Charge What You’re Worth: Building Confidence in Your Pricing

Freelance Fitness is your weekly 10-minute movement break designed for creative freelancers, voice actors, designers, writers, editors, and anyone who spends their days creating, producing, and problem-solving. Hosted by freelance voiceover artist and former fitness instructor Alison Pentecost, each episode blends mindset coaching, creative productivity, and simple exercises you can do anywhere.

Today, I'm talking about something that can make even the most talented freelancers feel a little uncomfortable, myself included — setting rates that reflect your real value. One of the hardest parts of freelancing is figuring out how much to charge for your work. Why do so many creative freelancers feel guilty about asking for fair pay? How can we justify our worth to clients when cheaper options abound online? Should we worry that we'll scare them off?
