Alright bestie, let’s have a real moment about money, worth, and actually choosing yourself. Because tell me why we will drop cash on Target runs like we’re training for the Olympics, but the second something is actually good for our soul, we freeze up.
Here’s how I break it down.
Cost is just the number on the price tag. That part is simple. A boudoir session, a massage, therapy, the gym. Everything has a cost, and sometimes the number makes us inhale a little too sharp.
Worth is about you. It’s not the price. It’s the meaning. Are you worth pouring into? Are you worth feeling good and confident and connected to yourself? Yes. You already know that. We just get tangled up because we were taught to put everyone else first.
Value is what it gives back to you. It’s the long term shift. Boudoir isn’t just photos. It’s seeing yourself with fresh eyes. It’s walking out with your head higher. It’s that glow that follows you into your daily life. That’s the value. It sticks.
Here’s the shift we all need.
We justify spending money on things that disappear fast. Trendy clothes, dinner deliveries, the latte addiction that is honestly part of our personality at this point. But when it comes to something that actually builds us up, we hesitate. And a lot of that is guilt. We were taught that putting ourselves first is selfish.
But when you invest in yourself, the return hits different. You move through the world with more confidence. You make braver choices. You take up space without apologizing. You radiate. That is value. That is what lasts.
So next time you’re wondering if you’re worth the the cost of a boudoir photoshoot, ask yourself this instead:
Will this bring me joy?
Will this help me grow?
Will I still feel the impact long after the payment is done?
Because self care isn’t a splurge. It’s an investment that keeps giving. And you, bestie, are so worth it.
