Advocate for Your Worth — But Don’t Let Money Define It

Erin Owen · November 24, 2025 ·

Money matters — but it’s not all that matters.

As an executive career coach, I fully believe in helping professionals advocate for their full market value, negotiate compensation, and confidently pursue bonuses or raises.

This is part of owning your voice and worth.

But here’s the truth: when money becomes the only goal, it can cloud the bigger picture.

  1. I’ve seen executives take high-paying roles that drained their energy and derailed their long-term vision.
  2. I’ve watched talented leaders stay in misaligned roles out of financial fear — only to burn out completely.
  3. I’ve seen leaders get the raise — but feel more stuck.
  4. I’ve seen people turn down aligned opportunities because the paycheck didn’t match ego expectations.

Remember that money is not the only metric of a successful career.  🫶 🫶 🫶

🔎 Reflection for the week: Ask yourself…

Are you chasing a number, or a life aligned with your values?

Let money work for your vision — not define it. 💸 💸 💸

If you’re ready to advocate for your value, without losing sight of what really matters, let’s work through it together.  📩DM me or click here
