EP 4. You Don’t Need to Be Productive to Deserve Wealth: Healing Burnout, Rebuilding Self-Worth & Negotiating from Worthiness
In this reflective, deeply empowering episode, Evie shares the story of how taking a full year away from engineering helped her dismantle toxic productivity beliefs, heal generational trauma, and rebuild her self-worth — all of which ultimately led to negotiating a $27K salary increase, a $15K sign-on bonus, and a job aligned with her values.
Evie discusses quitting her engineering role in 2021, navigating burnout from the pandemic, building two businesses, unpacking childhood trauma, and redefining her identity outside of productivity. She opens up about reclaiming her boundaries, raising her salary standards, and learning to say no to misaligned job offers — even after a full year off work.
This episode is a powerful reminder that your worth is not measured by your output. You do not need to prove anything through overworking, perfectionism, or constant achievement. Worthiness is inherent — and when you believe that, negotiating becomes an act of self-respect rather than fear.
