161. We Made $2M When Everyone Said Online Courses Were Dead — And It's Because We Did the Opposite of What Everyone Else Did

Are online courses actually dead? Or are most people simply building them in ways that no longer work? In this solo episode, Kate pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes numbers, strategy, emotional reality, and nervous system dynamics of her latest Relaxed Money launch—which crossed the $2 million mark at a time when many online business owners are panicking about the future of digital education. But this episode is about far more than launch metrics. Kate shares the real emotional experience of navigating fear, pressure, uncertainty, and expansion while leading a multi-seven-figure launch in a rapidly changing online landscape. She opens up about the nervous system spiral she experienced when early registration numbers came in lower than expected, and how using the exact tools taught inside Relaxed Money helped her regulate, recalibrate, and ultimately make clearer strategic decisions. She also walks through the specific shifts that dramatically improved their results, including simplifying messaging, prioritizing human connection over automation, strengthening affiliate partnerships, improving retention, and creating higher-quality experiences for students instead of chasing bigger audience numbers. Along the way, Kate explores why recurring customers matter more than vanity metrics, why over-delivering free content can actually hurt conversions, and why building a freedom-based business requires structure, boundaries, and enough spaciousness to sustain creativity and service long term. This episode is part launch debrief, part business masterclass, and part emotional transparency around what it actually takes to build sustainable success online today. If you’re an entrepreneur, coach, course creator, or anyone trying to create meaningful work in an increasingly automated world, this conversation will completely change the way you think about growth, connection, and freedom. “The more structure you have in your business, the more freedom you will have in your life.” — Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Online Courses Are Dead?

160. She Built a $100M Freedom-Based Business and Realized Outer Freedom Was Only Half the Story with Natalie Ellis

What if success isn’t actually freedom? And what if the business you built to give you more life slowly became the thing consuming it? In this deeply honest conversation, Kate sits down with entrepreneur, author, and BossBabe founder Natalie Ellis to talk about ambition, motherhood, nervous system healing, identity, and what it really means to build a freedom-based business. Natalie opens up about the hidden cost of chasing external validation, the pressure of maintaining a personal brand, and the surprising realization that even after “making it,” she still found herself craving permission to feel chosen. She shares how becoming a mother reshaped her relationship with ambition, success, and even her own identity—and why she no longer believes in building a business that demands everything from the person behind it. Together, Kate and Natalie explore the tension so many ambitious women feel between growth and presence, career and motherhood, expansion and enoughness. They talk about the emotional reality of entrepreneurship, the influence of social media on our desires, and the subtle ways status and validation can quietly become the thing running the show. Natalie also shares the behind-the-scenes story of stepping away from BossBabe, buying the company back, and rebuilding it in a way that aligned with the actual life she wanted to live. The conversation moves into nervous system regulation, healing from chaos and functional freeze, navigating marriage and partnership while building a company, and learning how to create success without abandoning yourself in the process. This episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is not just financial. It’s emotional. It’s relational. It’s nervous system deep. And ultimately, it comes from building a life and business that genuinely supports the person you are—not just the image you project to the world. “A freedom-based business is a lifestyle business that is a vehicle to the lifestyle you want to live.” — Natalie Ellis🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Freedom-Based Business + Redefining Success 04:09 The Pressure of Building a Personal Brand 07:30 Realizing Outer Freedom Wasn’t Enough 10:37 Motherhood, Identity Shifts & Partnership 11:53 Women, Ambition & Work-Life Balance 27:52 Growing Up Feeling Different + Chasing Success 36:11 Nervous System Healing + Functional Freeze 40:00 Rebuilding Success from a More Aligned Model 44:42 Relationships, Vulnerability & Emotional Safety 52:00 Final Reflections + Freedom Beyond Money Links and Resources:Kate's Instagram Recalibration Field Guide Connect with Natalie Ellis:Boss Babe Website Freedom-based Business Book Facebook Instagram Facebook✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

159. We Spent Nearly as Much Renovating It as We Paid For It - The Full Financial Breakdown of Our Maine Airbnb with Mike Watts

What if an investment could be both financially irrational… and deeply worth it? In this episode, Mike Watts returns to Plenty for part two of our behind-the-scenes Airbnb series, where we pull back the curtain on the actual numbers behind our Maine short-term rental project. And yes — technically, we’re currently underwater on it. But this conversation isn’t just about profit margins or renovation budgets. It’s about the bigger picture of building freedom-based wealth, creating long-term assets, and making financial decisions that align with your values, your family, and the life you actually want to live. Mike shares exactly what we paid for the property, how much we spent on renovations, what surprised us most during the process, and the lessons we’ve already learned that we’ll absolutely apply differently next time.

158. The Truth About Receiving: Money, Vulnerability & Self-Worth with Suzy Ashworth

What if the thing keeping you from receiving more money, love, or support isn't strategy — but how safe it feels to open your heart? And what if worthiness isn't something you earn… but something you decide? In this episode, I sit down with Suzy Ashworth for a conversation about receiving — money, love, visibility, support — and the courage it takes to stay openhearted in a world that can feel painful at times. Suzy shares the winding path from creating the world's first online hypnobirthing program to becoming a leader in the conversation around abundance, audacity, and infinite receiving. We move through identity, motherhood, business evolution, relationships, body-based safety, and the vulnerable process of letting ourselves be fully seen. What stays with me about Suzy is her willingness to speak honestly about both her gifts and her growth edges. This conversation moves from business and money into heartbreak, self-worth, intimacy, race, and parenting — woven through the lifelong work of opening more fully. We also explore something many women quietly carry: the tension between wanting more and feeling safe enough to receive it. Because receiving isn't only about money. It's about visibility. Pleasure. Support. Love. Being willing to take up space. Being willing to believe you're worthy before external proof arrives. Suzy shares how she rewired her body to believe in outcomes before they happened — from becoming a bestselling author to building an eight-figure business — and how worthiness became less about waiting to feel ready and more about making a decision. This conversation is expansive, honest, funny, and tender. There may be something here for anyone who's been holding back from what they truly desire because receiving it feels vulnerable. “In order to be able to receive infinitely, you have to be willing to go all in.” –Suzy Ashworth🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:32 Susie Ashworth: Background & Achievements 01:23 Episode Themes: Vulnerability, Receiving, Love & Money 03:52 Hypnobirthing & Building the Calm Birth School 07:12 Personal Life, Motherhood & Identity Shift 15:42 Audacity, Authenticity & Self-Expression 22:23 Race, Foster Upbringing & Navigating BLM 26:51 Healing Work & Opening the Heart 36:32 Receiving Money, Worthiness & Keeping Wealth 42:14 Quantum Transformation Method: Coaching Framework 47:03 Desires, Love & Future Intentions 51:42 Resources, Call to Action & Closing Links and Resources:Unlocking Financial Abundance with Hypnotherapy with Grace Smith (050) The Calm Birth School  Connect with Suzy Ashworth:Website Podcast Instagram Facebook Infinite Receiving Free Book Quantum Transformation Method ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

157. How We Launched Our First Airbnb for Tax Savings, Passive Income & Long-Term Wealth

What if building a new stream of income didn't require perfection — just a willingness to learn as you go? And what might open up if you let yourself experiment with money in a way that feels creative instead of rigid? In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes with Mike as we share the real story of launching our first short-term rental property — what worked, what surprised us, and what we'd do differently. We originally explored this path as a tax strategy, but it turned into something more: an opportunity to diversify our income, build an asset, and step into a completely new kind of learning curve. And it was a learning curve. We went in thinking renovations would cost about half of what they actually did. Once we opened up the walls, we uncovered things we couldn't have anticipated — outdated systems, deeper structural work that needed to happen. But even with those surprises, the property is now live and generating income, which has been rewarding to see. We talk about how we chose the location (and why familiarity with a market matters), how we thought about increasing the property's value, and the importance of understanding local regulations before you invest. We also share something I care about: the idea of "shipping" before everything is perfect. Whether it's business or investing, waiting until you feel fully ready can keep you stuck indefinitely. This episode is an invitation to approach money with more curiosity, more flexibility, and more willingness to learn through action — rather than waiting for certainty. “We went into it thinking it was gonna cost about half as much as it did to renovate.” –Kate Northrup“The hardest part is getting it started and getting things set up.”--Mike Watts🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤01:32 Announcement: Launching Our Short‑Term Rental Business 02:54 Property Overview: Yarmouth, Maine Airbnb 04:18 Episode Structure, Goals and Why We’re Sharing (Part One) 07:09 How to Start: Strategies by Capital, Time, and Involvement 09:17 How We Found the Property: Trip, Local Connections, and Purchase Story 13:37 Market Research: Tools, Seasonality, and Pricing 18:24 Rental Types: Short, Mid, and Long‑Term Profitability 25:16 Renovation Surprises, Regulations, and Contractor Quotes 34:19 Financial Goals: Diversification and Income Strategy 39:40 Lessons, Listing Details, and Guest Experience Links and Resources:Kate's Instagram Mike's Instagram Katenorthrup.com AirDNA BNBCalc Airbnb listing for our property ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

156. The Lie of Scarcity: Creating a New Dream for the Planet with Lynne Twist & Sara Vetter

What if the feeling that there’s “not enough” isn’t actually true—but something you’ve been taught to believe? And what might shift if your relationship with money became rooted in sufficiency instead of scarcity? What if scarcity isn’t a reality—but a story we’ve all been living inside? In this episode, I sit down with Lynne Twist and Sara Vetter for one of the most expansive conversations we’ve had on this podcast—about money, purpose, and what it means to create a different future for our planet. We explore the idea that the dominant paradigm we’ve been operating in—the belief that there’s not enough, that we have to compete, that someone will inevitably be left out—is actually a lie. And how that belief shapes not only our financial lives, but the way we relate to each other and the world. Lynne shares her decades of work in global philanthropy and the profound realization that people living in conditions of hunger are not “less than”—that what’s lacking is not their worth, but their circumstances. And Sara opens up about her own journey from external success and privilege into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with money and purpose. We talk about sufficiency—not as a number, but as a state of being. We explore what happens when we shift from accumulation to contribution, from fear to trust, and from isolation to connection. This conversation is ultimately an invitation to look at your own relationship with money—and to consider the possibility that true wealth lives not in what you have, but in how you engage with your life. “The paradigm of scarcity—that there’s not enough to go around—is a lie.” –Lynne Twist“Money does not bring you happiness.” –Sara Vetter 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:24 Guest Introduction and Episode Themes (Lynn Twist & Sarah Vedder) 03:31 Lynn's Upbringing, Father's Death and Path to Activism 07:22 Lynn on Money, Respect and Ethical Fundraising 09:16 Sarah's Money Story and Personal Transformation 25:13 How Lynn and Sarah Met — Partnership and Complementary Strengths 28:06 Wealth, Scarcity Paradigm and the Truth of Sufficiency 35:33 Pachamama Alliance — Amazon Conservation and Indigenous Partnership 42:48 The Sophia Century and Divine Feminine Wisdom 48:07 Manifestation & Full‑Circle Story (Oprah, Charlotte and Synchronicity) 59:46 How to Support, Get Involved and Closing ResourcesLinks and Resources:Recalibration Field The Big Money decision Matrix Connect with Lynne Twist & Sara Vetter:The Soul of Money Living a committed life Pachamama Alliance Remarkable Women's Journey Soul of Money Institute✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

Bonus Episode. How Nervous System Healing Saved Our Marriage and Tripled Our Income: A Relaxed Money Case Study with Lizzie Langston

What if your financial struggles weren’t about discipline or strategy—but about feeling safe in your body? And what might change in your relationship if money no longer triggered fear, shame, or shutdown? What if the path to more money — and more connection in your relationship — starts in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Lizzie and Abe Langston to explore what it actually looks like to rebuild your financial life and your marriage from a place of healing, not pressure. They share their story of navigating financial rock bottom after the loss of a business, and the emotional toll it took — not just on their finances, but on their relationship. Lizzie opens up about the shame she carried around money and how those patterns showed up as avoidance, fear, and disconnection. Instead of forcing herself into traditional financial strategies that never quite worked for her, she found a different entry point: repatterning how money lived in her body. As she did that work, everything began to shift. Conversations became calmer. Reactivity softened. New opportunities — ones that aligned with her real gifts — began to emerge. What's especially powerful is that Abe didn't have to do the work in the same way for the transformation to happen. As Lizzie changed her relationship with money, the entire dynamic of their partnership evolved with her. This conversation is a reminder that when we stop trying to override our patterns and instead learn to meet ourselves honestly, we unlock a different kind of capacity — one that supports both financial growth and deeper connection. “It wasn’t just ‘do this with your money’—it was, ‘oh, I can feel safe with money.’” –Lizzie Langston🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:02 Episode introduction and guest overview 02:17 Interview begins — Meet Lizzy & Abe 03:20 Backstory: Lost business and financial collapse 05:31 Emotional impact: shame, fear and relationship strain 07:56 Discovering and joining Relaxed Money 15:36 Two‑year results: financial and relational shifts 22:17 New income streams: psychic work and business partnerships 26:49 Improved money conversations and marriage healing 27:44 Hesitations, shame and advice for those considering the program 31:03 Where to find Lizzy & Abe — contact and projects Links and Resources:The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Connect with Lizzie Langston:Website Abram's Linkedin ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

155. Couples and Money: How to Stop Waiting for Your Partner to Get on Board

Are you waiting for your partner to get on board before you fully step into your financial life? What might shift if you stopped waiting—and started leading your own transformation? What if the thing holding you back financially isn’t your partner—but the belief that you need them to change first? In this episode, I share a perspective that can feel both confronting and incredibly freeing: waiting for your partner to get on board with money work is a limiting pattern. I walk through why making someone else the reason you can’t move forward is one of the sneakiest ways we give our power away—and how this pattern is often rooted in our own survival wiring. We explore what’s actually possible when you take full ownership of your relationship with money, regardless of what your partner is or isn’t doing. Because the truth is, you don’t need your partner’s buy-in to create meaningful financial change. And at the same time, I also share how powerful it can be when couples do come into alignment—not through pressure or ultimatums, but through invitation, embodiment, and trust. This episode is really about shifting from waiting… to leading. From needing external permission… to reclaiming your own agency. Because when you change your relationship with money, it doesn’t just impact you—it has the potential to transform the entire dynamic of your relationship. “Waiting for your partner to get on board is a limiting money pattern.” –Kate Northrup “Anytime we make someone else the reason we can’t have what we want, we are giving our power away.” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Plenty and Relaxed Money 02:32 You Don't Need Your Partner to Do the Work 04:59 Waiting for Your Partner: Limiting Patterns and Secondary Gain 07:17 Meeting Your Edge: Practices, Sequencing and Nervous System Work 09:37 Couples' Success Stories and Program Benefits 13:15 How to Invite Your Partner Without Pushing 14:19 Practical Conversation Steps and Money Date Suggestions 17:40 Commit to Your Own Work and Lead by Example 19:14 Program Results, CTA and Closing Links and Resources:Couples Guide Relaxed Money When Does Money Actually Feel Good? I’ve watched a pattern play out for years—and I know you’ve felt it, too. Making good money doesn’t automatically make you good with money. Even as my income increased, the stress didn’t disappear. There was still that low-grade pressure. That quiet hum of not-enough. I kept asking myself: When do I finally get to exhale? I know I’m not alone in that. I’ve worked with brilliant, high-capacity people — earning anywhere from $50K to $300M—who are still walking around feeling uneasy every time they open their banking app. Guilty when they spend on themselves. Confused about where the money actually goes. Like they should have figured this out by now. Successful on the outside, but not truly resourced on the inside. More money alone doesn’t fix this. Because money isn’t just math—it’s an ecosystem. And if the architecture underneath isn’t designed to support wealth, more income just amplifies the pressure. So what actually works? Good With Money is a 3-day live experience designed to help you upgrade the system beneath your financial life — so money can finally feel as good as it looks. Day 1: Audit Your Hidden Money EcosystemIdentify where your system is strong, where it’s leaking, and whether it’s currently built for survival or for expansion. Day 2: Install Financial InfrastructureStrengthen the foundation beneath your money so it can come in, stay, and grow — sustainably. Day 3: Your Relaxed Money RoadmapWalk away with a clear, structured plan for the kind of expansion your system can actually support. This happens once a year. If you’re ready to stop managing money from pressure — and start experiencing it from a place of safety, clarity, and real support — this is your moment. More money isn’t the answer. A stewarded system is. Register now. Replays are available for a limited time.

From Less Than Zero to $20K in Savings: Relaxed Money Case Study with Kareem Manuel

What if your financial breakdown wasn’t the end… but the beginning of a more sustainable way of living with money? And what if feeling safe with money had less to do with how much you earn—and more to do with how you relate to it? What happens when everything you thought was working… suddenly falls apart? In this episode, I sit down with Kareem Manuel, who went from running a growing business to experiencing a rapid financial collapse—losing his business, his home, and his sense of stability almost overnight. What I love about Kareem’s story is not just what he rebuilt, but how he rebuilt it. Because this isn’t a story about hustling harder or pushing through. It’s about learning to feel safe with money, to stay present with what is, and to build a foundation that can actually hold you. Kareem shares how he went from less than zero in savings to $20,000 in just a few months—not through force, but through a complete shift in how he related to money, debt, and himself. We talk about what it means to bring your nervous system into your financial life, how to move out of fear and into clarity, and why the real transformation isn’t just external—it’s internal. This episode is such a powerful reminder that financial safety isn’t something you chase. It’s something you build—gently, consistently, and in relationship with yourself. “I realized I didn’t know how to hold money.

154. The Hidden Money Leak: Breaking Free from Financial Codependency

Are you using money to make someone else feel okay… so that you can feel okay? And if so, what might become possible if your financial choices came from clarity instead of emotional obligation? What if one of the biggest drains on your finances isn’t your spending habits—but your relationships? In this episode, I’m talking about something that can feel a little uncomfortable to name, but incredibly liberating once you see it clearly: financial codependency. I share what financial codependency actually is—using money to regulate someone else’s emotions so that you can feel okay—and why this dynamic can quietly leak energy, money, and personal power over time. We explore how this can show up in real life: with adult children, within families, in friendships, and even inside your business. And more importantly, we look at the subtle difference between generosity and overgiving—because they are not the same. I also walk you through why clarity is one of the most powerful forces in your financial life. When there are no clear agreements, no boundaries, and no defined containers for money, things get murky—and money does not thrive in murkiness. This conversation is really an invitation to look underneath the surface of your financial life—to your hidden money ecosystem—and gently ask: where might I be overextending myself in ways that aren’t actually serving me or the people I love? Because when you shift out of codependency and into clear, grounded agreements, you don’t just protect your money—you reclaim your power. “Any lack of clarity is a drain in your money ecosystem—money loves clarity.” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction — Financial Codependency & Podcast Overview 01:52 Hidden Money Ecosystem (Energetics vs Engineering) 04:06 Introducing Financial Codependency as a Money Leak 06:10 What is Codependency?

How to Rebuild Your Money (and Your Body) After Divorce: Relaxed Money Case Study with Jenn Racioppi

What if rebuilding your finances after a major life rupture wasn’t about pushing harder—but about slowing down enough to truly heal? And what if your relationship with money had more to do with your nervous system than your strategy? What if the path to financial stability isn’t about doing more—but about being with what is? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend, Jenn Racioppi, to explore what it really looks like to rebuild your life—financially, physically, and emotionally—after a divorce that changes everything. Jenn shares her deeply honest journey of navigating the “math that doesn’t work” after divorce—where income is split, expenses double, and the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. But instead of jumping into hustle or trying to out-strategize her situation, she chose something radically different: she slowed down, stayed with herself, and allowed healing to lead. We talk about what it means to be in a “fertile void”—a season where growth doesn’t look flashy, but something deeper is being rebuilt. We explore the intersection of money, the body, and the nervous system—and why true financial healing requires all three. Jenn also shares her powerful story of reversing osteoporosis naturally, and how rebuilding her physical foundation mirrored the process of rebuilding her financial life. This conversation is a reminder that wealth isn’t created through urgency or pressure—it’s built through consistency, presence, and the willingness to meet yourself honestly. If you’re in a season of rebuilding—or even quietly recalibrating—this episode may offer a different way forward.  What You’ll LearnWhy money is not just math—and how your nervous system shapes your financial realityThe hidden financial impact of divorce (and why it often feels so destabilizing)What a “fertile void” season is—and why it can be essential for long-term wealthHow to stay with discomfort instead of spending your way out of itThe connection between financial habits and emotional regulationWhy boredom and “doing less” can actually unlock creativity and clarityHow aligning your spending with your values creates real stabilityThe powerful parallel between rebuilding your body and rebuilding your finances“Money’s math… and it’s not.

153. The Architecture of Healthy Financial Overflow — How Your Money Starts Supporting You with The Wealth Stewardship Pyramid (The Recalibration Series Part 4)

What if your money could actually support you… instead of something you constantly have to manage? And what if more freedom didn’t come from earning more—but from how your money is structured? What if your money could actually support you… instead of something you constantly have to manage? In this episode, I share what I call healthy financial overflow—a state where your money is no longer something you have to push, control, or constantly think about… but something that quietly and reliably supports your life. Because here’s what I’ve learned: more money doesn’t create more freedom. Structure does. I walk you through the Wealth Stewardship Pyramid, a framework for building a financial life that moves from instability and pressure… into sufficiency, freedom, and eventually, overflow. This isn’t about chasing bigger numbers or reaching some external milestone. It’s about creating a system that allows your money to feel steady, supportive, and aligned with what actually matters to you. We start at the foundation—clarity, stability, and financial grounding—and move through the layers of building cushion, installing structure, and aligning your lifestyle with your values. And over time, something begins to shift. Money stops feeling urgent. Decisions become calmer. Your energy frees up. Until eventually, your money begins to carry more of the weight—and you no longer have to. This episode is an invitation to step out of managing money from pressure… and into stewarding it from a place of clarity, safety, and intention. Because financial overflow isn’t something you chase. It’s what naturally happens when the foundation beneath it is built well. What You’ll Learn:Why more money doesn’t necessarily create more freedom—and what actually doesThe concept of healthy financial overflow and how it feels in real lifeThe 6 levels of the Wealth Stewardship Pyramid—and where you may be right nowHow to move from reactive money management to intentional financial leadershipWhy clarity and visibility are the true starting points of wealthThe role of nervous system safety in creating sustainable financial growthHow structure reduces decision fatigue and creates more spaciousness in your life“Financial overflow isn’t something you chase—it’s what happens when the foundation beneath it is built well.”-Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction: Money, energetics and the Plenty series 00:35 Recalibration Series Recap and Field Guide 02:15 Defining Healthy Financial Overflow 04:07 Hidden Money Ecosystem and Money Leaks 06:35 Wealth Stewardship Pyramid: Overview and Level 1 (Financial Grounding) 07:29 Level 2: Cushion, Breathing Room and Reduced Financial Stress 09:22 Level 3: Structural Stewardship and Allocation Systems 12:40 Level 4: Sufficiency, Lifestyle Alignment and Work Optionality 14:14 Level 5: Healthy Financial Overflow (Trajectory to Work Optional) 16:00 Level 6: Stewardship, Impact and Directing Resources 19:02 Conclusion, Next Steps and Call to Action (Good With Money) Links and Resources:Recalibration Field Guide Good with Money When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

From “I Want More” to True Financial Expansion - Without Burnout: Relaxed Money Case Study with Nichelle Frye

What if nothing is “wrong” with your money… but you still know there’s more available for you? What if the next level of financial expansion isn’t about working harder—but feeling safer and more supported? In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes conversation with one of our Relaxed Money students, Nichelle—and her story is such a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait for a crisis to create change. Nichelle came into this work with stable income, solid numbers, and a life that looked “good on paper.” And yet, she had this quiet knowing that there was more available—not just financially, but in how she felt in her life. What I love about her journey is that she didn’t take action from urgency or fear. She followed an invitation toward expansion. And what unfolded was both deeply tangible—paying off her car, building a six-month cushion, creating space for ease—and also profoundly internal. A sense of coming home to herself. A new relationship with money that feels grounded, spacious, and actually supportive. This conversation is a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we shift from force to alignment… and from fixing to allowing.  What You’ll LearnWhy “wanting more” (even when things are fine) is a valid and powerful starting pointThe missing piece of traditional “money mindset” work—and why it often doesn’t stickHow nervous system safety changes your financial behavior and resultsThe difference between an “emergency fund” and a “financial cushion” (and why language matters)How to create tangible financial stability without pressure or burnoutWhy showing up live (instead of relying on replays) can shift your resultsThe role of choice, sovereignty, and gentle transformation in lasting change “For the first time in my life, I built a six-month cushion.

152. The Subtle Money Leaks That Shape Your Financial Life (And What to Shift First) (The Recalibration Part 3)

What if the reason your money isn't moving the way you want has nothing to do with discipline — and everything to do with patterns you haven't been able to see yet? In part three of the Recalibration Series, I'm walking you through the subtle, often invisible money leaks that quietly drain financial energy from high-achieving, high-responsibility people — even when you're doing everything "right." In this episode, you'll learn:Why money leaks are a structural issue, not a discipline or capacity issue — and why that distinction changes everythingHow your hidden money ecosystem (the energetics and the engineering) shapes your entire financial realityThe four most common money leaks I see in high-capacity, high-earning people — including scarcity thinking, money avoidance, no containment architecture, and earning as the only strategyWhy scarcity is a paradigm, not a circumstance — and how it operates independently of income levelHow money avoidance shows up as vagueness, not just fear — and why what you don't regularly see can't support youWhat "containment architecture" is and why the absence of it means money arrives but has nowhere to goWhy using yourself as the infrastructure is a guaranteed path to burnout — and what to build insteadKey insight from this episode: This is not a capacity issue. It's not a discipline issue. It's a pattern — and most of these leaks are ones you've never even identified as problems, because some of them are societally celebrated. Awareness is the first step to real transformation. Once you can see the leak, you can start to change everything. “You don’t have a money problem—you have a pattern that hasn’t been made conscious yet.” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:38 Recalibration series overview and how to use the series 01:26 Episode focus: Nine energy leaks draining financial resources 04:21 Hidden money ecosystem explained: energetics vs engineering 06:04 How different ecosystem states create specific leaks (examples) 08:42 Why identifying leaks matters: patterns not personal failure 10:12 Leak 1 — The scarcity paradigm  14:04 Leak 2 — Money avoidance and financial vagueness 16:39 Leak 3 — No containment architecture for money 18:00 Leak 4 — Earning as the only strategy 20:18 Reflection: locating the leaks in your body and awareness as change 21:31 Next steps: Wealth Stewardship Pyramid and upcoming episode Links and Resources:Good with Money Workshop The Recalibration Field Guide QuizWhen Does Money Actually Feel Good?

More Money, Still Never Enough - Until This: Relaxed Money Case Study with Melissa Eich

Why does making more money still feel like it's never enough? In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Eich — nurse, women's health coach, and someone who knows what it's like to work hard, invest in yourself, and still feel like the ground beneath your money is shaking. Melissa opens up about a difficult investment that didn't deliver — and the wave of shame, anger, and self-doubt that followed. We go deep on why more income doesn't automatically create safety or satisfaction, and what it actually takes to stop outsourcing your sense of financial security to the next strategy, the next number, the next external fix. Through her work inside Relaxed Money, Melissa began following her own internal breadcrumbs back to herself — learning to trust her body, her intuition, and her capacity to make clear, grounded decisions with money. She shares how consistent money dates, compassionate awareness, and healing her nervous system's relationship with money transformed not just her finances — but her sense of self-worth and agency. If you've ever thought I should have figured this out by now, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. “There were times I had more money than I knew what to do with—and it still didn’t feel like enough.” –Melissa Eich🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:27 Guest introduction — Melissa: RN and women's wellness coach 03:16 Personal challenge — bad mentorship investment and resulting shame 04:36 Discovery — finding Relaxed Money / Good With Money workshop 05:31 Why this program was different — nervous system work & self‑authored approach 07:48 Program experience — structure, money dates and practical tools 10:25 Applying the methodology — listening to the body and communicating about money 12:24 Results & healing — paying off invoices (debt), releasing shame and surfacing anger 18:24 Business impact — improved coaching and deeper client results 19:30 Closing & next steps — contact details and host call to actionLinks and Resources:The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Good with MoneyConnect with Melissa Eich:Website✨ When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

151. The Hidden Money Ecosystem – And What State Yours Is In (The Recalibration Part 2)

What if the reason your money isn't growing the way you want has nothing to do with how much you make? In this episode, I'm introducing a powerful new framework called the hidden money ecosystem—and it might completely change the way you understand your financial life. Money is not just math. It's an ecosystem made up of two invisible forces: your energetics (how money feels in your body, your beliefs, your internal wiring) and your engineering (your systems, structures, and strategies). What you see on the surface — your income, savings, lifestyle—is simply the expression of what's happening underneath. If things aren't sticking, growing, or feeling as good as they should, it's not because you're doing it wrong. It's because your ecosystem may need an upgrade. In this episode, I walk you through the four states of the hidden money ecosystem so you can identify where you are and what to shift: Overdrive—Working hard with little structure and low internal safety, creating income without stability. Constriction—Strong systems rooted in fear, protecting money while limiting expansion. Diffusion—High trust and flow, but lacking structure. Money comes in and doesn't stay. Stewarded—The sweet spot, where safety and structure meet, and wealth grows with ease. The goal isn't to judge where you are. It's to notice—so you can begin moving into a more supported, sustainable state. Sustainable wealth isn't built by effort alone. It's built by the architecture of your ecosystem. When your energetics and your engineering strengthen together, you move into a stewarded state—where money no longer needs to be managed from stress, because it begins to genuinely support you. This episode is your invitation to stop trying to fix your money from the outside and start recalibrating what's happening beneath the surface. I'm also sharing a free companion field guide and a quiz so you can identify your current state and take your next aligned step.

I've watched a pattern play out for years—and I know you've felt it, too. Making good money doesn't automatically make you good with money. Even as my income increased, the stress didn't disappear. There was still that low-grade pressure. That quiet hum of not-enough. I kept asking myself: When do I finally get to exhale? I know I'm not alone in that. I've worked with brilliant, high-capacity people — earning anywhere from $50K to $300M—who are still walking around feeling uneasy every time they open their banking app. Guilty when they spend on themselves. Confused about where the money actually goes. Like they should have figured this out by now. Successful on the outside, but not truly resourced on the inside. More money alone doesn't fix this. Because money isn't just math—it's an ecosystem. And if the architecture underneath isn't designed to support wealth, more income just amplifies the pressure. So what actually works? Good With Money is a 3-day live experience designed to help you upgrade the system beneath your financial life — so money can finally feel as good as it looks. Day 1: Audit Your Hidden Money Ecosystem Identify where your system is strong, where it's leaking, and whether it's currently built for survival or for expansion. Day 2: Install Financial Infrastructure Strengthen the foundation beneath your money so it can come in, stay, and grow — sustainably. Day 3: Your Relaxed Money Roadmap Walk away with a clear, structured plan for the kind of expansion your system can actually support. This happens once a year. If you're ready to stop managing money from pressure — and start experiencing it from a place of safety, clarity, and real support — this is your moment. More money isn't the answer. A stewarded system is. Register now before doors close. Related Episode:Recalibration Series Episode 1: How to Increase Income Without Increasing Pressure (150)

Case Study - From Shame to Self-Trust: Reclaiming Power After “Messing Up” With Money: Relaxed Money Case Study with Pritranjan Hothi (Prit)

The money can come back. The question is: will you? Prit lost over half a million dollars. What followed wasn't just a financial crisis — it was a full reckoning with the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that had been running her life long before the loss happened. In this conversation, we trace the arc from overwhelm and self-blame to something far more powerful: a grounded, embodied relationship with money, trust, and her own authority. We talk about what it actually takes to stop abandoning yourself under pressure — and what becomes possible when you do. This is a story about money. It's also a story about what it means to come home to yourself. “There was a lot of shame because I’m supposed to know better and do better—and I felt like I had failed again.”--Pritranjan Hothi “What if nothing has gone wrong—and your money story is simply asking you to come back to yourself?” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Episode introduction and preview of Prit's story 02:10 Prit's breaking point: why she sought help 03:07 Discovering Relaxed Money and first impressions 04:44 How Prit lost money: investments, scams and choices 07:48 Nervous‑system healing, health and personal transformation 12:20 Early practical results: daily habits, family and housing changes 19:36 Business impact: clarity, revamp and future plans 21:32 Closing remarks and how to connect with Prit Links and Resources:The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Connect with Pritranjan Hothi:Instagram Email ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

150. How to Increase Income Without Increasing Pressure (The Recalibration Part 1)

What if the reason you're not earning more isn't a capability problem—it's a capacity problem? If you've ever found yourself pumping the brakes on your own income—not because you can't make more money, but because some part of you is afraid of what comes with it—this episode is for you. Welcome to the Recalibration Series. This is a special collection of episodes I've created specifically for high-capacity, high-functioning humans who are ready to recalibrate their relationship with power, money, and safety. If you're someone who generates meaningful income, carries a lot of responsibility, and still feels that low-grade financial anxiety humming in the background no matter how much comes in, you're in exactly the right place. In Part 1, we're diving into one of the most sneaky and under-discussed patterns I see with my students: the belief that more income means more pressure. This unconscious association is quietly keeping so many brilliant, capable people from going all the way — from opening the floodgates to the income, the impact, and the work that truly wants to come through them. Here's what I want you to know: your desires are not by mistake. The things you genuinely want to pursue are pointing you somewhere real. But if you've been turning down the volume on your ambition because you're afraid you won't be able to handle the growth, we have what I call an infrastructure problem. And the good news? Infrastructure can be built. In this episode, I introduce the concept of your hidden money ecosystem—the internal and external scaffolding that either supports your expansion or quietly undermines it. I also walk you through the difference between making more money through effort versus through leverage, and why pouring more income into a system that isn't set up to receive it is like pouring water into a leaky bucket. More water doesn't fix the leaks. It never will. This isn't about working harder. It's about building the structure that lets wealth land— and stay. In this episode, we explore:Why high-functioning earners unconsciously associate more income with more pressure (and how to shift it)The hidden money ecosystem concept and why it's the real foundation of financial expansionThe difference between effort-based income and leverage-based income — and where you might be leaving leverage on the tableWhy making more money alone won't fix what feels broken — and what actually willHow to move from trying to hold more to being supported by the structures you buildThis episode is for you if:You make good money, but still feel anxious about itBig revenue months bring a rush—followed immediately by "what if I can't keep this up?"You've tried earning more, mindset work, spreadsheets, and financial advisors— and something still doesn't clickYou're tired of being the infrastructure and ready to be supported by itThis is Part 1 of the Recalibration Series on Plenty. New episodes in this series drop throughout the season, and each one builds on the last. I can't wait to walk through this with you. "The question is not: can you make more money?

149. The Top 7 Lessons From Hosting “The Best Event Ever” According to Our Attendees of Relaxed Money Live

What if the most transformational money event you could attend had very little to do with spreadsheets—and everything to do with your body, your nervous system, and the way you connect with others? In this episode, I’m sharing the top seven lessons I learned from hosting what attendees called “the best event ever” at our most recent Relaxed Money Live gathering in Nashville. After the event, my phone was flooded with voice memos, texts, and messages from people saying they had never experienced anything like it—and I’ve been reflecting deeply on why. What made this event so powerful wasn’t hype or high-pressure tactics. It was the intention behind every detail. We designed the experience around something I believe deeply: true financial expansion starts with safety in the body. When our nervous systems feel regulated and supported, our brains can create new neural pathways around money, power, and possibility. In this episode, I walk you through the key ingredients that made the event so transformative—from creating meaningful connection instead of small talk, to incorporating movement, nervous system practices, and even singing and dancing together to help people metabolize stress and open up to new possibilities. I also share behind-the-scenes stories from the event:How a massive ice storm the week before became part of the ritual leading up to expansion.Why designing experiences that prioritize the body first, business second changes everything.How a dream collaboration with the legendary Lynne Twist came together with one bold ask.And the surprising way a silent disco became the perfect metaphor for how we can change our energetic channel at any moment.At its core, this episode is about something bigger than an event. It’s about what happens when we gather in a way that honors our humanity—when we build circles instead of pyramids and remember that wealth is created not just through strategy, but through alignment, safety, and connection. If you’ve ever wondered how to create deeper transformation in your work, your money, or the communities you lead, this conversation will give you a powerful lens into what’s possible when we design experiences—and lives—that truly support our nervous systems and our purpose. This is an invitation to stop chasing artificial beginnings and start living inside cyclical momentum - where your energy, creativity, and income compound naturally. “True wealth doesn’t start in your bank account—it starts in your body feeling safe enough to receive.” -Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Podcast Introduction: Money, Power, and Safety 02:24 Relaxed Money Live: Event Overview and Impact 10:14 Body‑First Event Design: Movement, Nervous System, and Singing 16:29 Surrender and Ritual: Conserving Energy Before Expansion 19:48 Fulfillment over Sales: Sponsorships and Manifestation 35:06 Guest Speakers and Fireside Chats (Patrice, James Wedmore, Lynn Twist) 40:18 Reflections and Key Takeaways from the Event 42:01 Next Steps: Waitlist and Future Events 42:22 Offer: Money Reset Free Audio for Rewiring Wealth Links and Resources:Website Instagram Facebook Youtube Podcast Relaxed Money Live 2027 Waitlist Money Reset The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist Confessions of an Economic Hit Man Soul of Money Institute Pachamama Alliance 🎙 Ready to feel more regulated, resilient, and at home in your body? What if the key to greater clarity, creativity, and financial expansion wasn’t pushing harder—but working with your nervous system instead of against it? That’s exactly what Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) teaches. NSI is the ability to recognize how sensory and cognitive inputs affect your nervous system—and then intentionally shift those patterns so your body can adapt in ways that support greater safety, resilience, and capacity. When your nervous system feels safe, everything changes. You can experience deeper regulation, improved performance, meaningful behavior shifts, and powerful repatterning of old stress and trauma responses. This work has been incredibly impactful in my own life and business. Learning how to work with my nervous system through NSI has helped me build resilience, shift long-standing patterns, and create from a place of greater ease, clarity, and alignment. It’s also become a powerful tool that I share with our community because it supports real, sustainable transformation. If you’re curious about exploring this work for yourself, early registration for the next NSI cohort is now open, along with some beautiful bonuses for those who join early. ✨ Learn more and explore if it’s right for you: 🔗 https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/kate Related Episode:Financial and Purpose Expansion Post Divorce and Beyond with Patrice Washington (091)

147. I Would Not Be the Woman I Am Today Without This Woman: An Intimate Conversation with Regena Thomashauer, aka Mama Gena, aka The Queen of Pleasure

What if one woman could change the entire trajectory of your relationship with your body, your desire, and your power—for the rest of your life? In this deeply personal episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with the woman who did exactly that for me: Regena Thomashauer, also known as Mama Gena, the Queen of Pleasure. I met Regena when I was 22 years old. I walked into her brownstone living room in New York City not knowing that a single class would reshape how I experienced my body, my relationships, my confidence, and my aliveness. I can say this without exaggeration: I would not be the woman I am today without her. In this intimate, emotional conversation, we talk about what happens when women are taught to distrust their desire and what becomes possible when that conditioning is dismantled. Regena shares the origin story of Mama Gena, why reclaiming pleasure is not frivolous but revolutionary, and how appreciation becomes a doorway back to power. We explore why so many high-achieving women look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected internally and how pleasure is often the missing link. We also go behind the scenes of her iconic Mastery program, including what it took to lead thousands of women at a time, why she ultimately chose to close that chapter, and what it cost her physically, emotionally, and spiritually to keep that portal open for so long. Regena speaks candidly about motherhood, lineage healing, partnership, surrender, and what it actually takes to receive deep love after a lifetime of armor. This episode is about more than pleasure. It’s about life force. It’s about the creative power that fuels our work, our wealth, our relationships, and our leadership. It’s about what happens when women stop outsourcing their aliveness and start choosing it, even in hard seasons. If you’ve ever felt successful but strangely disconnected… if you’ve built a powerful life but know there’s more vitality available to you… if you want to understand how pleasure, power, and purpose are inseparable—this conversation will meet you right where you are. XO, Kate “When there is aliveness within, connection without becomes possible—and miracles can happen in a microsecond.” — Regena Thomashauer🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Mama Gina and Feminine Empowerment 11:04 – Cultural Disconnection and Self-Approval 18:40 – Connection and Miracles 22:51 – The Evolution of Feminine Identity 27:50 – The Challenges of Holding Space 39:40 – The Sacred Feminine and Sensuality 48:27 – Cultural Discomfort with Female Sexuality 50:19 – Reclaiming Sensual Education 52:50 – Navigating Mother-Daughter Dynamics 55:04 – The Path of Pleasure and Connection Links and Resources:Money Breakthrough Guide Relaxed Money® Connect with Regena Thomashauer:Website Instagram Facebook Pussy: A Reclamation Programs & Trainings ✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?

146. How to Tune In To What Turns You On and Access More Money and Power As A Result with Genevieve LeJeune

What if tuning in to what turns you on is one of the most powerful ways to access more money, confidence, and leadership in your life? In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with Genevieve LeJeune, founder and CEO of Skirt Club, a private international membership for bisexual and bi-curious women. Our conversation moves straight into territory most people avoid - pleasure, desire, power, money, and the courage it takes to invest in yourself when the world tells you not to. Genevieve shares how Skirt Club began as a small gathering in her London flat and grew into a global movement, why she created an alter ego to step into leadership, and what it actually looks like when women prioritize their own pleasure and agency - without apology. We talk about the cultural shame that has kept women disconnected from their desire, how giving yourself permission to want more changes the way you show up everywhere, and why women who take ownership of their pleasure often become clearer decision-makers, stronger leaders, and more powerful stewards of money. Genevieve also breaks down how Skirt Club events work, why privacy and discretion matter, and what she’s learned after witnessing thousands of women claim parts of themselves they were taught to hide. This episode is about more than sex. It’s about self-trust. It’s about choosing yourself before you have all the answers. And it’s about the quiet, radical truth that when women listen to their bodies and act on what they want, their money, confidence, and sense of power expand right along with them. XO, Kate “I wasn’t trying to change who I was. I just stepped into another version of myself and gave her permission to lead.”  -  Genevieve LeJeune🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Self Acceptance and Sexuality 10:42 – Cultural Shifts Around Women's Sexuality 17:42 – What Happens at Skirt Club Events 21:05 – Dressing for Empowerment and Confidence 25:27 – Cultural and Religious Influences on Sexuality 35:10 – Marketing Strategies and Word of Mouth 42:09 – Adapting to COVID-19 and Online Events 43:24 – Launch of Skirt Society App 45:33 – Interconnection of Money, Power, and Sexuality 46:37 – Personal Growth Through Adventure 50:43 – Conclusion and Call to ActionLinks and Resources:Money Breakthrough Guide Connect with Genevieve LeJeune:Skirt Club Instagram Skirt Club Instagram Skirt Club Community Instagram ✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?

145. How to Talk About Money & Death With Your Loved Ones (and Why Waiting or Avoiding it is a Big Mistake) with Amber Saunders (145)

What would change for your family if the hardest conversations about money and death were already handled—clearly, lovingly, and without chaos? In this episode of Plenty, I’m sitting down with estate and legacy planning lawyer Amber Saunders for a conversation most people avoid—and pay for later. We talk about why avoiding conversations about death, money, and legacy doesn’t protect your family… it actually creates confusion, resentment, and heartbreak when it matters most. Amber shares a powerful personal story about how one simple decision her great-grandmother made ended up supporting three generations later—financially, emotionally, and practically—during a medical crisis no one could have predicted. This isn’t an episode about documents and paperwork (though we cover what you actually need, at every stage of life). It’s about legacy. It’s about values. It’s about making decisions now so the people you love aren’t left guessing later.In our conversation, we cover:Why waiting to talk about money and death almost always creates family conflictHow to start estate conversations with parents or partners without it sounding like you’re after an inheritanceThe first non-negotiable steps every adult needs in place—even if you don’t think you have “enough” assets yetWhy clarity around what you own (yes, even a simple list) can save your family years of stressHow inheritances go wrong—and how to pass down wisdom and values, not just moneyWhy no AI tool or fill-in-the-blank document can replace the human side of legacy planningIf you care about your family, your future, and what happens to what you’ve built—this is a conversation to listen to before there’s a crisis. This episode is an invitation to lead with intention now, so the people you love can grieve, remember, and stay connected later.

144. The Currency of Connection: How Safety Expands Wealth (YouTube: Why Feeling Safe Is the Most Profitable Thing You Can Do)

What if the most profitable thing you could do this year isn’t another strategy - but learning how to create real connection? In this episode of Plenty, I’m inviting you into a conversation that challenges one of the most common assumptions in business and money: that control creates security. I share why control is often a stress response and how connection, not control, is what actually expands wealth. Not networking. Not transactional relationships. Real, human, heart-to-heart connection that opens new channels for opportunity, collaboration, and prosperity. I tell a pivotal story about how one meaningful relationship - formed without force or strategy - became a catalyst for millions in revenue and some of the most important friendships of my life. From there, I break down why money is inherently relational, why abundance moves through trust networks, and how the way we relate to people directly shapes the way resources flow to us. This is about shifting from “How do I make it happen?” to “How do I stay in right relationship with what’s happening?” In this episode, you’ll explore:Why control actually blocks connection - and connection is where wealth growsHow trust, presence, and generosity create real opportunityWhy high-achieving, successful people still feel empty or stressed at the topHow prioritizing relationships becomes a practical, powerful wealth strategySimple ways to nurture connections that compound over timeIf you make good money but still feel tense, isolated, or like you’re constantly bracing for the next shoe to drop - this episode will give you a new lens. One that leads to wealth that lasts, relationships that matter, and a life that actually feels full.

143. Your Voice Is Repelling Sales and How to Clear It with Tracy Goodwin

What if the reason your message isn’t landing - or your sales feel harder than they should - isn’t your strategy… but the sound of your voice? In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with the one-and-only Tracy Goodwin, founder of Captivate the Room, whose work completely changed how I understand communication, connection, and conversion. Tracy doesn’t teach “speaking tips.” She hears voices - literally - and she can identify microscopic sounds in your voice that can quietly repel trust, resonance, and income. According to her decades of research, those tiny sounds can cost you anywhere from 30–90% of your impact and revenue. In our conversation, we explore how the voice carries our nervous system history, our unhealed patterns, and the unconscious strategies we learned early in life to stay safe. Tracy breaks down the seven layers of the voice, including what she calls “voice masks” - the subtle ways we try to prove ourselves, sound professional, be liked, or avoid judgment. These masks don’t make us safer. They make us harder to trust. And then - very vulnerably - I let Tracy read my voice live on the podcast. What unfolds is part masterclass, part nervous-system truth telling, and part real-time healing. Tracy pinpoints where I’m working too hard to be understood, where old achievement patterns still leak into my tone, and why my true vocal superpower is actually fun, passion, and dimensionality - not over-precision or proving.

142. Abundance in Escrow: How Asking Unlocks What’s Already Yours (YouTube version: How to Unlock the Flow of Abundance That’s Already Waiting for You)

What if the abundance you’ve been working so hard to create is already here - just waiting for you to ask for it? In this episode of Plenty, I’m sharing one of the most overlooked - and most efficient - ways to unlock prosperity, support, and resources: asking.So many of us were conditioned to believe that being strong means doing everything alone. That wisdom lives in pushing harder, figuring it out in our heads, and proving our self-sufficiency. But that mindset is exactly what keeps abundance just out of reach. In this conversation, I walk you through a real-life example of how simply reaching out - raising your hand and saying “I need support” - can shift circumstances without force or struggle. I talk about why what you desire already exists, how scarcity is rooted in the illusion of separation, and why over-relying on intellect and rugged individualism actually shuts down creativity, clarity, and resource flow. You’ll hear why asking is not weakness - it’s strategy. It’s intelligence. It’s leadership. And it’s how prosperity actually moves. This episode will support you if:You’re carrying the belief that it’s “all on you”You feel stuck trying to solve something alone in your headYou want more ease, support, and flow with money and resourcesYou’re ready to work smarter instead of harderI’ll leave you with one powerful question that can change everything: What do you need help with right now - and who can you ask? Because abundance requires flow. And flow requires connection. XO, Kate “What we desire already exists. Abundance isn’t created from nothing - it’s accessed when we’re willing to ask.”-Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Abundance 01:37 Manifesting and Abundance 04:04 The Importance of Asking for Help 09:01 The Dangers of Individualism 11:55 Reconnecting with Community and Source 14:14 Call to Action: Seeking Support Links and Resources:Money Breakthrough Guide✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?

141. From Burnout to Ease: How Natalie Ellis Rebuilt Her Business for Flow & Freedom

What if the life and business you worked so hard to build suddenly stopped feeling worth it - and you listened? In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with Natalie Ellis, founder of Boss Babe, for a real, behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when success outpaces alignment - and how to rebuild everything around what actually matters. Natalie shares the moment that changed everything: sitting in a meeting while her six-month-old daughter cried in the next room, realizing her calendar, her business, and her nervous system were no longer livable. From that breaking point, she made radical decisions - stepping away, buying her business back, burning down misaligned offers, and rebuilding a company that prioritizes spaciousness, family, and well-being without sacrificing revenue. We talk about:The hidden cost of building success from chaos and survival modeHow motherhood rewired Natalie’s identity, boundaries, and relationship with workWhat it actually looks like to operationalize a nervous-system-first businessWhy “enough” is a powerful financial strategy - and how knowing your number changes everythingLetting go of status, comparison, and the pressure to want more just because you canWhat’s genuinely working right now in online business, social media, and AI (and how Natalie is using it without burning out)This conversation is for you if you’ve built something impressive - but your body is asking for a different pace. If you want to grow in a way that feels sustainable, spacious, and deeply grounded. If you’re ready to stop organizing your life around urgency and start organizing it around what creates real freedom. This is not about having less ambition. It’s about doing business from safety, clarity, and choice.

140. The Myth of the New Year: How to Begin Again Without Grinding Your Gears

What if the pressure to “start fresh” on January 1 isn’t motivating you because it was never designed for your body - or your prosperity - in the first place? In this episode of Plenty, I’m dismantling the myth of the New Year and offering a radically more sustainable way to begin again - one that doesn’t grind your gears, burn out your nervous system, or sabotage your income. January 1 is an arbitrary date created for economic standardization, not for human or ecological wellbeing. Yet so many ambitious, capable women push themselves to hit the ground running in the dead of winter - and then wonder why they’re exhausted by February. There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re responding intelligently to a system that’s out of sync with life itself. In this conversation, I walk you through why aligning exclusively with the Gregorian calendar quietly increases burnout, cortisol, and brittle business decisions - and how working with your biological and seasonal rhythms creates clarity, momentum, and more money with less effort. We explore the difference between linear, transactional time and the kind of timeless presence where your best decisions, creativity, and magnetism actually live. I also share a practical, body-based map for structuring your year around real rhythm - composting and clarity in winter, emergence in spring, visibility in summer, and harvest in fall - so your work is supported by nature instead of fighting it. This is the same approach my company used to eliminate 90% of our offers, double down on what actually worked, and create our biggest revenue years with fewer promotions and far less strain. If you’ve ever felt behind at the start of a year, this episode will reset your relationship with time itself - and show you how a regulated nervous system becomes one of your most powerful financial assets. In this episode, you’ll learn:Why January 1 is not a true beginning - and why your body knows itHow ignoring biological rhythms leads to burnout and weaker financial decisionsThe difference between Kronos time (measured, pressured) and Kairos time (expansive, meaningful)How seasonal planning reduces friction and increases profitabilityWhy doing less can actually create more momentum, revenue, and impactThis is an invitation to stop chasing artificial beginnings and start living inside cyclical momentum - where your energy, creativity, and income compound naturally.“A regulated nervous system makes better financial decisions. Less impulsive spending. Clearer pricing. More trust in timing.”–Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Abundance and Energy 00:38 The Pressure of New Beginnings 02:24 Reclaiming Time and Energy 03:50 Historical Perspectives on Time 05:00 The Economics of Time 13:09 The Power of Seasonal Alignment 18:22 Aligning with Nature for Prosperity 21:00 Emergence and Action 24:55 Reflection and Celebration Links and Resources:Do Less Heal the Way You Work Relaxed Money ✨ Heal the Way You Work: Build a Spacious, Profitable Business - Without Working MoreWorking harder doesn’t create sustainable success… but this does.

139. Shadow Money, Frequency & How Money Heals Through Us with The Money Shaman

Have you ever wondered if money isn’t just a resource…but a living consciousness you’re already in relationship with? In this week’s episode of Plenty, I sit down with The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz, for one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations I’ve ever had about money, healing, and the unseen forces that shape our financial lives. Ry and I explore money not as something we “manage,” fix, or master — but as a fluid, evolving consciousness that responds to our awareness, our compassion, and our willingness to be in genuine relationship with it. We talk about why shadow money work often feels so relieving, how different “streams” of money carry different energetic signatures, why some dollars feel light and others feel heavy, and how we can become stewards who help money heal as it moves through our lives. We also dive into…  ✨ What it means to let money find you even when you feel messy or imperfect  ✨ How money takes on the energetic imprint of the intentions and emotions it passes through  ✨ Simple daily practices to “witness” your money so it can relax and reorganize  ✨ Why avoidance around money is rarely laziness — and what it’s usually protecting you from  ✨ The connection between intimacy, generosity, and increased financial receptivity  ✨ How couples can co-create a shared field that expands both pleasure and prosperity This conversation is tender, revelatory, and wildly practical. Ry offers a new way of relating to money that brings more safety into your system, more flow into your life, and more grace into every financial exchange. If you’re craving a relationship with money that feels warm, conscious, and regenerative — this episode is for you. “Not all money is the same. It carries different vibratory qualities depending on the energies it’s passed through.”–The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 — Entering the portal: Blue Lotus, synchronicity & the energetic opening 04:38 — What Sacred Commerce is & why it’s a bridge beyond capitalism 10:32 — Wealth as spiritual: permission to thrive, earn, and support your lineage 14:25 — Widening the scope: giving back, sourcing energy beyond the self 19:09 — The truth about “enough”: resources, circulation & debunking zero-sum thinking 22:33 — Ceremony as a business tool: accessing other realms for support 26:14 — Wealth, privilege, and survivor’s guilt: metabolizing the complexity 30:27 — Asha’s big why: land conservation & land-back as sacred commerce 37:47 — Merging the magical & the logical: operating beyond a 3D-only business 43:41 — Human design & astrology as instructional systems for your body of work 50:37 — The power of offerings: plants, essences, and ceremonial support 57:22 — Your dharma type: the archetypal soul energy you are here to embody Links and Resources:Money Reset Connect with Ry Schwartz:LinkedIn Instagram ✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make  Rewire your nervous system for wealth, stop the money-in/money-out cycle, and create sustainable abundance.

138. The Energetics of Financial Boundaries

Have you ever wondered why money feels so much more spacious when you make one aligned decision instead of a thousand tiny ones every day? In this week’s episode of Plenty, I’m diving deep into one of the most overlooked pathways to relaxed wealth: financial boundaries. Not the rigid, budget-heavy kind that feel like punishment… but the kind that act like the riverbanks that keep your financial flow clear, directed, and easeful. I share how boundaries — financial and energetic — create more safety in your nervous system, more trust in your decisions, and more alignment between where your money goes and what truly matters to you. We explore: 🌿 Why decision fatigue drains not only your energy but your money 🌿 How to know (in your body) when something is a financial yes or no 🌿 The connection between your human design authority and aligned money choices 🌿 Real examples of my own financial boundaries, from client agreements to household spending 🌿 Why saying “no” to the misaligned is actually saying a deeper “yes” to yourself You’ll also hear simple ways to start practicing aligned yeses and embodied noes in tiny, everyday moments — which makes the bigger financial choices so much clearer. And I walk you through how to begin crafting the kinds of abundance agreements we use inside Relaxed Money so your money can flow where it’s meant to, without leaking into places that don’t nourish you. If you’ve ever felt like money decisions take more energy than you want to give… or you know your spending and earning could feel more regenerative and grounded… this episode will feel like an exhale.

137. From Coach to Performer: A Story of Midlife Becoming with Chela Davison

Have you ever realized that the identity you’ve built—the one that’s kept everything running—might also be the very thing keeping you from your next becoming? In this week’s episode of Plenty, I get to sit down with someone who has witnessed me through many of my own becomings: my longtime friend and former coach, Chela Davison. Our conversation is an intimate, funny, deeply human exploration of midlife unraveling as an initiation into deeper truth, creative recovery, and a fuller expression of self. Chela and I trace the arc of her journey from being the hyper-capable, endlessly resilient woman who could “make anything happen,” to the moment her internal generator finally sputtered out—and how that collapse ushered her into a two-year wintering season that ultimately birthed her acclaimed one-woman show, A Little Bit Much. We talk about the illusion of the breadwinner, the stories we project onto our partnerships, and the internalized cultural narratives that quietly shape our sense of worth. We also explore what it means to be “a little bit much” in a world that often prefers women palatable and contained—how to preserve our aliveness without overwhelming ourselves or others, and how to move from performative productivity into regenerative creativity. Chela’s story is a living example of following the energy, listening for what wants to be created, and allowing art to heal the artist first. This episode is full of laughter, truth telling, permission, and the kind of midlife wisdom that only comes from letting something fall apart so something truer can emerge. I can’t wait for you to listen. In this episode you’ll discover:✨ Over-identifying with resilience led to burnout ✨ Creative recovery came from stepping back and slowing down ✨ Challenging and redefining breadwinner narratives ✨ Embracing being “a little bit much” as strength ✨ Creative growth comes from staying with the process “I looked around and asked myself, ‘Who am I willing to disappoint to get my life back?’ And the first person I realized I was willing to disappoint… was me.” — Chela Davidson🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Resilience & Identity 00:26 – Guest Background & Creative Recovery 03:00 – Turning 40, Maturity & Evolving Identity 05:12 – Childhood Messaging & Self-Perception 07:35 – Career Success, Challenges & Vulnerability 09:13 – Burnout, Loss & Identity Crisis 11:51 – Reclaiming Creative Life Force 13:07 – Resentment, Breadwinning & Gender Expectations 16:21 – Healing Through Vulnerability & Relationship Dynamics 19:17 – The Influence of Patriarchy & Processing Resentment 21:25 – Creative Recovery, New Projects & Self-Discovery 27:22 – Vulnerability in Creative Processes & Community 38:19 – Social Media, Creative Resistance & Staying With the Work 44:18 – Art, Healing & Creative Integrity 50:42 – The Journey of Art, Commerce & Creative Community 54:49 – Closing Thoughts & Resources Links and Resources:Free Money Breakthrough Guide Connect with Chela Davison:Website Wizdotainment A Little Bit Much Instagram ✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make  Rewire your nervous system for wealth, stop the money-in/money-out cycle, and create sustainable abundance.

136. How to Feel Safe Earning More (Without Sabotaging or Overspending It)

Have you ever made more money… only to find yourself overspending, shrinking back, or feeling anxious instead of abundant? If so, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing wrong with you. In this episode, I explore one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of financial growth: your money nervous system thermostat. We often think that earning more should feel good, natural, or easy. But the truth is, if a part of your body doesn’t feel safe with more, it will unconsciously pull you back to what’s familiar, even if what’s familiar is financial stress, inconsistency, or sabotage. I share:  ✨ Why lifestyle inflation, overspending, or freezing with money isn’t a lack of discipline — it’s a nervous system response.  ✨ How our childhood environment (not just money memories) sets our internal “thermostat” for how much abundance feels safe.  ✨ The science behind why expansion often triggers threat responses like guilt, fear, or shame — even when something good is happening.  ✨ Powerful, practical tools to build your capacity to earn more and keep more, including nervous system healing practices and co-regulation in community. I also share personal stories — including the moment Louise Hay offered me my first book deal and why my immediate response was a shame spiral rather than celebration. This is such a potent example of how expansion can overwhelm our body if we haven’t updated our internal capacity to receive more. You’ll walk away understanding:  🌿 Why financial strategy can’t stick without nervous system safety  🌿 How to start signaling “you are safe” during both contraction and expansion 🌿 The key questions to ask your body to uncover the stories and sensations running the show 🌿 How safe community accelerates your capacity to hold more wealth with ease and consistency This episode will help you stop the patterns that have kept you cycling between making more and losing it — and instead begin to create a nervous system that can hold, grow, and enjoy wealth. When you practice feeling safe with more, more becomes normal. "If you've ever made more money only to find yourself shrinking back, overspending, or sabotaging it, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you — it’s because a part of you doesn’t feel safe with more." –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Welcome + Why earning more can feel unsafe 02:10 Justin Bieber example: making more ≠ keeping more 04:05 Lifestyle creep + hedonic adaptation explained 06:00 What your “money nervous system thermostat” really is 08:15 How childhood environment shapes your financial capacity 10:20 Why expansion can trigger sabotage, fear, or shame 12:45 Overspending, overgiving, or freezing: different dysregulation patterns 14:30 Tools to signal safety during financial expansion 17:05 Kate’s Hay House book-deal story + co-regulation 19:40 Questions to ask your body to expand your money capacity 21:30 Closing + The Money Reset invitation Links and Resources:Neurosomatic Intelligence Relaxed Money Live ✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make Making more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

135. Sacred Commerce: Asha Ramakrishna on Money, Spirit & Ancestral Healing

What if your business was a temple? In this week’s episode, Kate talks with Asha Ramakrishna—priestess, molecular biologist, and author—about Sacred Commerce: an emergent framework bridging capitalism and consciousness. Asha reveals the four ethos of sacred commerce—Feel Good, Be Wealthy, Give Back, and Liberate—and shares how merging the magical and the logical allows us to heal our relationship with money and purpose.

134. Debt, Shame and the Stories We Don't Tell

What if dissolving shame is the missing step between you and real financial momentum? In this solo episode of Plenty, Kate unpacks the tight grip of debt shame and financial secrecy—and why hiding from the numbers stalls your progress far more than the numbers themselves. She reframes debt as “invoices for blessings already received” and makes the critical distinction between high-interest consumer debt and debt that makes you money (the positive “spread” when your return outpaces your interest). You’ll also hear why all-or-nothing thinking is a nervous-system red flag, and how telling someone safe is often the first step to clarity and action. We cover: releasing shame by bringing things into the light, building capacity to “do the math,” and seeing nuanced opportunities—so you can either dissolve unhelpful debt or strategically leverage it for wealth. Listen now to discover:  ✨ Why shame halts financial progress—and how sharing it sets you free  ✨ “Invoices for blessings already received” as a practical reframe for debt  ✨ The difference between consumer debt and return-producing leverage (the spread)  ✨ How dysregulation fuels avoidant money habits—and what to do instead  ✨ A simple truth-telling step: tell someone safe and start looking at the numbers “I call debt invoices for blessings already received.” — Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Why debt shame keeps you stuck; welcoming honesty and light 00:27 Show intro: money, time, energy, and a life of plenty 01:27 Debt, secrecy, and why shame halts financial progress 02:22 Tell the truth (to someone safe); vulnerability has to be earned 03:12 Debt ≠ bad: using credit as a wealth-building tool when appropriate 04:09 Credit, solvency, and why “no credit” can limit leverage 06:03 “Invoices for blessings already received” (student loans, credit cards, mortgages) 06:40 Beware false binaries; nuance requires a regulated nervous system 07:12 The spread: borrowing at 4% to earn 100%—a positive use of debt 09:32 High-interest consumer debt vs. productive debt (don’t pay 20% APR) 11:05 Normalizing the month-to-month “float” in real businesses 13:48 From credit-card debt to 8-figure growth: dissolving shame to act 15:11 When fear blocks math: build capacity, then choose the smart move 16:22 Two actions: tell someone safe; start doing something about it 17:19 Seeing you may have been smarter than you thought (the numbers help) 18:19 Learn the lesson, integrate it, and change the pattern 19:36 Any past decision can become wealth once shame’s story is dropped Links and Resources:Brené Brown Relaxed Money ✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make Making more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

133. Healing the Masculine: A Conversation with Dr. Brad Jacobs on Father Wounds & Modern Medicine

What if healing the masculine is the key to deeper love, better health, and a more peaceful world? In this powerful episode of Plenty, I sit down with Dr. Brad Jacobs, an integrative precision medicine doctor and thought leader who bridges Western science, Eastern wisdom, and emotional intelligence. Together, we explore what it really looks like to heal father wounds, move beyond toxic masculinity, and find balance between strength and softness—both within men and in our relationships with them. We talk about Brad’s personal journey from reactivity and anger to grounded emotional presence—a transformation that reshaped how he parents, partners, and practices medicine. You’ll hear how he learned to hold boundaries without shutting down, create safety without control, and embody a new model of masculine leadership rooted in awareness, humility, and heart.  We also dive into how our emotional patterns influence our health, the importance of processing anger and stress through the body (not just the mind), and what happens when we offer ourselves—and our partners—compassion instead of judgment. Brad shares how practices like Hakomi therapy, mindfulness, and even simple breath awareness can help us release inherited emotional “sludge” and build resilience from the inside out.

132. When You've Done Everything and Your Reality Still Isn't Changing

Have you ever felt like you’ve done everything right—all the mindset work, all the strategy, all the “manifestation” tools—and yet, your life still isn’t matching what you desire? I know how frustrating that can feel. In this episode, I’m diving deep into the hidden reasons why your outer world might not be shifting, even though you’ve been showing up and doing the work. I walk you through three often-overlooked layers that can keep us stuck in repeating patterns—and how to gently start releasing them so you can finally experience real change: 💫 Nervous system repatterning: How our bodies can unconsciously “reset” us back to old comfort zones, and why feeling safe in expansion is key to sustaining success. 💫 Secondary gain: The subtle ways we might benefit from not getting what we want (and how to lovingly explore those patterns without shame). 💫 Radical approval: Why disapproving of “what is” keeps us trapped—and how genuine acceptance can become the fastest way to create the life you’ve been longing for. You’ll leave this conversation feeling grounded, supported, and equipped with practical tools you can use today—like my favorite simple nervous system exercise that can help you shift your energy in under a minute. Because the truth is, the moment you stop waiting for life to be perfect and start approving of what is, you’ve already changed everything. 🌿 🎧 Tune in now, and let’s explore how to align your body, mind, and energy with the abundance that’s already within reach. 👉 katenorthrup.com/reset — Download The Money Reset, my free guided experience to rewire your nervous system for wealth and calm your relationship with money. “The fastest way to get what you want is to approve of the way things are right now.”–Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Abundance and Life's Finite Nature 00:37 Frustrations in Personal Growth and Change 01:06 Understanding Secondary Gain in Personal Experiences 02:20 Neural Patterning and Its Impact on Health 08:04 Exploring Financial Avoidance and Secondary Gain 10:10 Fear of Success and Its Implications 12:26 The Importance of Approval in Life 14:29 Transforming Disapproval into Approval 19:30 Key Takeaways for Personal TransformationLinks and Resources:Mama Gena Loving What Is, By Byron KatieWhat if you could witness a story as it’s being born — before it’s polished, before it’s perfect, before the world sees it?

What if the key to thriving wasn’t more grit—but sacred rest, radical honesty, and self-permission?

130. Why I Don’t Set Time-Bound Goals (and What I Do Instead)

Have you ever noticed how setting a goal with a deadline can sometimes make you feel more anxious than inspired? In this episode, I share a personal story about how I realized that my attachment to time-bound goals was actually creating stress, scarcity, and disconnection from the very abundance I teach and strive to live by. During one of our biggest program enrollments, I experienced a powerful shift: instead of tracking numbers and pushing for results, I decided to remove the “T” from my SMART goals—the “time-bound” part. The moment I released the false urgency and pressure of having to meet a goal by a specific date, something extraordinary happened. I felt lighter, more creative, and deeply connected to Source again. I talk about: ✨ How time-bound goals can trigger scarcity and stress rather than motivation. ✨ The difference between “relevant” goals and what I now call resonant goals—those that feel aligned with your heart and purpose. ✨ The practice that helped me detach from outcomes and stay rooted in service, joy, and flow. ✨ Why focusing on the journey, rather than the destination, is where true fulfillment—and sustainable success—lives. By removing the timeline, I opened myself to infinite possibilities—and ironically, it turned out to be our most successful launch ever. But the real win wasn’t in the numbers—it was in how it felt: spacious, peaceful, and abundant. So if your goals have been feeling heavy or pressured, this episode will invite you to loosen your grip, release the clock, and reconnect to what truly matters. When you stop forcing outcomes on a schedule, you make space for magic. Listen in, and let’s explore what happens when you take off the “T.” “When I have an idea that a goal has to be achieved in a certain amount of time, it creates stress and scarcity in my body. When I remove the timeline, I return to abundance.”–Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Abundance 00:35 The Concept of Goal Setting 03:37 Challenges with Time-Bound Goals 09:11 Removing False Urgency 11:16 The Journey vs. the Destination 13:10 Conclusion and Invitation to Change ✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make Making more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

129. Monica Yates on Being the Breadwinner, Burning Out & Finding Her Feminine Again

✨ Have you ever wondered what happens when being the breadwinner, burning out, and finding your feminine again all collide? In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with the incredible Monica Yates — author, podcast host, and unapologetic voice on money, relationships, and feminine energy. Monica and I share an unusual common thread: our journeys both began with learning about the menstrual cycle and eventually led us into nervous system healing. From there, we dive deep into what it really means to let go, receive, and redefine power as women in today’s world. Monica opens up about her personal experience of losing and regaining her period, stepping into her feminine through unexpected ways, and learning to soften while still holding the role of breadwinner. We talk about the tension so many of us feel between craving control for “safety” and the deeper truth that real safety comes through trust and surrender. We also explore:What it looks like to be a high-earning woman in a relationship and how to navigate polarity when the traditional breadwinner roles flip.Why nervous system healing is essential for abundance and fulfillment.The hidden costs of trying to “do it all” — and the joy that comes when we actually allow ourselves to receive.The importance of honoring both the masculine and feminine, in ourselves and in our partnershipsMonica’s story is refreshingly honest, playful, and deeply validating. Whether you’re navigating being the financial provider, healing your relationship with money, or simply longing to put down the reins sometimes, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and invite you into a new way of relating — with yourself, your partner, and your resources. I loved every moment of this conversation with Monica and I can’t wait for you to hear it. 👉 Tune in, let your shoulders drop, and allow yourself to receive the wisdom here. “The need to control is an illusion of safety.

128. How to Stay in Abundance When Everyone Around You Is in Lack

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 youThis 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.

What you'll learn:Worthiness first, money second: How rooting in inherent worth transforms your relationship with money and expands real abundance (without the hustle-and-prove loop)Sobriety—many paths, same heartbeat: Christine shares a non-dogmatic approach to changing your relationship with alcohol and choosing self-tenderness over self-punishmentMasks that drain us: Recognizing people-pleasing, "good girl" conditioning, and hyper-independence—and how to gently retire these exhausting patternsThe "life-death-life" cycle: Why true thriving includes endings, mess, and rebirth—and how to meet transitions with both grit and honeyPleasure as spiritual pathway: Rewriting inherited scripts that glorify suffering and renounce the body to reclaim joy as sacredReceiving with dignity: Especially for women of color, claiming fair compensation as part of collective healing—not a betrayal of your valuesThis conversation will leave you with permission to stop performing your worth and start living from it. About ChristineChristine is the author of I Am Worthy and I Am Diosa, a psychotherapist and facilitator whose work blends trauma healing, spirituality, and practical tools for women’s empowerment.  “We cannot be in our soul led place on a bed of lies, we just can’t.” –Christine Gutierrez🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff 🎤00:25 Guest Introduction: Christine Gutierrez 02:20 Exploring Worthiness in Money Work 05:08 Spirituality vs. Mundane Life 09:37 Paths to Sobriety and Healing 13:33 Masks of Over-Functioning Women 19:02 Deserving More: Beyond Mediocrity 26:45 Patterns of Worthiness and Struggle 33:39 Undoing Lies of Unworthiness 36:22 The Role of Compassion in Advocacy 40:00 Relationship with Money and Worthiness 44:11 Empowerment through Financial Growth 45:34 The Game of Worthiness Links and Resources:I am Diosa Terri Cole Clarissa Pinkola Estes Nisha Connect with Christine Gutierrez:Instagram Youtube I am Worthy ✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?

What if I told you AI could help you craft the perfect hair restoration protocol, write launch copy that actually converts, AND design a nervous system reset—all while you’re making dinner? I’ll be honest—I used to think AI was just another shiny object that would steal our creativity and leave us even more scattered than we already are. But then I had this incredible conversation with my dear friend Natalie MacNeil (she’s basically the queen of embodied, ethical AI), and it completely shifted everything for me.Now?

The results our community is getting? They’re honestly blowing my mind.Whether you’re AI-curious, completely resistant, or already diving deep, I hope this conversation shows you how technology can actually amplify your humanity instead of replacing it.✨ What we’re diving into: 🧠 How I went from AI skeptic to conscious collaborator 🎻 The sweetest way AI helped my family during a big transition 💇‍♀️ My custom hair protocol that actually works with my hormones ❤️‍🩹 An AI-designed nervous system and HRV reset (that shocked me with how spot-on it was) 📈 Why Abby AI is giving better money coaching than I could do myself 📝 The SheMakesBank AI breakthrough that transformed our launch strategyThe truth is, whether you’re using AI to organize your thoughts or plan your week, there’s a way to make it feel deeply aligned with who you are.🎧 Ready to listen?

119. Fasting, Feminine Power & Vitality at Every Age with Dr. Mindy Pelz

Have you ever wondered if the way you’re eating and fasting is actually working with your body—or against it? Discover how to transform your relationship with food and fasting by honoring your body's natural rhythms. I am so thrilled to bring you this powerful conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, the author of Fast Like a Girl, whose work has been life-changing for me personally. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to honor the rhythms of our bodies—especially as women—and how fasting, when done in sync with our cycles (or the moon!), can be a radical act of self-care and empowerment. Dr. Mindy shares her own story of hitting a hormonal wall in her 40s, how she healed herself through lifestyle changes, and how she went on to help thousands of women do the same. We talk about the phases of the menstrual cycle, why the one-size-fits-all approach to dieting is broken, and what to do if you don’t have a cycle or are in perimenopause or menopause. ✨ In this conversation, we explore:🌀 How to sync your fasting practice with your cycle—or the moon if you’re no longer cycling🥔 Why sweet potatoes might just be your new hormonal BFF🔥 The hidden role of cortisol in weight gain and burnout (and how to protect your energy)🧠 How the female brain changes with age—and why ketones may be the key to vitality later in life🌕 The magic of cyclical living and how it can be a portal to deep self-trust and powerWhether you’re navigating irregular cycles, burnout, or just craving a more nourishing relationship with your body, this episode is here to remind you: you are nature. You are rhythmic. You are powerful. And when you align with that, everything changes. Enjoy this beautiful conversation—I know I did. 💛 “Why would we eat the same way throughout our whole cycle? Why have we been searching for that one diet? This is why every woman has failed at dieting—because we never go, oh wait… I’m a rhythmic being.” - Dr. Mindy Pelz 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:17 Introduction of Dr. Mindy Peltz and Her Work 01:54 Discussion on Menstrual Cycle Awareness 03:55 Lifestyle Changes and Hormonal Health 05:48 Fasting Cycles and Hormonal Rhythms 08:12 Understanding Stress and Its Effects 15:44 Fasting Trends and Women's Health 19:15 Mapping Fasting to Lunar Cycles 22:33 Astrological Connections to Lunar Phases 26:46 Balancing Fasting with Hormonal Health 30:57 Signs for Increasing Carbohydrates 36:58 Role of Postmenopausal Women in History 39:38 Writing Process for Books 58:57 Embracing Change and New Beginnings 1:02:51 Conclusion and Future Aspirations Links and Resources:Eat Like a Girl Connect with Dr. Mindy Pelz:Website Resetter Podcast Instagram Facebook Youtube🧠✨ Want to write words that not only sound good—but actually make you money?
