Plenty with Kate Northrup

What if trying to hold on to more money is actually keeping you from experiencing more abundance?

In this episode, Kate challenges a common idea in the wealth and personal development world: that we need to increase our capacity to “hold” more money. For women and highly capable people who are already carrying so much, Kate offers a different perspective. Maybe the answer isn't learning to hold more at all. Maybe it's learning how to receive, enjoy, and consciously direct the money that's already flowing through our lives.

Kate shares a funny moment from her time...

What if your drive to succeed, your need to do everything yourself, or your discomfort with receiving support isn't just part of your personality—but a pattern you learned in childhood?

In this episode, Kate sits down with her dear friend, therapist, and bestselling author Terri Cole to explore the invisible ways father wounds shape our relationships with money, success, love, and ourselves. Drawing from nearly three decades of therapeutic experience and insights gathered from 650 women, Terri explains why a father wound is often a worthiness wound—and how it can show up in high-achieving women who appe...

What happens when your bank account grows, your financial goals are within reach, and you're making more money than ever—but you still don't feel safe, secure, or abundant?

In this episode, Kate explores why your body doesn't always catch up to your financial success. You might have more savings, higher income, or even reached your financial independence number, yet still find yourself checking your accounts constantly, avoiding certain expenses, or feeling anxious about money. Kate explains why these patterns aren't necessarily about how much you have, but about what your body has learned to associate with fi...

What happens when you become the first person in your family to achieve something no one before you ever had—and instead of feeling excited, you feel scared, guilty, or like you’re doing something wrong?

In the final part of the Inheritance series, Kate explores why going beyond what previous generations experienced can feel surprisingly uncomfortable, even when it’s something you’ve worked hard for. Whether you’re the first in your family to start a business, go to college, own a home, or become a millionaire, stepping into unfamiliar territory can bring up feelings of fear, g...

What happens when you build the successful life you thought you wanted—and realize you want to escape from it?

In this episode, Kate sits down with entrepreneur and Return to Real author Ryan Levesque, who spent a decade building a hyper-growth company that generated more than $100 million in revenue. When a $70 million acquisition fell apart just days before signing, Ryan found himself confronting a question bigger than the deal itself: What was all of this actually for?

That question eventually led him somewhere unexpected—a tent on a farm in Vermont. Ryan shares how lear...

What if some of your money problems aren’t really about money at all—but about emotions you haven’t allowed yourself to feel?

In Part 3 of the Inheritance series, Kate explores the connection between your emotional life and your financial life. She challenges the idea that money decisions should be purely logical and explains how emotional suppression can show up as financial avoidance, overspending, under-earning, over-giving, or the persistent feeling that there’s never enough—even as your income grows.

Kate shares what happened during one of the most stressful seasons of her life, when Mike...

What keeps you going when the dream you’ve been working toward still hasn’t happened?

In this episode, Kate sits down with debut novelist Andrew Forrester, author of How the Story Goes, to talk about the ten-year journey that took him from his first finished manuscript to finally becoming a published author. Along the way, Andrew wrote multiple manuscripts, spent years trying to land an agent, had several books that never sold, raised four kids, and worked a full-time job—all while continuing to write.

Andrew shares why he never fully gave up, how writin...

What if your relationship with “enough” began before you were even born?

In this second episode of the Inheritance series, Kate Northrup explores the connection between the mother wound, the feminine, and money. She explains why our mother is our first economy—and how our earliest experiences of nurturing, presence, support, and flow can shape whether we feel there will ever truly be enough for us.

What happens when the identity, work, and life you’ve built no longer fit who you’re becoming?

In this solo episode, Kate Northrup shares a summer life update and reflects on what it means to build a life around what truly matters. From choosing a simple staycation over an expensive getaway to returning to her hometown in Maine, Kate explores how slowing down can reveal the difference between what genuinely makes us feel abundant and what we’ve been conditioned to chase.

She shares the mantra “bl...

What if your most challenging relationships are also your greatest opportunity for healing?

In this deeply personal conversation, Kate Northrup sits down with relationship coach and author Stefanos Sifandos to explore how our romantic relationships become mirrors for the wounds, patterns, and beliefs we've carried since childhood. Together, they discuss why trauma is inherently relational, how polarity creates intimacy, and why true healing happens not in isolation, but through safe, connected relationships.

Stefanos opens up about his marriage to Christine Hassler, the transformative experience of becoming a father, and how parenting exposed perfectionism, control, and...

What if your relationship with money has less to do with discipline and more to do with the ways you learned to feel safe?

In this solo episode, Kate Northrup explores the surprising connection between father wounds, the nervous system, and financial behaviors. She explains why patterns like overspending, avoiding structure, or feeling overwhelmed by budgeting aren't personality flaws—they're often protective strategies rooted in childhood experiences.

Together, they discuss the relationship between spirituality and money, why collaboration creates more ab...

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 dete...

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...

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.

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 wa...

And why are so many entrepreneurs still struggling—even with more tools, AI, content, and strategies than ever before?

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, an...

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.

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.

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 conversa...

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 oppo...

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?

They share their story of...

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...

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 ove...

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.

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 ever...

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 h...

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...

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 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 t...

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...
