Summary
What if your partner’s scarcity paradigm wasn’t a problem, but instead an opportunity for growth? How can you maintain your abundant consciousness while navigating the challenges of differing perspectives?
In this solo episode of Plenty, I dive into a question I hear often—how do you stay in an abundance when your partner is in scarcity? I share practical, compassionate strategies to navigate this dynamic while honoring your own financial growth. We’ll explore how to understand your partner’s money story, recognize generational patterns, and extend an invitation to abundance from a place of approval rather than frustration. I’ll also guide you on taking full responsibility for your abundance, so your progress isn’t dependent on anyone else. Remember, real change comes from inspiration, not force—so let’s explore how to create harmony while staying grounded in your own financial empowerment. Plus, I’m sharing a free Money Breakthrough guide to support you on your journey!

| 0:00.0 | Do people change? Absolutely. Can you change them? No. The only way you might be able to inspire |
| 0:07.9 | change in another human being, be it a family, a friend, your romantic partner, your child is through |
| 0:14.8 | modeling. Welcome to Plenty. I'm your host, Kate Northrop, and together we are going on a journey |
| 0:23.2 | to help you have an incredible relationship with money, time, and energy, and to have |
| 0:30.9 | abundance on every possible level. Every week, we're going to dive in with experts and insights to help you unlock a life |
| 0:40.9 | of plenty. Let's go fill our cups. I get some version of the following question all the time. |
| 0:48.8 | And that is, what do I do if I'm like all committed to this abundance stuff and I'm in expansion and I believe |
| 0:59.4 | in the energy of money and I'm really committed to expanding in this way, except that I'm partnered |

| 1:48.9 | or how pressure creates a diamond. So there can be absolutely beautiful things that come from |
| 1:56.2 | pressure, friction, irritation, and that opposite. |
| 2:02.7 | I will also say that I think that we can all teach each other things. |
| 2:07.2 | And sometimes when we are partnered with someone who's more grounded in the tangible, |
| 2:13.5 | what we can see and feel, when we are more into the intangible 5D reality of manifestation or |
| 2:22.0 | energy, actually it can be beautifully grounding for us if we would allow ourselves to receive |
| 2:29.8 | the medicine that our partner is bringing. |
| 2:32.7 | So first up, what I would say is that in general, |
