Are You Finally Ready To Charge What You’re Worth In 2026 with Markey Read

Every woman has felt the quiet tension between what she knows she brings to the table and what she actually gets paid.

Today, Kami Guildner and Markey Read talk about what it really means to be paid what you’re worth, why so many women hesitate to claim their value, and how pricing decisions ripple far beyond our bank accounts into our confidence, families, and communities. This is a rich, honest conversation about worth, courage, and choosing to take your seat at the table fully and unapologetically.

In This Episode:

• Why so many accomplished women underprice their expertise, and what actually shifts this
• How to factor decades of lived experience, education, and results into your pricing
• Why “industry standard” pricing is a trap and what matters more for a thriving business
• The real cost of discounting yourself financially and energetically
• How strengths and leadership style influence the offers you create and the work you are built to lead
• Why niching deeper often leads to more revenue, more joy, and better clients
• What it looks like to build a business that pays you properly for the value you create
