For whatever reason, when asked a direct question, I naturally respond with a direct answer. Your approach is not evading the question - it's to better answer it. Thanks for my "light bulb" moment.

I've charged for my time for most of my career and your advice is spot on. I've found that if someone persists in asking about price early in a meeting, they are not a good potential client for me so I tell them and move on. Keep up the good work Mikelann. Great guidance.

As a Jungian therapist & play consultant I have worked with many psychotherapists, nurses, social workers, and clients both individually and in groups who are not taking care of their own needs physically, spiritually, and financially at the detriment of their own health. Underlying this lack of Self-care is a discomfort with the unknown and unease with exploring territories yet untapped. What do I deserve to earn as a psychotherapist, consultant, and writer? After all, my work is about play and helping people--shouldn't that be enough? The question of what I and other women who are helping professionals, business professionals, and artists deserve to earn has led me to the creation of a new Play=Peace project entitled, Women's Money Stories. I am currently interviewing women about their money stories and will be creating an anthology of those stories. I am leading Women Who Walk, Stop, and Run with $$ groups and am speaking about and performing my own money story. I am passionate about helping women explore their own stories about money as a teacher, psychotherapist, mother, and grandmother. I so apppreciate what you offer Mikelann. Pleas let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Play=Peace, Mary Alice Thank you Mikelann,
