Negotiation Nuances: The Power of Communication

In this episode, we cover:

• How to lock in clear price limits with hairstylists, plumbers and other contractors - so you never get surprised by unexpected add‑ons

• Why spelling out the real problem you need to solve (“I keep getting unexpected invoices”) and your intent (“I run a business and need full visibility”) makes pushback feel natural

• Tactful scripts for deflecting vague scope creep, communicating your budget, and keeping relationships positive

• The power of a simple “here’s why it matters to me” explanation to transform awkward interactions into win–wins
  

We also share:

• Gerta’s platinum hair adventure - and the upfront budget script that kept her stylist from veering into gray‑area pricing 

• A simple, one‑minute exercise for reconnecting with old friends you’ve lost touch with

Tune in for a mix of practical money‑savvy tactics and heart‑centered mindfulness, so you can pay what’s fair, avoid hidden fees, and reach back out to the people who matter.
