Have you ever walked into a money conversation knowing what you wanted to ask for, then heard yourself ask for less?

Maybe it was a salary conversation. Maybe it was a fee. Maybe it was a proposal, a scope change, a promotion conversation, or that “quick extra thing” that quietly became part of the job.

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle Ryan explores one of the most expensive patterns many intelligent women carry: making the ask smaller before anyone else has even responded.

This is not about becoming pushy, arrogant or demanding. It is about learning to stay with yourself when money, value, visibility and courage are on the table.

Because making more money is not only about market rates, pricing, salary bands or negotiation strategy. It is also about the woman making the ask.

Can she say the number she actually wants?

Can she let someone consider it without rescuing them?

Can she stop making the money conversation easier for everyone except herself?

If you have ever softened a fee, reduced a salary request, added more for free, or said “I’m flexible” before anyone asked you to be, this episode will speak directly to you.

You will also hear a practical tool you can use before your next money conversation, so you can prepare not only the numbers, but yourself to hold them.
