138: The Energetics of Financial Boundaries


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why money feels so much more spacious when you make one aligned decision instead of a thousand tiny ones every day?


In this week’s episode of Plenty, I’m diving deep into one of the most overlooked pathways to relaxed wealth: financial boundaries. Not the rigid, budget-heavy kind that feel like punishment… but the kind that act like the riverbanks that keep your financial flow clear, directed, and easeful.


I share how boundaries — financial and energetic — create more safety in your nervous system, more trust in your decisions, and more alignment between where your money goes and what truly matters to you. We explore:


🌿 Why decision fatigue drains not only your energy but your money
🌿 How to know (in your body) when something is a financial yes or no
🌿 The connection between your human design authority and aligned money choices
🌿 Real examples of my own financial boundaries, from client agreements to household spending
🌿 Why saying “no” to the misaligned is actually saying a deeper “yes” to yourself


You’ll also hear simple ways to start practicing aligned yeses and embodied noes in tiny, everyday moments — which makes the bigger financial choices so much clearer. And I walk you through how to begin crafting the kinds of abundance agreements we use inside Relaxed Money so your money can flow where it’s meant to, without leaking into places that don’t nourish you.


If you’ve ever felt like money decisions take more energy than you want to give… or you know your spending and earning could feel more regenerative and grounded… this episode will feel like an exhale.


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.
