On this episode of Waking up to Money we were joined by Nicola Forristal, a People Talent specialist.

She has a service that weaves the threads of her corporate career as a People & Talent professional, her therapeutic career and her passion for energy psychology and medicine into a programme that will support and help people languishing in the workplace.

Given the current situation where employees are being invited to come back to work she believes employers could make this transition more energising and less scary by focussing on their wellbeing.

She has developed workshops to address this specific issue as well as ongoing wellbeing needs but is trying to work out how best to price these offerings.

With the support of Ben Johnson we explore how she can go about tackling this challenge and offer strategies for her to price that is powerful, authentic and allows everyone to share in the value.


For freelancers and founders who believe their work has genuine purpose, the conversation around money can feel like the most awkward part of the job. The Happy Pricing Podcast, from The Happy Startup School, steps directly into that discomfort. It operates from a simple, radical premise: pricing shouldn't be a silent calculation of fear or greed, but a clear, confident dialogue about shared value. This isn't about racing to the bottom to please clients or inflating rates to exploit them. Instead, each episode focuses on building the practical capability to have those necessary, often avoided, financial conversations. You'll hear real strategies for articulating your worth in a way that feels authentic, ensuring the exchange is equitable and that you are properly compensated for the impact you create. The discussions move beyond theory into the nuanced reality of running a purpose-driven business, exploring how to structure fees, negotiate with clarity, and ultimately create arrangements where both you and your clients feel good about the investment. Tuning into this podcast means re-framing pricing from a transactional headache into a core component of your professional integrity and happiness. It's for those ready to move past anxiety and into a practice where everyone truly shares in the value being delivered.
