Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out podcast with Kelley. Today’s episode marks the conclusion of this week’s 3-part “Know Your Worth “series. Thank you so much for journeying with me. To recap, Jessie Behrman’s quote, “When you learn how much you’re worth, you’ll stop giving people discounts” was established as the anchor concept of this series. We’ve talked about how to align with your worth in the business /professional realm. Plus, we addressed ways to manage boundaries with friends and family. However, knowing your worth in relationships is especially important. So many times, we go into relationships/partnerships, unaware of our value.
Listen, if you don’t know your worth your true value, no one else is going to know it either. We often unintentionally project a vibe that we are for sale and at a cheap price.
When this happens, we tend to give discounts to people who truly are not worthy of us. Here is my question to you, who are you giving discounts to? Let’s talk about it.

Today I want to talk to you about opting into knowing your worth in business. I’m going to kick things off with a question, do you know how much you are worth? This episode is part one of a three-part series, all about helping you to align with your worth in the professional realm. There’s a quote that says, “When you learn how much you’re worth, you’ll stop giving people discounts”. I love this quote because it very accurately reflects what happens when a person truly knows their value. When they understand how precious you are, you’re more likely to protect, preserve, and honor who you are. So, join me on this short series as we talk about knowing our worth. Let’s talk about it.

Today I want to talk to you about ways to successfully build good habits. A sure way to opt-out of struggle in your life is to align with a pattern of positive behavior. Let’s be clear, it is not easy to set a new habit. In fact, it takes at least 18 days to establish new behavior as a habit. But, here’s the good news, if you are determined to release struggle from your life, you have to power to accomplish this goal. The science behind this actually tells us that when we create a behavior and then find ways to reinforce that behavior, it becomes something called a habit loop. Let’s talk about it.
