Codeswitching doesn't stop when you quit your job. It follows you. It shows up in the content you water down before you post it, the offers you soften before you launch them, the opportunities you don't even apply for because you're already convinced the answer is no. And because it feels normal (and like the right thing to do) you don't even question it.

In this episode, Mel breaks down 3 real costs of performing in your business and how they are keeping you underpaid in a business you built yourself.

If you've been building a business that looks like you but doesn't quite feel like you, this episode is going to name exactly why.
