319: The Invisible Tax of Playing Small with Camryn Clair

What is playing small actually costing you?

Not just in money, but in visibility, opportunities, confidence, connection, and the version of yourself you haven't fully allowed the world to see yet?

In this episode, Danielle sits down with Get PAIED client Camryn Clair, a photographer, creative director, and brand strategist whose work centers around one powerful idea: giving women permission to be seen. Camryn photographs more than 100 women a year through portrait, boudoir, equine, and branding work, helping them step in front of the camera as one version of themselves and leave more connected to the woman they've been becoming.

But Camryn's own journey required her to recognize where she had been doing the exact opposite: hiding, underselling, over-serving, and questioning whether she could fully own the value of her work.

Danielle and Camryn unpack the invisible tax of playing small and the moment Camryn was faced with a decision that challenged her existing standard. After questioning whether she could send a $22,000 proposal, she leaned into the work she had been doing inside Get PAIED, gave herself permission to ask for more, activated courage, and ultimately sent the proposal for double what she had originally planned.

That decision became part of a $58,000 week and an entirely new standard for what Camryn knew she could receive.
