Unpaid invoices are more than just a financial inconvenience. They’re a source of stress, frustration, and burnout for freelancers and creatives. In this inspiring episode of Building Her Dream, host Shayla Burtin sits down with Grace Tabib, founder of Dupay, to talk about her mission to make sure creators get paid for the work they’ve done.
Grace, a lawyer and women’s rights advocate turned entrepreneur, saw a problem in the rising creator economy: too many people weren’t getting paid for small jobs, and they felt like they had no recourse. Traditional options like collections agencies or hiring a lawyer were too expensive or intimidating. So Grace built a new solution: Dupay, an affordable $19/month subscription service that helps freelancers and entrepreneurs recover unpaid invoices through personalized outreach and strategic follow-ups.
With nearly an 80% success rate, Dupay is helping people around the world reclaim their income, peace of mind, and confidence. From recovering a $70 invoice to collecting $10,000, Grace believes that every dollar and every hour of work matters.
Throughout the episode, Grace and Shayla also reflect on what it means to build a life that values rest, purpose, and meaningful work especially for introverts navigating entrepreneurship. Grace shares how she’s learned to celebrate daily wins, move at a sustainable pace, and protect her energy while building something impactful.
