You’ve done the work. You’ve earned the value. So why does asking for a raise feel so uncomfortable? In this episode, we unpack the emotional weight behind money, self-worth, and the fear of seeming “greedy.”
Through the lens of Buddhist teachings on Right Livelihood, generosity (dāna), and the Middle Way, we explore:
- Why money talk triggers shame or scarcity
- How to separate confidence from entitlement
- What it means to ask with clarity and integrity
If you're navigating the awkward dance between humility and self-advocacy, this episode will help you find your footing—with compassion and courage.
