The Distracted Dreamer
Get ready to confidently and unapologetically go after dreams! Welcome to The Distracted Dreamer Podcast.
Today is the day you’re going to pull your dreams off the shelf and bring them to the forefront of your life. You are never too tired, too busy, too old, too young, too anything to pursue your dreams.
Imagine… the joy and excitement of doing what lights you up. Your dreams are yours. No one gets to take them from you and no one gets to chase them - except you. Your dreams are there to guide you, to inspire you and to show you that yes, there is something more in store for you.
You see, the size of your dreams don’t matter - it could be running a marathon, reading a book series, perfecting that family recipe, traveling the world, or learning to dance.
I’m Carlene Bauwens, entrepreneur, Life Coach and now host of The Distracted Dreamer podcast. I’m here to show you how to kick distraction to the curb and grab hold of your dreams. Your happiness matters. You have a big, beautiful, amazing life to live. And you've only got one of them. Welcome to the Distracted Dreamer Podcast.

#32: It's Time to Charge What You're Worth: A Money Mindset Reset for Dreamers
If you’ve ever whispered, “Who am I to charge for this?” or felt weird about putting a price on your work — this episode is for you.
For so many of us creative dreamers — whether you’re offering personal services like coaching, selling a product you dreamed up, or sharing art you’ve poured your heart into — charging can feel deeply personal.
In this honest conversation, we’re diving into self-worth, pricing, and the hidden fears that keep so many creatives undercharging. We’ll also explore why underpricing your work isn’t sustainable — not for your business, and definitely not for your dream.
I’m sharing the six mindset shifts that completely transformed how I view charging for my time, my talent, and the transformation I offer.
Learning to sell with heart and price with confidence is one of the most empowering things you can do — for yourself and your dream.
If you're ready to shift from self-doubt to self-trust in your business journey, this episode will give you the tools (and encouragement) to charge what you're truly worth.
Let’s do this together.
HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
1️⃣ You're Not Just Charging for Time—You're Offering a Transformation
Pricing isn’t about how many hours something takes you. It’s about the impact your work has. Whether you’re coaching someone through a breakthrough, styling them with confidence, or creating art that moves them—transformation is what people value.
2️⃣ Undercharging Isn’t Humble—It’s Unsustainable
Doing everything for free might feel generous, but it leads to burnout and resentment. When people don’t pay, they don’t pay attention. Charging honors both your energy and your client’s commitment to change.
3️⃣ Confidence Comes From Clarity—Not Certifications
You don’t need more letters after your name to start charging. What your audience really wants is someone who understands their struggle and can lead them through it. Your experience and insight are already valuable—own them.
