What if underearning isn’t just about the dollars in your bank account; it's about what those dollars—or the lack of them—represent? Yeah, not having enough to meet your needs sucks, but what if the deeper issue is what’s going on under the surface: this nagging, quiet refusal to step into your full potential? What if underearning is like turning off the light in your life, not just in terms of what you achieve but how fully you show up as you are? It could be that it's not just about under-earning or underachieving; it's about under-living. What if you’re capable of so much more, but something holds you back—fear, self-doubt, perfectionism, or maybe just the habit of playing it safe? And what if this isn’t about money for money’s sake? It’s about what money means—how much you value yourself and what you have to offer. Because at its core, underearning isn’t just about what you’re getting—it’s about what you’re giving. How much of your unique skills, talents, and badassery are you bringing to the table? If you’re holding back and underselling yourself—whether that’s in your career, your relationships, or your creativity—you’re not just shortchanging your bank account; you’re shortchanging your life. So, yeah, underearning is about money. But more than that, it’s about how much of yourself you’re willing to bring into the world and whether you believe that’s worth something. Spoiler: it is.
