Just shattered the glass ceiling and got a huge promotion and raise, but I feel somewhat ashamed of it? Has anyone else experienced this?

As the title suggests, I was just offered a promotion and a BIG ASS raise today. I’m literally in shock that someone thinks I deserve $89k as a base salary. I grew up pretty poor, working class family in a bad neighborhood. I put myself through college, all of my student loans are in my own name, and I’ve been financially independent since I was 16 and old enough to work. I’ve worked my ass off and think I absolutely deserve this promotion, but because of the way I grew up I’m really nervous to tell my mom how much money I’ll be earning. As pumped as I am, I feel really uncomfortable because money has always been something to be ashamed of or an awkward situation for me.

I’m 28, a female, and I just broke that fucking glass ceiling. I want to scream it from the roof tops but I can’t get past feeling ashamed for some reason.

Can anyone else relate?

TLDR- offered a big ass salary increase and promotion. I’m stoked, but also kind of uncomfortable about it because of how I grew up. Anyone have tips for getting past this?
