Do you know how guilty I feel closing client contracts that pay more for 3 months of part-time work than her annual income? 

Do you know how difficult it is, as a 25 year old, to wonder if I should pay off my business loan / husband’s student loans or help my mother afford to put food on the table?

Can you imagine the unbearable shame of thinking that we will be paying $15k in rent and agent fees alone for our first month in NYC in a few months while my family can’t afford childcare?
