Plenty with Kate Northrup

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. Learning how to work with my nervous system through NSI has helped me build resilience, shift long-standing patterns, and create from a place of greater ease, clarity, and alignment. It’s also become a powerful tool that I share with our community because it supports real, sustainable transformation.If you’re curious about exploring this work for yourself, early registration for the next NSI cohort is now open, along with some beautiful bonuses for those who join early.✨ Learn more and explore if it’s right for you:🔗 https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/kate Related Episode:Financial and Purpose Expansion Post Divorce and Beyond with Patrice Washington (091)

Dr. Kelly Brogan, psychiatrist and NYT bestselling author known for work on women’s health and reclamation, talks about what happened when she stopped trying to convince others and turned inward. She explores activism, feminine power, motherhood, money, and how softening changed her relationships and business. Short, candid reflections on identity, provision, and choosing containment over constant battle.

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?
