    Everything you do has value

    In this episode of the UIBuzz podcast, I delve into the important topic of valuing your time. I discuss why it's essential to recognize the worth of your time and the fine line between offering services for free and charging a monetary value for your efforts. I give practical advice on handling changing circumstances, especially when transitioning from offering free to paid services, and stress the importance of not feeling guilty about charging for your work. I encourage listeners to reflect on what their time is worth and to find a balance that works for them. I emphasize the need not to feel bad about charging for your services if your situation changes and you can no longer offer them for free. Thank you for tuning in!
