Are you giving away your time, your energy, and your talents like it’s a clearance sale at the dollar store? Are you constantly over-delivering, undercharging, or bending over backward for people who don’t appreciate you?
In today’s episode, we’re drawing an unexpected yet powerful comparison between President Trump's Tariffs Strategy and your self-worth—because just like countries set tariffs to ensure fair trade, you need to set boundaries to ensure you’re valued.

Saying "no" without guiltAsking for what you're truly worthFeeling like you give more than you receive in relationships or workIf so, then this episode is your wake-up call to stop being taken advantage of and start commanding the respect, pay, and appreciation you deserve.
Trump's Tariff StrategyKevin Lowe breaks down the concept of tariffs—not in a political way, but as a powerful metaphor for self-worth. If you're constantly over-giving and under-receiving, it’s time to set boundaries that demand fairness in every aspect of your life.
Through a relatable childhood lunchbox trade analogy, Kevin makes it crystal clear why you need to stop giving away your energy for free. Whether it's work, friendships, or relationships, you’ll learn how to recognize your value and set the “tariffs” needed to protect it.
Some Key Takeaways:How to identify if you're undervaluing yourselfWhy setting boundaries is essential (and how to do it confidently)A simple 3-step action plan to start getting the respect and pay you deserve
