Plenty with Kate Northrup

Most conversations about manifestation focus on changing your thoughts. But what if the real reason your affirmations aren't working has nothing to do with your mindset?In this solo episode, Kate Northrup shares the missing piece she believes is absent from nearly every manifestation conversation: the body. Drawing on decades of studying manifestation—from listening to Abraham Hicks cassette tapes as a child to her work in neuroscience and nervous system regulation—Kate explains why lasting change doesn't come from thinking differently, but from feeling differently.She explores why your nervous system determines what you're able to receive, how stress keeps you stuck in familiar patterns, and why trying to force a higher vibration often backfires. You'll also learn why manifestation isn't about controlling outcomes but expanding your capacity to safely receive what you truly desire.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" manifestation practices without seeing results, this episode offers a grounded, body-first perspective that may completely change the way you approach creating the life you want."Manifesting is not about changing what you think. It's about changing how you feel."  - Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Why Affirmations Don't Work01:38 Kate's First Manifestation Lesson04:15 The Problem with Positive Thinking06:01 What Manifestation Really Is08:45 Why the Body Comes First11:55 Your Nervous System Sets the Limit15:02 Feeling Safe to Receive17:37 Stress, Capacity & Manifestation20:19 Practice the Feeling First21:13 Body First, Bank Account SecondLinks and Resources:Kate's InstagramZiva Magic Maker✨ What If Manifesting Wasn't About Trying Harder?Most people think manifestation is about positive thinking or visualizing what they want.But you can't manifest from a stressed nervous system.

What if manifestation isn't about trying harder—but about becoming more coherent?In this expansive conversation, Kate sits down with meditation teacher and founder of Ziva Meditation, Emily Fletcher, to explore the relationship between meditation, manifestation, neuroscience, and what Emily calls "the field." Together, they unpack the idea that everything we create in the visible world begins in the unseen, and that the key to manifesting isn't forcing outcomes but aligning our minds, bodies, and nervous systems with what we truly desire.Emily shares how a season of profound personal upheaval became the catalyst for a deeper understanding of trust, intuition, and divine guidance. She explains why meditation is more than a stress-reduction tool, describing it as a gateway into a fourth state of consciousness where creativity, coherence, and healing become more accessible. Kate and Emily discuss what actually happens in the brain during deep meditation, how stress shapes our physiology, and why creating inner safety changes the way we interact with the world around us.The conversation also explores the difference between pursuing goals from trauma versus purpose, how to distinguish intuitive desires from addictive longing, and why manifestation is less about magical thinking than intentionally shifting the way we perceive and respond to reality. Throughout the episode, they emphasize that our greatest desires are often connected to something larger than ourselves, inviting listeners to imagine not only the lives they want to create, but the world they want to help build.Whether you're new to meditation or looking to deepen your understanding of manifestation, this episode offers a thoughtful blend of ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and practical insight into creating a life that feels both aligned and deeply fulfilling.“When you access the field, you get access to what you want.”  - Emily Fletcher  🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 What Is “The Field”?02:28 Emily’s Raspberry Lime Spindrift Story07:35 Trauma vs. Purpose-Driven Success16:42 What Meditation Has to Do with Manifestation21:08 Accessing the Unmanifest33:28 What Happens in the Brain During Meditation44:34 Why Most People Don’t Know What They Want55:24 Manifesting for the Greater Good1:09:09 Is Manifestation Just Magical Thinking?1:27:10 Finding Hope in Difficult Times1:41:16 Emily’s Magic Maker Workshop Links and Resources:Kate’s InstagramZiva Magic MakerConnect with Emily Fletcher:InstagramFacebook✨ What If Manifesting Wasn't About Trying Harder?Most people think manifestation is about positive thinking or visualizing what they want.But what if the real key is learning how to calm your nervous system, access a deeper state of consciousness, and align your mind and body before taking action?That's exactly what Magic Maker is designed to help you do.In this free three-day experience, Emily Fletcher combines ancient meditation practices with modern neuroscience to help you understand how manifestation actually works—and how to create lasting change from the inside out.Inside Magic Maker, you'll discover:🔹 Why meditation and manifestation work better together🔹 How to access "the field" where creativity and possibility begin🔹 The difference between intuitive desire and fear-based striving🔹 Practical tools to create more clarity, coherence, and ease in your lifeManifestation isn't about forcing life to go your way.It's about becoming the kind of person who naturally attracts the experiences, opportunities, and relationships that align with your deepest purpose.👉 Reserve your free spot for Magic Maker at katenorthrup.com/magic. ✨

What if everything you've been taught about menopause is incomplete? In this special mother-daughter conversation, Kate sits down with her mom, Dr. Christiane Northrup, to unpack decades of research and clinical experience on hormones, aging, and women's health. Together, they explore why menopause is not a disease to fear, but a powerful biological transition that can support greater wisdom, vitality, and connection.Dr. Northrup shares how her groundbreaking work challenged conventional medicine long before these conversations became mainstream, including her advocacy for bioidentical hormones, natural progesterone, and treating women as whole human beings rather than collections of symptoms. She explains the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause, what women can realistically expect, and why so many common symptoms can be addressed with the right combination of lifestyle, nutrition, movement, and individualized care.Kate and Christiane also dive into the relationship between stress, fascia, emotional health, and the nervous system, exploring how unresolved emotions can manifest physically and why healing often requires more than simply treating symptoms. Along the way, they discuss alcohol, sleep, muscle health, cholesterol myths, hormone testing, longevity, and the importance of questioning outdated medical assumptions.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Northrup encourages women to become active participants in their own health, combining evidence-based medicine with intuition, critical thinking, and self-trust.Whether you're approaching perimenopause, already in menopause, or simply interested in optimizing your long-term health, this episode offers practical guidance, myth-busting insights, and a refreshing perspective on one of the most transformative seasons of a woman's life.“Menopause is not a disease.” - Dr. Christiane Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Why Menopause Isn't Inevitable02:10 Why This Conversation Matters04:01 Oprah & The Wisdom of Menopause10:24 What Perimenopause Really Is13:04 Aging, Wisdom & Brain Health15:36 Alcohol, Hormones & Health20:20 Simple Ways to Support Your Hormones24:52 Stress, Fascia & Emotional Health39:41 The Biggest Menopause Myth47:54 Rethinking Cholesterol & NutritionLinks and Resources:Kate's InstagramAmata LifeConnect with Dr. Christiane Northrup:WebsiteInstagramFacebookEmail✨ What If You Could Measure How Well You're Actually Aging?Most of us wait until something feels wrong before paying attention to our health.But what if you could understand how your body is aging before symptoms appear—and make small changes that have a meaningful impact on your long-term health?That's why I love Amata Life.Their biological age test goes beyond your birthday to give you a clearer picture of what's happening inside your body, helping you make more informed decisions about your health, energy, and longevity.Inside your results, you'll discover:🔹 Your biological age compared to your chronological age🔹 Personalized insights into your overall health and aging🔹 Actionable recommendations to support long-term vitality🔹 A way to track how lifestyle changes are impacting your body over timeKnowledge doesn't just give you information.It gives you agency.Because healthy aging isn't about chasing perfection—it's about understanding your body and making choices that help you feel your best for years to come.👉 Learn more about Amata Life and order your biological age test at katenorthrup.com/amata. ✨

What if the reason your creative project is taking longer than expected isn’t because you’re doing it wrong—but because it’s changing you in the process?In this deeply personal episode, Kate takes listeners behind the scenes of the book she has been writing for the past three years and the surprising lessons the process has taught her about identity, creativity, timing, and trust.Reflecting on the journeys behind her previous books, Money: A Love Story and Do Less, Kate shares how different this experience has been. Unlike her earlier projects, which seemed to flow onto the page with relative ease, this new book has demanded something much deeper. Rather than simply being a project she is creating, Kate reveals how the book itself has become a catalyst for her own growth, forcing her to confront old patterns, release expectations, and let go of the version of herself that wants certainty and control.Along the way, she opens up about the pressure of comparing her timeline to other authors, the challenges of unfinished work, and the emotional experience of sitting in the messy middle of a creative process without knowing exactly how it will turn out. She explores what it means to trust the timing of a project, especially when it refuses to be rushed.Kate also reflects on a pivotal season in her life following Mike’s bicycle accident in 2022 and how that experience fundamentally shifted her relationship with achievement, productivity, and nervous system safety. She shares how years of healing work allowed her to respond differently in a moment of crisis—choosing rest, support, and presence instead of pushing through at all costs.This episode is an honest conversation about creativity, expansion, and the hidden transformation that often happens before a meaningful piece of work is ready to enter the world. It is a reminder that sometimes the project we think we are building is actually building us.If you have an unfinished book, a creative dream, a business idea, or a project that feels slower than you expected, this episode offers reassurance that growth is not always linear—and that the timing of your work may be unfolding exactly as it needs to.“It is changing me, and it is working me, and it's surprising me, and it's making me grow up in all these ways, and it is such a profound ego death.” — Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Why Kate Ignored Sales Numbers During Launch03:18 Getting Sick 24 Hours Before Cart Close07:10 The Talk That Led to Kate’s First Book Deal11:45 Moving Into a New Chapter of Life16:52 The More Structure, The More Freedom20:45 Breaking the Nervous System Scarcity Loop26:08 Why Desperation Repels Money31:14 How Live Launches Reveal What’s Working37:40 The AI Tool That Changed Everything44:58 Focusing on Humans Instead of MetricsEpisode TranscriptRead the Full TranscriptLinks and Resources:Kate's InstagramThe Author Threshold✨  What If Writing Your Book Wasn’t About More Time… But More Capacity?So many people feel called to write a book — but the timing never feels right, life gets busy, and the idea stays on the back burner.But writing a book isn’t just about getting words on a page.It’s about becoming the person who can hold the expansion of sharing your message with the world.That’s what Keira Brinton helps you do inside The Author Threshold.She blends writing, nervous system work, and alignment to help you move through what’s keeping your book inside of you.Because your message isn’t meant to stay an idea forever.If there’s a book within you that won’t leave you alone… this could be your next step. ✨👉 Join Keira’s free workshop.

What happens when the thing consuming most of your time is producing the least amount of your results?In this inspiring case study episode, Kate sits down with longtime entrepreneur, author, and women’s health educator Nicole Jardim to unpack a business breakthrough that completely changed the way she works, leads, and grows her company.Nicole has spent more than a decade building a trusted brand helping women heal their periods and hormonal health. As the founder of Fix Your Period and the Institute for Menstrual Health, she has impacted thousands of women and trained practitioners around the world. But despite her success, she found herself exhausted, stretched too thin, and spending most of her energy on the part of her business that was generating the smallest return.After joining Business By Design and attending an in-person mastermind, Nicole experienced a breakthrough that had been hiding in plain sight. Through a simple but powerful analysis of where her time was actually going versus where her revenue was coming from, she realized she had been investing the majority of her effort into a business segment that was contributing only a fraction of her income.In this conversation, Nicole shares the emotional resistance that surfaced when she was forced to reconsider a brand she had spent years building, the challenge of simplifying after years of adding complexity, and why even experienced entrepreneurs need mentorship and outside perspective to see what’s right in front of them.She also discusses how she completely transformed the launch strategy for her practitioner certification program, creating a more immersive experience for prospective students, increasing engagement, raising tuition, and ultimately enrolling more students while creating a stronger sense of community and connection.Together, Kate and Nicole explore the realities of long-term entrepreneurship, how the online business landscape has changed over the last several years, and why growth does not have to come from working harder. Instead, they reveal how clarity, focus, and strategic simplification can unlock results that feel both more profitable and more sustainable.This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn’t learning something new—it’s finally seeing what has been obvious all along.If you’ve ever felt overextended, overwhelmed, or uncertain about where to focus your energy, Nicole’s story offers a compelling example of what becomes possible when you stop dividing your attention and start aligning your efforts with what is actually working. “When you're inside of your business, you become so blind to the things that are completely visible to you.” — Nicole Jardim🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Working Less and Making More03:42 The Business That Was Draining Her Energy08:55 Why Nicole Joined Business By Design14:26 The Eye-Opening Revenue Breakdown20:11 When Mentorship Changes Everything27:38 Letting Go of What No Longer Works34:17 Simplifying a Decade-Old Business40:54 The Launch Changes That Increased Revenue48:36 Raising Prices and Serving Students Better56:41 Building a More Profitable Business with Less Work Links and Resources:Kate's InstagramBusiness Breakthrough ExperienceBusiness By DesignConnect with Nicole Jardim:WebsiteInstagram ✨  What If Growing Your Business Created More Freedom, Not Less?Most entrepreneurs think they need to work harder to make more money.But the businesses that thrive long-term are built on systems, structure, and repeatable processes.That’s exactly what Business By Design helps you create.When we implemented James Wedmore’s frameworks:🔹 We increased launch revenue by 63%🔹 We increased earnings per lead by 31%🔹 We became more profitable while launching half as oftenBecause the right systems don’t just grow your revenue.They give you your life back.Inside Business By Design, you’ll learn:🔹 How to create scalable systems that support growth🔹 How to build stronger offers and customer journeys🔹 How to increase revenue without increasing hustle🔹 How to create a business that generates more freedom and flexibilityThe entrepreneurs who thrive over the next decade won’t be the ones working harder.They’ll be the ones with the clearest systems and most repeatable paths to revenue.👉 Enroll in Business By Design and start building a business that works better—not one that requires more from you. ✨

What if the most important thing you do during a launch is absolutely nothing?In this deeply personal behind-the-scenes episode, Kate shares the unexpected story of what happened during the final twenty-four hours of her biggest launch of the year—and why spending the last day lying on the couch reading a novel may have been the strategy all along.After becoming physically ill the night before cart close, Kate found herself with no choice but to step away from the dashboards, the metrics, and the constant temptation to monitor results. Instead, she was forced into a practice of trust. What unfolded became a powerful lesson about nervous system safety, leadership, surrender, and the kind of business that creates genuine freedom.Kate opens up about the emotional reality behind a multi-seven-figure launch, including the moments of fear, pressure, and scarcity that surfaced during the enrollment period. She shares how the tools she teaches inside Relaxed Money helped her regulate her nervous system, move through panic, and make clearer business decisions from a place of groundedness rather than urgency.She also reflects on a major season of personal expansion, including moving into a new home, redefining what “home” means, and navigating profound shifts happening within her family. Along the way, she explores the surprising connection between physical symptoms, emotional growth, and stepping into a larger version of life than she previously believed was possible.This episode is also a candid look at what actually drove the success of the launch itself. Kate reveals why she and Mike chose not to monitor sales throughout the enrollment period, how focusing on people instead of numbers changed the experience, and what they learned about building systems that allow a business to operate successfully without constant oversight.If you’ve ever felt trapped by outcomes, consumed by metrics, or convinced that success requires constant effort and vigilance, this conversation offers a different perspective—one rooted in trust, structure, nervous system safety, and sustainable growth.Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that true freedom is not created by working harder. It’s created by building systems, support, and internal capacity that allow you to step back, trust the process, and receive what you’ve worked so hard to create.“We cannot receive money if our body does not feel safe.” — Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Why Kate Ignored Sales Numbers During Launch03:18 Getting Sick 24 Hours Before Cart Close07:10 The Talk That Led to Kate’s First Book Deal11:45 Moving Into a New Chapter of Life16:52 The More Structure, The More Freedom20:45 Breaking the Nervous System Scarcity Loop26:08 Why Desperation Repels Money31:14 How Live Launches Reveal What’s Working37:40 The AI Tool That Changed Everything44:58 Focusing on Humans Instead of Metrics Links and Resources:Kate's InstagramThe Business Breakthrough ExperienceThe Digital CEO Dashboard✨   What If the Breakthrough in Your Business Isn’t More Hustle?Created by my friend and 7-figure launch mentor, James Wedmore, The Business Breakthrough Experience is a free 3-part live training designed to help entrepreneurs identify the gaps, bottlenecks, and blind spots keeping their business stuck.Because most people don’t need more information.They need clarity on what actually moves the needle.Inside the experience, you’ll explore:🔹 What’s slowing your business growth🔹 The mindset + strategy shifts that create momentum🔹 How to build a more scalable digital business🔹 What’s actually working right now in online businessThis isn’t about doing more.It’s about finally seeing what needs to change.👉 Register for The Business Breakthrough Experience and start creating real momentum in your business. ✨

What actually makes an online business work today?And why are so many entrepreneurs still struggling—even with more tools, AI, content, and strategies than ever before?In this expansive and deeply honest conversation, Kate sits down with longtime entrepreneur and business educator James Wedmore to unpack the timeless principles behind sustainable online business growth, why most people overspend while under-learning, and what truly creates transformation in both business and life.James shares the behind-the-scenes reality of spending five years building his business before seeing meaningful traction, the mindset shifts that helped him survive those early years, and why he believes the future belongs to entrepreneurs who understand human psychology, messaging, embodiment, and emotional resilience—not just tactics.Together, Kate and James explore the dangerous obsession with shortcuts, why most people misunderstand marketing, and the deeper emotional patterns underneath entrepreneurship, money, and self-worth. They also dive into the changing landscape of online education, AI, and digital products—and why transformation-based businesses are far from dead.James breaks down the core business principles he believes will still work 200 years from now: understanding people deeply, creating real value, learning how to communicate clearly, and building a business from stewardship instead of constant reinvention.This episode is part business masterclass, part emotional recalibration, and part wake-up call for anyone who wants to create meaningful work without getting lost in the noise of the online industry.If you’re a coach, creator, entrepreneur, or someone trying to build a business that actually lasts, this conversation will completely change the way you think about marketing, messaging, profit, and personal growth.“The future belongs to the people who understand transformation—not just information.” — James Wedmore “The level of stewardship required for the level of life you want is the work.” — Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 The Entrepreneurial Struggle03:45 The 50% Profit Rule11:08 Common Money Mistakes19:58 Building Real Wealth29:12 Timeless Marketing Principles35:13 Are Online Courses Dead?36:34 Transformation vs. Information52:47 AI & Human Connection1:21:14 Letting Go of Control1:43:30 The Power of Replication Links and Resources:Kate's InstagramThe Business Breakthrough ExperienceThe Digital CEO DashboardConnect with James Wedmore:WebsiteInstagram ✨   What If the Breakthrough in Your Business Isn’t More Hustle?Created by my friend and 7-figure launch mentor, James Wedmore, The Business Breakthrough Experience is a free 3-part live training designed to help entrepreneurs identify the gaps, bottlenecks, and blind spots keeping their business stuck.Because most people don’t need more information.They need clarity on what actually moves the needle.Inside the experience, you’ll explore:🔹 What’s slowing your business growth🔹 The mindset + strategy shifts that create momentum🔹 How to build a more scalable digital business🔹 What’s actually working right now in online businessThis isn’t about doing more.It’s about finally seeing what needs to change.👉 Register for The Business Breakthrough Experience and start creating real momentum in your business. ✨

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?

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 Success04:09 The Pressure of Building a Personal Brand07:30 Realizing Outer Freedom Wasn’t Enough10:37 Motherhood, Identity Shifts & Partnership11:53 Women, Ambition & Work-Life Balance27:52 Growing Up Feeling Different + Chasing Success36:11 Nervous System Healing + Functional Freeze40:00 Rebuilding Success from a More Aligned Model44:42 Relationships, Vulnerability & Emotional Safety52:00 Final Reflections + Freedom Beyond MoneyLinks and Resources:Kate's InstagramRecalibration Field GuideConnect with Natalie Ellis:Boss BabeWebsiteFreedom-based Business BookFacebookInstagram Facebook✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?If you're capable, ambitious, and earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you have to hold together — this one's for you.The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty.

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.This episode is part real estate breakdown, part wealth philosophy, and part honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build something long-term — even when the math doesn’t immediately “make sense.”Whether you’re curious about investing in real estate, building multiple income streams, or simply thinking differently about money and freedom, this conversation will expand the way you think about wealth.“It’s impossible to separate financial decisions from emotions.” - Kate Northrup “Real estate allows this kind of fun thing where you can create equity, leverage it, and build again.” - Mike Watts🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Airbnb renovation sticker shock02:22 Why we started an Airbnb business05:59 Real estate investing + Airbnb metrics11:08 Why money decisions are emotional14:13 Property analysis + resale potential21:20 Estimating Airbnb revenue with AirDNA27:22 Renovation chaos + unexpected repairs31:00 Full Airbnb financial breakdown51:11 Airbnb ethics, taxes + community impact59:52 Final reflections + future plansLinks and Resources:Kate's InstagramMike's InstagramKatenorthrup.comAirDNABNBCalcAirbnb listing for our propertyMel Dorman IGThe Real Estate Investor Goddess HandbookThe Big Money Decision Matrix✨ What If You Trusted Yourself With Money Decisions?The free Big Money Decision Matrix is the exact framework Kate uses for major financial decisions — from investments to business moves to buying property.Because second-guessing is expensive.And hesitation compounds fast.Inside, you’ll explore:🔹 How to regulate your body before making money decisions🔹 The difference between desire and proving something🔹 How to get clear on the real numbers🔹 Whether your wealth systems can actually sustain the winThis is body first, bank account second.And it’s designed to help you become the kind of person who can say:“I don’t make bad decisions.”Not from arrogance.From self-trust.👉 Download The Big Money Decision Matrix and use it on a decision you’ve been circling. ✨Related Episode:How We Launched Our First Airbnb for Tax Savings, Passive Income & Long-Term Wealth (157)

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.

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 Business02:54 Property Overview: Yarmouth, Maine Airbnb04:18 Episode Structure, Goals and Why We’re Sharing (Part One)07:09 How to Start: Strategies by Capital, Time, and Involvement09:17 How We Found the Property: Trip, Local Connections, and Purchase Story13:37 Market Research: Tools, Seasonality, and Pricing18:24 Rental Types: Short, Mid, and Long‑Term Profitability25:16 Renovation Surprises, Regulations, and Contractor Quotes34:19 Financial Goals: Diversification and Income Strategy39:40 Lessons, Listing Details, and Guest ExperienceLinks and Resources:Kate's InstagramMike's InstagramKatenorthrup.comAirDNABNBCalcAirbnb listing for our property✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?If you're earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you're personally responsible for keeping intact — this one's for you.The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty.

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 Activism07:22 Lynn on Money, Respect and Ethical Fundraising09:16 Sarah's Money Story and Personal Transformation25:13 How Lynn and Sarah Met — Partnership and Complementary Strengths28:06 Wealth, Scarcity Paradigm and the Truth of Sufficiency35:33 Pachamama Alliance — Amazon Conservation and Indigenous Partnership42:48 The Sophia Century and Divine Feminine Wisdom48:07 Manifestation & Full‑Circle Story (Oprah, Charlotte and Synchronicity)59:46 How to Support, Get Involved and Closing ResourcesLinks and Resources:Recalibration FieldThe Big Money decision MatrixConnect with Lynne Twist & Sara Vetter:The Soul of MoneyLiving a committed lifePachamama Alliance Remarkable Women's JourneySoul of Money Institute✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?If you're capable, ambitious, and earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you have to hold together — this one's for you.The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty.

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 overview02:17 Interview begins — Meet Lizzy & Abe03:20 Backstory: Lost business and financial collapse05:31 Emotional impact: shame, fear and relationship strain07:56 Discovering and joining Relaxed Money15:36 Two‑year results: financial and relational shifts22:17 New income streams: psychic work and business partnerships26:49 Improved money conversations and marriage healing27:44 Hesitations, shame and advice for those considering the program31:03 Where to find Lizzy & Abe — contact and projectsLinks and Resources:The Recalibration Field GuideThe Big Money Decision MatrixConnect with Lizzie Langston:WebsiteAbram's Linkedin✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?If you're capable, ambitious, and earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you have to hold together — this one's for you.The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty.

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 Money02:32 You Don't Need Your Partner to Do the Work04:59 Waiting for Your Partner: Limiting Patterns and Secondary Gain07:17 Meeting Your Edge: Practices, Sequencing and Nervous System Work09:37 Couples' Success Stories and Program Benefits13:15 How to Invite Your Partner Without Pushing14:19 Practical Conversation Steps and Money Date Suggestions17:40 Commit to Your Own Work and Lead by Example19:14 Program Results, CTA and ClosingLinks and Resources:Couples GuideRelaxed MoneyWhen 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.

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. I only knew how to make it.” –Kareem Manuel🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Opening: Kareem's financial collapse and early recovery02:32 Kareem's business history and sudden collapse04:36 Discovery — finding Relaxed Money / Good With Money workshop05:17 Emotional impact: internal landscape, fear and perceived failure08:49 Core learnings: Relaxed Money paradigm and somatic practices12:35 Tangible outcomes: credit repair, savings and financial stability13:36 Lifestyle shift: emotional freedom, budgeting confidence and family impact16:31 Integrating acceptance and agency: emotional and practical balance18:02 Future projects: music, creative ventures and family plansLinks and Resources:The Recalibration Field GuideThe Big Money Decision MatrixGood with MoneyConnect with Kareem Manuel:Instagram✨ 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.

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 Overview01:52 Hidden Money Ecosystem (Energetics vs Engineering)04:06 Introducing Financial Codependency as a Money Leak06:10 What is Codependency?

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.

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 series00:35 Recalibration Series Recap and Field Guide02:15 Defining Healthy Financial Overflow04:07 Hidden Money Ecosystem and Money Leaks06:35 Wealth Stewardship Pyramid: Overview and Level 1 (Financial Grounding)07:29 Level 2: Cushion, Breathing Room and Reduced Financial Stress09:22 Level 3: Structural Stewardship and Allocation Systems12:40 Level 4: Sufficiency, Lifestyle Alignment and Work Optionality14:14 Level 5: Healthy Financial Overflow (Trajectory to Work Optional)16:00 Level 6: Stewardship, Impact and Directing Resources19:02 Conclusion, Next Steps and Call to Action (Good With Money)Links and Resources:Recalibration Field GuideGood with MoneyWhen 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.

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.

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 series01:26 Episode focus: Nine energy leaks draining financial resources04:21 Hidden money ecosystem explained: energetics vs engineering06:04 How different ecosystem states create specific leaks (examples)08:42 Why identifying leaks matters: patterns not personal failure10:12 Leak 1 — The scarcity paradigm 14:04 Leak 2 — Money avoidance and financial vagueness16:39 Leak 3 — No containment architecture for money18:00 Leak 4 — Earning as the only strategy20:18 Reflection: locating the leaks in your body and awareness as change21:31 Next steps: Wealth Stewardship Pyramid and upcoming episodeLinks and Resources:Good with Money WorkshopThe Recalibration Field GuideQuizWhen 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.

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 coach03:16 Personal challenge — bad mentorship investment and resulting shame04:36 Discovery — finding Relaxed Money / Good With Money workshop05:31 Why this program was different — nervous system work & self‑authored approach07:48 Program experience — structure, money dates and practical tools10:25 Applying the methodology — listening to the body and communicating about money12:24 Results & healing — paying off invoices (debt), releasing shame and surfacing anger18:24 Business impact — improved coaching and deeper client results19:30 Closing & next steps — contact details and host call to actionLinks and Resources:The Recalibration Field GuideThe Big Money Decision MatrixGood with MoneyConnect with Melissa Eich:Website✨ 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.

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. If you're ready to feel safe, supported, and truly resourced—this is where it begins.“When your energetics are safe, and your engineering is strong, a healthy financial life becomes inevitable.”-Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction: Money, energetics and the Plenty series03:24 Energetics vs Engineering: Layers behind visible finances09:31 Four ecosystem states: Framework and quiz10:40 Overdrive state: Low safety and low structure15:00 Constriction state: Low safety, high structure18:11 Diffusion state: High safety, low structure21:35 Stewarded state: High safety and strong engineering26:25 Integrating energetics and engineering for sustainable wealth31:09 Closing & Call to action: Good With Money workshopLinks and Resources:Good With Money WorkshopThe Recalibration Field GuideQuiz✨ 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.

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 story02:10 Prit's breaking point: why she sought help03:07 Discovering Relaxed Money and first impressions04:44 How Prit lost money: investments, scams and choices07:48 Nervous‑system healing, health and personal transformation12:20 Early practical results: daily habits, family and housing changes19:36 Business impact: clarity, revamp and future plans21:32 Closing remarks and how to connect with PritLinks and Resources:The Recalibration Field GuideThe Big Money Decision MatrixConnect with Pritranjan Hothi:InstagramEmail✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?If you're capable, ambitious, and earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you have to hold together — this one's for you.The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty.

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.

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 Safety02:24 Relaxed Money Live: Event Overview and Impact10:14 Body‑First Event Design: Movement, Nervous System, and Singing16:29 Surrender and Ritual: Conserving Energy Before Expansion19:48 Fulfillment over Sales: Sponsorships and Manifestation35:06 Guest Speakers and Fireside Chats (Patrice, James Wedmore, Lynn Twist)40:18 Reflections and Key Takeaways from the Event42:01 Next Steps: Waitlist and Future Events42:22 Offer: Money Reset Free Audio for Rewiring WealthLinks and Resources:WebsiteInstagramFacebookYoutubePodcastRelaxed Money Live 2027 WaitlistMoney ResetThe Soul of Money by Lynne TwistConfessions of an Economic Hit ManSoul of Money InstitutePachamama 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.

What if the most radical thing you could do isn’t fight harder—but finally put down your sword?In this episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Kelly Brogan, host of Reclamation Radio, to explore what happened when she stopped trying to convince anyone and turned her attention inward. We talk about activism, identity, feminine power, marriage, money, and the grief that can live underneath even the most successful life. Kelly shares how examining her own patterns—rather than battling villains—transformed her relationships, her business, and her sense of safetyWe also dive into provocative territory around women, provision, ambition, and what it really means to feel supported instead of self-sufficient at all costs. If you’re a high-functioning woman whose external success has outpaced your internal peace, this conversation will feel like both a mirror and an invitation.“Most big-time activists have dumpster fires in their personal lives.

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 Empowerment11:04 – Cultural Disconnection and Self-Approval18:40 – Connection and Miracles22:51 – The Evolution of Feminine Identity27:50 – The Challenges of Holding Space39:40 – The Sacred Feminine and Sensuality48:27 – Cultural Discomfort with Female Sexuality50:19 – Reclaiming Sensual Education52:50 – Navigating Mother-Daughter Dynamics55:04 – The Path of Pleasure and ConnectionLinks and Resources:Money Breakthrough GuideRelaxed Money®Connect with Regena Thomashauer:WebsiteInstagramFacebookPussy: A ReclamationPrograms & Trainings✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey?

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.

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.XO,Kate“People think that if they talk about death, it’s going to make it happen sooner.

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.XO,Kate“Connection is a form of capital - and if net worth were measured in relationships, I would be a billionaire.”  -  Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 - Introduction to Abundance and Connection00:42 - The Importance of True Connection03:11 - Connection as a Catalyst for Growth04:53 - Money as a Relational Current06:14 - Nervous System and Relationships10:31 - Masculine Conditioning and Control12:49 - The Brain as a Social Organ19:41 - Nervous System Health and Magnetism23:09 - Building Sustainable Wealth through SafetyLinks and Resources:Polyvagal TheoryBroaden-and-Build Theory of Positive EmotionsRelaxed Money®Money Breakthrough Guide✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey?

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. Yes, I cry. And yes, it’s worth listening all the way through.We also talk about:Why people decide whether they trust you in under 3 secondsWhy trust alone doesn’t lead to buying - connection doesHow mimicking other leaders damages retention and resonanceWhy your body - not your script - creates magnetic communicationHow clearing your voice can transform relationships, not just revenueIf you’ve ever felt like you’re saying all the “right” things but still not being fully received…If you’ve built success but sense there’s more ease, truth, and power available…If you want your voice to accurately represent who you really are - This episode will change how you show up everywhere.XO,Kate“You can be repelling 30–90% of your impact and income because of sounds in your voice the size of a grain of sand.”  -  Tracy Goodwin🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Voice and Worth01:07 – Live Voice Reading and Authenticity02:13 – Expert Insights and Guest Introduction03:46 – Transforming Voices and Authenticity05:19 – Personal Backstory and Voice Development07:40 – Teaching Dialects and Voice Coaching10:20 – The Role of Subconscious in Voice14:05 – Understanding Body Language and Voice16:42 – Gift of Voice and Self-Discovery19:12 – Voice Masks and Personal Stories22:36 – The Energy of Truth in Performance29:47 – Survival and Voice Expression36:39 – Healing Relationships through Voice52:40 – Time Management in Conversations58:18 – Healing Relationships through VoiceLinks and Resources:The Money ResetConnect with Tracy Goodwin:InstagramLinkedInCaptivate the RoomOnline Programs & Small Group WorkPrivate Voice Coaching & Launch Reviews✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You MakeMaking more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

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.

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.XO,Kate“I didn’t think I could get what I wanted from the business because all I’d ever known was chaos.”  -Natalie Ellis🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Personal Struggles and Realizations01:53 – Overview of the Podcast and Its Purpose04:20 – Challenges Faced in Early Business Ventures07:03 – The Hustle Mentality and Its Consequences11:50 – Impact of Motherhood on Business Perspective15:06 – Navigating Business Growth and Personal Alignment21:23 – Nervous System Awareness and Business Chaos25:14 – Managing Anxiety and Stress Responses30:34 – Building from a Place of Security37:30 – Embracing a Simpler Lifestyle40:57 – Innovative Content Creation Techniques45:38 – Personal Growth and Future AspirationsLinks and Resources:Do LessConnect with Natalie Ellis:InstagramBoss BabeBoss Babe Podcast✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You MakeMaking more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

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 Energy00:38 The Pressure of New Beginnings02:24 Reclaiming Time and Energy03:50 Historical Perspectives on Time05:00 The Economics of Time13:09 The Power of Seasonal Alignment18:22 Aligning with Nature for Prosperity21:00 Emergence and Action24:55 Reflection and CelebrationLinks and Resources:Do LessHeal the Way You WorkRelaxed Money✨ Heal the Way You Work: Build a Spacious, Profitable Business - Without Working MoreWorking harder doesn’t create sustainable success… but this does.

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 prosperityThis 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.

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 yourselfYou’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.And if you want support rewiring your nervous system for greater ease with money, don’t miss the free Money Reset audio experience I created for you at katenorthrup.com/reset.“Financial boundaries are the riverbanks that keep your abundance flowing where it’s meant to go.” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Financial Boundaries00:38 Understanding Financial Boundaries01:13 The Importance of Financial Boundaries02:16 Signs You Need Financial Boundaries03:08 Decision Fatigue and Financial Boundaries04:19 Creating Abundance Agreements05:24 Aligning Spending with Values07:48 Consumer Culture and Financial Awareness08:54 The Purpose of Money10:00 Setting Financial Boundaries11:49 Examples of Personal Financial Boundaries13:06 Learning from Financial Mistakes13:54 Practicing Financial Awareness14:30 Operationalizing Financial Boundaries15:01 Client Communication Boundaries16:02 General Financial Guidelines17:06 Reframing Financial Boundaries17:32 Safety in Financial Boundaries18:23 Empowered Financial Decisions19:33 Conclusion and Next StepsLinks and Resources:The Money Reset✨ Overnight Rockstar: A Proven Path to New Eyes, New Clients, and Real GrowthYou’re doing meaningful work.

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 & Identity00:26 – Guest Background & Creative Recovery03:00 – Turning 40, Maturity & Evolving Identity05:12 – Childhood Messaging & Self-Perception07:35 – Career Success, Challenges & Vulnerability09:13 – Burnout, Loss & Identity Crisis11:51 – Reclaiming Creative Life Force13:07 – Resentment, Breadwinning & Gender Expectations16:21 – Healing Through Vulnerability & Relationship Dynamics19:17 – The Influence of Patriarchy & Processing Resentment21:25 – Creative Recovery, New Projects & Self-Discovery27:22 – Vulnerability in Creative Processes & Community38:19 – Social Media, Creative Resistance & Staying With the Work44:18 – Art, Healing & Creative Integrity50:42 – The Journey of Art, Commerce & Creative Community54:49 – Closing Thoughts & ResourcesLinks and Resources:Free Money Breakthrough GuideConnect with Chela Davison:WebsiteWizdotainmentA Little Bit MuchInstagram✨ 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.

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 consistencyThis 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 unsafe02:10 Justin Bieber example: making more ≠ keeping more04:05 Lifestyle creep + hedonic adaptation explained06:00 What your “money nervous system thermostat” really is08:15 How childhood environment shapes your financial capacity10:20 Why expansion can trigger sabotage, fear, or shame12:45 Overspending, overgiving, or freezing: different dysregulation patterns14:30 Tools to signal safety during financial expansion17:05 Kate’s Hay House book-deal story + co-regulation19:40 Questions to ask your body to expand your money capacity21:30 Closing + The Money Reset invitationLinks and Resources:Neurosomatic IntelligenceRelaxed Money Live✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You MakeMaking more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

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.

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 light00:27 Show intro: money, time, energy, and a life of plenty01:27 Debt, secrecy, and why shame halts financial progress02:22 Tell the truth (to someone safe); vulnerability has to be earned03:12 Debt ≠ bad: using credit as a wealth-building tool when appropriate04:09 Credit, solvency, and why “no credit” can limit leverage06:03 “Invoices for blessings already received” (student loans, credit cards, mortgages)06:40 Beware false binaries; nuance requires a regulated nervous system07:12 The spread: borrowing at 4% to earn 100%—a positive use of debt09:32 High-interest consumer debt vs. productive debt (don’t pay 20% APR)11:05 Normalizing the month-to-month “float” in real businesses13:48 From credit-card debt to 8-figure growth: dissolving shame to act15:11 When fear blocks math: build capacity, then choose the smart move16:22 Two actions: tell someone safe; start doing something about it17:19 Seeing you may have been smarter than you thought (the numbers help)18:19 Learn the lesson, integrate it, and change the pattern19:36 Any past decision can become wealth once shame’s story is droppedLinks and Resources:Brené BrownRelaxed Money✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You MakeMaking more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

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.Whether you’re navigating your own relationship dynamics, raising emotionally intelligent kids, or simply curious about how to create more presence and connection in your life, this conversation offers both science and soul.Together, we explore what it means to integrate—to honor the full spectrum of who we are—so that healing the masculine becomes part of healing all of us. 💛Listen now to discover:✨ What “healing the masculine” really means and how it impacts your relationships✨ The link between emotional regulation, nervous system health, and longevity✨ Simple practices to help you pause reactivity and return to grounded presence✨ How to support the men you love in reconnecting to their emotional selves“I realized I don’t have to match someone else’s emotional storm.

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 Nature00:37 Frustrations in Personal Growth and Change01:06 Understanding Secondary Gain in Personal Experiences02:20 Neural Patterning and Its Impact on Health08:04 Exploring Financial Avoidance and Secondary Gain10:10 Fear of Success and Its Implications12:26 The Importance of Approval in Life14:29 Transforming Disapproval into Approval19:30 Key Takeaways for Personal TransformationLinks and Resources:Mama GenaLoving 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?I’ve spent the past few years teaching, writing, and learning alongside thousands of women about how to live and work in a way that honors our bodies, our energy, and our truth.

What if the key to thriving wasn’t more grit—but sacred rest, radical honesty, and self-permission?This week on Plenty, I sat down with the luminous Amanda Goetz—founder, author of Toxic Grit, and single mama of three—to talk about healing from hustle culture without losing your ambition or your edge.Amanda and I dove deep into the cycles of burnout and rebirth so many of us experience as high-achieving women: how to rebuild after identity-shaking seasons, how to release toxic productivity patterns, and how to create boundaries that honor every version of who we are—CEO, mother, partner, sensual being, and everything in between.She shares her refreshing concept of the 10 characters within us and how learning to let them take turns in the spotlight can transform our relationship with work, motherhood, and self-worth. We also explored what it means to practice “hustle with intention,” reclaim pleasure and sexuality as sacred sources of power, and build a life that feels abundant—not just busy.If you’ve ever felt torn between your ambition and your well-being, or wondered how to pursue success without losing yourself, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:The truth about “toxic grit” and how to replace it with intentional ambitionWhy compartmentalizing your roles can actually expand your joy and capacityHow to communicate boundaries and priorities with those you loveThe importance of sacred rest as a catalyst for sustainable successHow reconnecting with your sensuality can bring you home to yourselfThis is one of those episodes you’ll want to revisit when you need a reminder that it’s safe to slow down, to shift, and to redefine what “having it all” truly means.Listen to Toxic Grit, Sacred Rest & Reclaiming Sexuality with Amanda Goetz wherever you get your podcasts—and if it resonates, please share it with a friend who’s ready to trade exhaustion for alignment.“The definition of toxic grit is hustle without intention.” -Amanda Goetz🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:30 Introduction to Amanda Goetz and Toxic Grit00:59 Healing from Hustle Culture02:35 Amanda’s Journey and Background04:22 Rebuilding After Divorce11:23 Toxic Grit and Hustle with Intention12:35 Setting Boundaries and Family Communication16:54 Dealing with Projection and Expectations23:16 Energy Management and Focus27:54 Compartmentalization in Life Roles36:50 The Importance of Writing and Newsletters43:27 Exploring Sexuality and Identity48:30 The Evolution of House of Wise and Personal GrowthLinks and Resources:Toxic GritMoney Breakthrough Guide Connect with Amanda Goetz:InstagramXLinkedin What if you could witness a story as it’s being born — before it’s polished, before it’s perfect, before the world sees it?I’ve spent the past few years teaching, writing, and learning alongside thousands of women about how to live and work in a way that honors our bodies, our energy, and our truth.

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 Abundance00:35 The Concept of Goal Setting03:37 Challenges with Time-Bound Goals09:11 Removing False Urgency11:16 The Journey vs. the Destination13:10 Conclusion and Invitation to Change✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You MakeMaking more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.

✨ 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.

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 does it really mean to heal as women—in our bodies, minds, and spirits?For too long, women have been told to push through exhaustion, overfunction at every turn, and manage "all the things" while our own vitality suffers. But what if true healing isn't about doing more?
