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 it
• How ignoring biological rhythms leads to burnout and weaker financial decisions
• The difference between Kronos time (measured, pressured) and Kairos time (expansive, meaningful)
• How seasonal planning reduces friction and increases profitability
• Why doing less can actually create more momentum, revenue, and impact

This 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

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

Have you ever wondered if money isn’t just a resource…but a living consciousness you’re already in relationship with?

In this week’s episode of Plenty, I sit down with The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz, for one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations I’ve ever had about money, healing, and the unseen forces that shape our financial lives.

Ry and I explore money not as something we “manage,” fix, or master — but as a fluid, evolving consciousness that responds to our awareness, our compassion, and our willingness to be in genuine relationship with it.

We talk about why shadow money work often feels so relieving, how different “streams” of money carry different energetic signatures, why some dollars feel light and others feel heavy, and how we can become stewards who help money heal as it moves through our lives.

We also dive into…
 ✨ What it means to let money find you even when you feel messy or imperfect
 ✨ How money takes on the energetic imprint of the intentions and emotions it passes through
 ✨ Simple daily practices to “witness” your money so it can relax and reorganize
 ✨ Why avoidance around money is rarely laziness — and what it’s usually protecting you from
 ✨ The connection between intimacy, generosity, and increased financial receptivity
 ✨ How couples can co-create a shared field that expands both pleasure and prosperity

This conversation is tender, revelatory, and wildly practical. Ry offers a new way of relating to money that brings more safety into your system, more flow into your life, and more grace into every financial exchange.

If you’re craving a relationship with money that feels warm, conscious, and regenerative — this episode is for you.

“Not all money is the same. It carries different vibratory qualities depending on the energies it’s passed through.”–The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz

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.

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

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

Have you ever made more money… only to find yourself overspending, shrinking back, or feeling anxious instead of abundant? If so, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing wrong with you.

In this episode, I explore one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of financial growth: your money nervous system thermostat. We often think that earning more should feel good, natural, or easy. But the truth is, if a part of your body doesn’t feel safe with more, it will unconsciously pull you back to what’s familiar, even if what’s familiar is financial stress, inconsistency, or sabotage.

I share:
 ✨ Why lifestyle inflation, overspending, or freezing with money isn’t a lack of discipline — it’s a nervous system response.
 ✨ How our childhood environment (not just money memories) sets our internal “thermostat” for how much abundance feels safe.
 ✨ The science behind why expansion often triggers threat responses like guilt, fear, or shame — even when something good is happening.
 ✨ Powerful, practical tools to build your capacity to earn more and keep more, including nervous system healing practices and co-regulation in community.

I also share personal stories — including the moment Louise Hay offered me my first book deal and why my immediate response was a shame spiral rather than celebration. This is such a potent example of how expansion can overwhelm our body if we haven’t updated our internal capacity to receive more.

You’ll walk away understanding:
 🌿 Why financial strategy can’t stick without nervous system safety
 🌿 How to start signaling “you are safe” during both contraction and expansion
🌿 The key questions to ask your body to uncover the stories and sensations running the show
🌿 How safe community accelerates your capacity to hold more wealth with ease and consistency

This episode will help you stop the patterns that have kept you cycling between making more and losing it — and instead begin to create a nervous system that can hold, grow, and enjoy wealth. When you practice feeling safe with more, more becomes normal.

"If you've ever made more money only to find yourself shrinking back, overspending, or sabotaging it, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you — it’s because a part of you doesn’t feel safe with more." –Kate Northrup

Debt, Shame, and the Stories We Don’t Tell (134)

What if your business was a temple?

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

They explore Blue Lotus as a sacred symbol of rebirth, Lakshmi energy, human design as a business map, and how knowing your dharma type can guide your offerings and marketing in an energetically aligned way.

In this episode you’ll discover:

✨ The four ethos of Sacred Commerce
✨ Why pleasure is essential to prosperity
✨ How wealth, dharma, and liberation interconnect
✨ Using astrology and human design to decode your “soul map”
✨ Blue Lotus, Lakshmi, and ceremony as allies in business

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

06:03 “Invoices for blessings already received” (student loans, credit cards, mortgages)
06:40 Beware false binaries; nuance requires a regulated nervous system

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. 💛

✨ What “healing the masculine” really means and how it impacts your relationships
✨ The link between emotional regulation, nervous system health, and longevity

Have you ever felt like you’ve done everything right—all the mindset work, all the strategy, all the “manifestation” tools—and yet, your life still isn’t matching what you desire?

I know how frustrating that can feel. In this episode, I’m diving deep into the hidden reasons why your outer world might not be shifting, even though you’ve been showing up and doing the work.

I walk you through three often-overlooked layers that can keep us stuck in repeating patterns—and how to gently start releasing them so you can finally experience real change:

💫 Nervous system repatterning: How our bodies can unconsciously “reset” us back to old comfort zones, and why feeling safe in expansion is key to sustaining success.
💫 Secondary gain: The subtle ways we might benefit from not getting what we want (and how to lovingly explore those patterns without shame).
💫 Radical approval: Why disapproving of “what is” keeps us trapped—and how genuine acceptance can become the fastest way to create the life you’ve been longing for.

You’ll leave this conversation feeling grounded, supported, and equipped with practical tools you can use today—like my favorite simple nervous system exercise that can help you shift your energy in under a minute.

Because the truth is, the moment you stop waiting for life to be perfect and start approving of what is, you’ve already changed everything. 🌿

🎧 Tune in now, and let’s explore how to align your body, mind, and energy with the abundance that’s already within reach.

Loving What Is, By Byron Katie

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. But this next chapter — both in life and in creativity — is something entirely new.

I’m inviting you into the room while the story is unfolding.

✨ Introducing The Inside Reader — an intimate, creative experience where you’ll join me as I write my next book, a narrative nonfiction about women, money, and the body.

Instead of waiting two years for the finished book, you’ll walk with me through the process itself — the messy middle, the sacred pauses, and the moments of breakthrough that shape what’s to come.

When you step inside, you’ll receive:

• 📖 Unfiltered early chapters as I write them
• 🎙 Live Zoom circles every few weeks to explore meaning and process
• 💬 A private space for conversation and reflection
• ✨ The chance for your story or insight to shape the book itself (with your permission)

This isn’t a course or a program. It’s a living, breathing creative relationship — between you, me, and the work that’s ready to be born.

You’ll not only witness a book coming to life, but also awaken something in yourself: your creative rhythm, your voice, your connection to your body and money.

If you’ve ever longed to be part of something real — not just the highlight reel — this is your invitation to pull up a chair by the fire and help midwife what’s next.

💫 Join me inside. The story’s just beginning.

Healing Money Regret, Anxiety, and Physical Pain Through Neurosomatic Intelligence with Elisabeth Kristof (085)

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 ambition
• Why compartmentalizing your roles can actually expand your joy and capacity
• How to communicate boundaries and priorities with those you love
• The importance of sacred rest as a catalyst for sustainable success
• How reconnecting with your sensuality can bring you home to yourself

This 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.

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. But this next chapter — both in life and in creativity — is something entirely new.

I’m inviting you into the room while the story is unfolding.

✨ Introducing The Inside Reader — an intimate, creative experience where you’ll join me as I write my next book, a narrative nonfiction about women, money, and the body.

Instead of waiting two years for the finished book, you’ll walk with me through the process itself — the messy middle, the sacred pauses, and the moments of breakthrough that shape what’s to come.

When you step inside, you’ll receive:

• 📖 Unfiltered early chapters as I write them
• 🎙 Live Zoom circles every few weeks to explore meaning and process
• 💬 A private space for conversation and reflection
• ✨ The chance for your story or insight to shape the book itself (with your permission)

This isn’t a course or a program. It’s a living, breathing creative relationship — between you, me, and the work that’s ready to be born.

You’ll not only witness a book coming to life, but also awaken something in yourself: your creative rhythm, your voice, your connection to your body and money.

If you’ve ever longed to be part of something real — not just the highlight reel — this is your invitation to pull up a chair by the fire and help midwife what’s next.

💫 Join me inside. The story’s just beginning.
