Took me 3 years to realize I was underselling my digital prints

I used to price my art prints at $15 each because that's what I saw other people doing on Etsy. Last month a friend who runs a gallery said my stuff was way too cheap and I was basically devaluing my own work. She showed me her pricing formula based on hours spent and materials and I was shook. I doubled my prices overnight and actually sold more at $30 than I did at $15. Anyone else have that moment where you realize you were your own worst enemy with pricing?

Honestly, is it really that serious though?

Man, I've been following this thread from the start and I really feel for everyone going through it. My buddy Dave had the exact same thing happen at his job last year, and it wrecked him for months. We all just sat there watching it unfold, and nobody really knew what to say. It's not just about whatever happened, it's about the way people treat each other when things get tough. Sometimes it really is that serious when it chips away at your trust or your sense of safety. I hope you're doing okay, seriously.
