This episode is unlike anything Tiffany has ever done on The Money Sessions.

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
