Summary

Have you ever found yourself on your abundance journey—doing the inner work, healing your relationship with money, and leaning into prosperity—only to feel pulled back into scarcity because the people around you aren’t on the same path?

If so, you’re not alone. This episode of Plenty was inspired by a listener who asked: “What do I do when my family, friends, or community are still operating in lack, while I’m working so hard to step into abundance?”

I know how challenging it can feel when the people you love aren’t aligned with your vision of “more than enough.” That’s why in this episode, I share three powerful practices to help you protect your energy, stand firmly in your truth, and continue expanding into abundance—without cutting people out of your life or downplaying your growth.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why who you spend time with deeply impacts your prosperity (and how to gently shift your circles if needed)
✨ How to recognize and release the “belonging tax”—that tendency to downplay your success so you don’t outshine loved ones
✨ Why your expansion isn’t selfish, but instead makes space for others to rise
✨ How to lovingly hold boundaries when others project scarcity onto you

This conversation is about more than money—it’s about honoring your own path while inviting others into their own growth, in their own timing. You’ll walk away with tools to stay rooted in abundance while still being in relationship with those you care about. 💛

“When we expand—whether it’s in our healing, our earning, or our education—we’re not leaving people behind. We’re changing things for our entire lineage.” –Kate Northrup

1:14.6

Quite frankly, a lot of the same wisdom applies, but there's, you know, there's some nuance here.

1:20.6

So I thought we'd answer this question to.

1:22.6

So number one, you really want to think about energy management and the hidden cost of scarcity by

1:32.3

proximity. So the data really shows us that who we spend time with dramatically impacts

1:40.2

our health, our well-being, our mental health, our levels of happiness, and yes, also our income.

1:49.1

It's actually true. You know, I'm sure you've heard people say your income will be the average

1:54.9

of the five people you spend the most time with. I don't know if the data is updated on that. But what we do know is that overall,
