A week before recording an entire season of the podcast, Tiffany received a winding, honest email from a therapist named Maggie. Maggie was already charging $250 per session. She had a full practice. On paper, everything looked "successful." And yet… something wasn't right. Instead of booking a private consult, Maggie made a bold proposal: What if we recorded the conversation — live — and let listeners hear the decision-making process in real time? Tiffany said yes. What follows is a raw, unscripted, fly-on-the-wall conversation where nothing is polished and nothing is hidden. You'll hear Tiffany think out loud, name unconscious dynamics, challenge money stories, and explore what Life First Fee really means — even (especially) for therapists who "already charge a lot." This episode is part money work, part psychoanalytic process, and part mirror. If you've ever wondered: "Is it enough to just raise my fee?" "Why do I still feel anxious even though I'm doing well?" "What if something is still off — even when the numbers look good?" …this episode is for you. In this episode, Maggie and Tiffany explore: Why charging $250/session doesn't automatically mean you're living your Life First Fee The difference between saying your fee and actually committing to it What happens when a practice looks ideal on paper but feels unsustainable in the body The hidden cost of seeing 18–20 clients a week — even at high rates How "being busy" can keep you from facing deeper questions about desire and ease Why Maggie's nervous system — not her spreadsheet — was sounding the alarm The unconscious stories therapists tell themselves about worth, entitlement, and greed How many therapists are closer than they think… but still not in reality What it really looks like when 100% of your caseload pays your Life First Fee   Resources mentioned: LIMB Academy Fun With Fees Calculator
