E140: This Can’t Be My Life: Natasha Deen on Raising Her Fee & Reclaiming Her Future.

In this episode, we’re speaking with Natasha Deen—a DC-area therapist specialized in working with Muslim daughters of immigrants—who went from “okay enough” to powerful, unapologetic fee ownership. 

Natasha joined LIMB thinking she might raise her fee. 

Instead, she transformed her mindset, boundaries, and belief in what’s possible—for her clients, her practice, and her life.

Natasha’s story is a masterclass in rejecting the slow death of small dreams.

In this episode, Natasha will share:

Why charging $170/session still left her dreaming of a life she couldn’t reach;

The wake-up call that came during Fee Week—and the boundary audit that followed;

How her father’s stroke redefined what really matters;

Why she stopped waiting for a partner, a raise, or “someday” to live the life she wanted;

The ripple effect raising her fee had on her practice, personal life, and vision for the future.
