Remember so many of us got into the field, at least in part, because we're working through our own stuff. 

03:17
"We got in this field to help people not to get rich." Those two things are not mutually exclusive. We can be helping people and living a good life.

“If you charge X amount of money, you're greedy, you're a bad person." If I can help you to set your rate based on math, based on a super simple formula, I think it's easy to come back to those folks who are casting judgment.

06:07
"Well, if you can charge that rate successfully and I am not being able to charge that rate successfully, then something is either wrong with you or something's wrong with me." And most people don't want to believe that something's wrong with them.

Important to not expect other people to have healthy reactions to your healthy boundaries when they've not done their own work

07:36
“That's not ethical, that's not legal." I have read through all of our professional ethics, every one of our professions. There is not one thing in there that says what your rates need to be. The closest at the time of this recording is in the Social Work Code of Ethics where it talks about being aware of the financial limitations of your clients.

We have the freedom to get licensed anywhere, you might even be in a compact state where it's super easy to be able to practice in other states. Or you might get your Florida telehealth registration certificate.

“We got in this field to help people not to make money." 

12:57
"That's not ethical." 

13:21
“That's taking advantage of people." 

15:19
"I couldn't pay that so it's not fair for me to charge it." 

16:17
"I think you're crappy for charging that." 

16:46
"I would never charge that." 

17:05
"I want to be accessible." We can create accessibility in a lot of ways.
