lives.
Money as a Partner: Practical and Energetic Alignment
Here is the both-and that shifts everything: money is energy, and money is math.
This is not about posting affirmations and hoping the money shows up, although mindset matters. It is about creating a structure that reflects the value you deliver. Here is how:
1. Audit Your Numbers
Know what it truly costs to run your business profitably. If you are guessing, you are likely undercharging.
2. Price for Profit, Not Survival
Build in room for growth, support, and your future vision. Charging “just enough” keeps you stuck in scarcity.
3. Anchor in Results, Not Hours
Clients are not buying your time. They are investing in outcomes. Speak to the results you create and the transformation you deliver.
When your pricing is grounded in strategy and infused with aligned energy, you are not hustling for scraps. You are building a business that sustains you and expands your impact.
The Practice of Receiving
This is not just about what you charge. It is about what you are willing to receive. Too often, we hold limiting stories like:
- “I only need enough to get by.”
- “I love what I do, so I do not need to earn more.”
Those stories shrink your capacity for abundance. They create a ceiling where there should be none.
Receiving is a practice. It is learning to expand your energy, express gratitude, and trust that money flowing to you is not just okay, it is necessary for the work you are here to do. Start with small daily practices:
- Celebrate every dollar that comes in.
- Speak affirmations that expand your receiving muscle: “I am open to creative possibilities for abundance in my business and life.”
- Ask for what you desire, boldly and unapologetically.
What About Markets Like We’re In Right Now?
When the market feels uncertain, the first instinct many entrepreneurs have is to lower prices or play small. But here’s what I know from experience: I started my business in the downturn of 2008, and it grew. My business thrived again in 2020 when the world was full of uncertainty. Why? Because people still invest in what they believe will deliver real value.
I see the same thing happening now. Many premium services are thriving because clients are more intentional than ever about where they invest. They are not looking for “cheap.” They are looking for trusted guides, meaningful results, and a clear return on their investment. They want confidence and clarity in uncertain times, and they will pay for that.
This is not the time to shrink your prices. It is the time to lean deeper into your mission, your expertise, and your presence. When you align your energy and clearly communicate the impact of your work, you become magnetic to the right clients, even in shifting markets. They are not buying the cheapest option; they are buying the outcomes they desire.
Energy + Mission + Money: Where It All Comes Together
Here is what I know: when women honor their worth, lead with mission, and align their energy, they change everything. They build businesses that sustain their lives, fuel their impact, and model a new paradigm for success, one rooted in both prosperity and purpose.
Because money is not the mission. Your mission is the mission. And when your value, energy, and mission meet, money flows as your ally, not your adversary.
A Call to Every Woman Reading This
Stop undercharging. Stop apologizing. Start owning the full brilliance of what you bring to the world. When you do, you are not just raising your income. You are raising the bar for what is possible for every woman who comes after you.
The world needs your work. It needs your voice. And it needs you resourced and ready to lead.
Here are a few ways to lead this shift:
- Own your worth unapologetically. Price your services in alignment with the value you deliver and the impact you create.
- Uplift women who are charging their worth. Celebrate them. Support them. Remove judgment from the conversation.
- Speak openly about money. The more we normalize the conversation, the more we dismantle the old narratives that keep women small.
- Lead with mission and confidence. When you hold your mission at the center, your energy becomes magnetic, even in uncertain times.
- Practice receiving. Expand your capacity to welcome abundance, not as a luxury, but as a necessity for the work you are called to do.
Are you tuned in to the frequency of wealth?

I am fortunate to get to speak to hundreds of women entrepreneurs every year, and I hear it time and time again. Women want to have businesses that not only generate prosperity for their lives and homes but also provide the time freedom to live a life built around what’s important to them. They want to do business differently.
If you’ve been tuning in to me at all over the past year, you’ve heard me speak about creating more time prosperity and wealth prosperity in your business. Today, I want to talk about what this means… what are the foundations that you need in your business to bring about more time prosperity and wealth prosperity, and what you need to do to set this up for your business.
But what do these terms really mean, and how can they transform our approach to business and life?
Understanding Time Prosperity
Time prosperity is about creating spaciousness in our schedules, allowing for big-picture thinking, downtime, and self-care. It’s the practice of ensuring that our lives are not constantly rushed, giving our nervous systems the chance to rest and rejuvenate. This slower, more deliberate pace enables us to transition smoothly between work and personal time, preventing burnout and promoting overall well-being.
In practical terms, time prosperity means setting boundaries, simplifying our business, saying no to non-essential tasks, and prioritizing what truly matters. It’s about designing our days with intention, carving out moments for reflection, creativity, and rest. This approach not only enhances our productivity but also enriches our personal lives, providing the balance we need to thrive.
Embracing Wealth Prosperity
Wealth prosperity goes beyond the traditional notion of financial success. While making money is important, wealth prosperity encompasses a broader, more holistic view of abundance. It involves enriching every aspect of our lives, from investing in meaningful experiences and nurturing relationships to prioritizing personal growth and self-discovery.
This type of prosperity allows us to create a life filled with joy, fulfillment, and freedom. It’s about having the resources and opportunities to pursue our passions, support our loved ones, and give back to our communities. Wealth prosperity encourages us to use our financial success as a tool to enhance our overall quality of life and make a positive impact in the world.
The Journey to Building a Prosperous Business
Building a business that supports both time and wealth prosperity is no easy feat. It requires time, patience, and, yes, hard work. I often speak with hundreds of women entrepreneurs each year, and a common theme emerges: success is not handed to us on a silver platter. It’s earned through dedication, resilience, and a willingness to navigate challenges.
The women I encounter in my community are living proof that we can do hard things. They’ve faced obstacles, celebrated victories, and continuously evolved their businesses.
As we navigate this exciting new era in business, I encourage you to reflect on what time and wealth prosperity mean for you. How can you create more space in your life for what truly matters? How can you use your financial resources to enrich your life and the lives of others?
Join me at the 10th Anniversary Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference, where we’ll delve deeper into these concepts and explore practical strategies to build businesses that embody time and wealth prosperity. This event is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded women, learn from inspiring leaders, and ignite your passion for making a difference.
Let’s embrace the power of time and wealth prosperity, and together, create a future where our businesses not only succeed but also support our well-being and joy.

I have a passion for building businesses with time prosperity and wealth prosperity. I’ve been helping my clients in my Soul+Strategy Mastermind create building block foundations that expand their capacity to scale their revenue, their impact, and their time. I love what’s happening in their businesses, and today I want to share how I’ve built this into my own business, and how my clients are following the same pathway.
It was messy to break some of the patterns of always doing, doing… and rushing between one task and another. I’d been rushing a good portion of my life. I had to find my way out of being a rushaholic.
So as my business shifted into more of a scalability model, I literally had to learn to slow down and be in this new space I had created for myself. I started to create space for morning rituals, and I got much better at creating boundaries for the energy of me, seeing only 1-2 clients in a week, in addition to my group programming. I made CEO and thought leadership space for me to create. I learned to breathe. I learned to recognize when I would start to fall back into old patterns… because I definitely could and did.
And in all of this journey, I grew more deeply as a CEO and as a human.
It became apparent to me that time prosperity is a mindset opportunity. We can step into time prosperity with intention.
And it is a choice opportunity. We get to choose how we move through our days, and the systems we set in place to allow for a more prosperous time. We get to choose how we set up our business, how we serve our clients, the boundaries we put in place, the tools we use to communicate with our clients and communities and teams… it’s all a choice, and if get intentional with our time, we can create the gift of time prosperity.
So let’s look at the other side of the prosperity coin – wealth prosperity. When I rewind back to the days when I was seeing 5 1:1 clients a day, and the choices I made at the time, to restructure how I serve my clients. I learned to build the right packaging and the right pricing. I learned to establish new ways to work with clients that were even more powerful than I could ever do in the only 1:1 work I was doing.
And with that came freedom in my business and exponential growth in my business, year-on-year. Through times when many entrepreneurial businesses were struggling, I was serving my clients, and growing my business in a sustainable way. And with that came the prosperous growth of my clients’ businesses. The new business models in my business helped my clients’ businesses grow exponentially as well.
The community served them in bigger ways. And with this comes the opportunity to invite more people into my business. The spiraling evolution of my business ignites the spiring evolution of my clients’ businesses, and this is the work we’re all being called to do. This is where wealth prosperity comes in – for both myself and my clients. It makes my heart so happy.
The way we free ourselves from those old patterns is to learn to slow down, to listen to our inner wisdom, to tune into our heart frequently, and to practice mindfulness and new ways of embodiment. This is the soul side of our work. It’s an important pillar in our businesses.
The way we free ourselves from the craziness we can create in our businesses is to get smart with how we build our businesses. This means choosing the right business models, the right packaging, and the right pricing – putting the foundations into place that allow us to scale from the very beginning of our businesses.
It means choosing how we create more white space in our businesses for our big-picture thinking and for creation. It means aligning with our vision of how we want to make a difference with our work and aligning with the clients we want to serve.
AND I recommend not doing this work alone, but rather, being in a community that helps us blossom and grow, and break out of the old patterns that can keep us stuck. When we work with soul, strategy and community, our full potential is unleashed. Because we have space in our lives to create… and a circle of support we take flight.
Join me at Extraordinary Women Prosper on May 24th, a 1-day business retreat!

I am a big fan of the work of the Women’s Foundation across our nation. I have sat on the trustee board and served the Colorado Women’s Foundation for over a decade. And while I am an honorary trustee now and no longer an active board member, I believe in its mission and vision more than ever. A future where Colorado women and girls of every background and identity prosper.
Some of the proudest professional moments of my life are sparked by my engagement with the Women’s Foundation of Colorado. The work the organization is making from philanthropic giving, meaningful research and essential advocacy work, to creating systematic changes in our state is near and dear to my heart.
As we wrap up this Women’s History Month, I’m excited to introduce you to Christina Gordon, a co-founder and CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Boston. When Christina reached out to me for an interview, I was an instant yes! She had come across research that had indicated that only 1.9% of all charitable giving in the US is directed toward nonprofits that serve women and girls and that investing in women is high-impact investing. The data shows that investing in women has a multiplier effect. Women reinvest 90% of their incomes in their families and their communities, creating positive economic returns across generations and throughout communities.
In This Episode:
- Christina talks about how they started the Women’s Foundation of Boston
- The massive underinvestment in women and girls domestically
- How they impacted thousands of Greater Boston women and girls
- Their mission on creating and funding economically empowering programming for Greater Boston women and girls
- She enumerated how they support women and girls
- Their focus of funding on programming that will really yield high salaries
- She shares one of the stories from an organization they funded that stands out for her
- Why investing in women has lifted up entire communities
Christina Gordon is a former assistant fund manager and technology industry equity analyst. Seeing a huge opportunity to make a difference in her community, she and her team joined together to start the Women’s Foundation of Boston. She is a trustee of a private foundation, a member of Women Moving Millions and currently sits on the board of Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women in Boston.
“Investing in women really is one of the strongest indicators for a successful economy.” ~Christina Gordon
