Number 1: 175. How to Keep Going When Your Dream Hasn't Happened Yet: Debut Novelist Andrew Forrester on Creativity, Faith & Fortitude
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 writing became something he genuinely craved rather than something he had to suffer through, and why community, accountability, and giving himself permission to try something different ultimately mattered. He also gets practical about his creative process, including his thousand-word goal, writing late at night, and using the Pomodoro method to get himself started. Kate and Andrew also explore creativity, faith, and the mystery of where ideas come from. Andrew opens up about growing up Southern Baptist, how his relationship with God has evolved, and how learning to live with questions instead of needing every answer has shaped both his life and his writing. At its heart, this is a conversation about creative resilience, permission, and continuing to show up for the thing you can't stop thinking about—even when it takes much longer than you imagined. “It's accountability. It's encouragement. It makes you feel like you're allowed to take yourself seriously when someone else is doing it.” - Andrew Forrester 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Ten Years to Get Published 02:16 Ten Manuscripts Later 04:23 Why He Never Gave Up 07:05 Knowing This Was the One 10:07 Becoming a Better Writer 12:38 The Power of Writing Community 26:26 Creativity After Group Therapy 29:18 Finding Time to Write 31:32 Where Ideas Come From 38:06 His Pomodoro Writing Method 40:54 Faith, Doubt & God 47:07 Giving Himself Permission 49:06 How the Story Goes Links and Resources: Kate's Instagram Blue Light Blocking Glasses Opting Out of Urgency Connect with Andrew Forrester: Website Instagram Andrew Forrester’s book — How the Story Goes ✨ What If Everything Didn’t Feel So Urgent? You know that feeling when everything feels important, everything needs to happen now, and slowing down somehow feels impossible? That’s not just a mindset problem. Urgency has a biology. In Opting Out of Urgency, a free workshop led by nervous system healing expert Sarah Tacey, you’ll learn why your system gets stuck in urgency — and simple, body-based ways to return to greater spaciousness, clarity, and choice. You’ll discover how to recognize the difference between pressure that drains you and pressure you consciously choose, move beyond all-or-nothing thinking, and access options you simply can’t see when your nervous system is stuck in urgency. Because slowing down doesn’t mean you stop getting things done. It means you’re no longer letting urgency run the show. 👉 Join Opting Out of Urgency for free at katenorthrup.com/urgency Less urgency.

Number 2: 174. Mother Wounds and Money: Why Enough Feels Impossible — And How to Let It Flow to You [Inheritance Part 2]
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. Kate shares her own story of growing up with a mother who modeled financial abundance while having limited time and emotional availability, and traces those patterns even further back through her maternal lineage. She explores how these early experiences can show up later as difficulty receiving support, financial codependency, jealousy, scarcity, and the belief that we have to handle everything ourselves. She also breaks down wounded versus healthy expressions of feminine energy and how qualities like nurturing, intuition, surrender, allowing, and flow can transform our relationship with money. Rather than blaming our mothers, Kate invites us to recognize the unconscious patterns we inherited so we can begin to repattern them. This episode is an invitation to examine what you learned about enough, care, and receiving—and discover how healing your relationship with the feminine can open you to greater support, abundance, and flow. “This is not a blaming our mothers conversation. This is a reclaiming our financial power conversation.” - Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Our Mother Is Our First Economy 01:06 The Inheritance Series 02:49 The Mother Wound & Money 05:47 Kate’s Money Inheritance 08:06 What Begins in the Womb 10:08 Generational Scarcity 11:50 Learning to Receive Support 13:00 The Wounded Feminine 19:12 The Healthy Feminine 20:58 Your Relationship With Enough 22:21 Remothering Yourself 25:11 Opening to Financial Flow Links and Resources: Kate’s Instagram Inheritance Series Recalibration Field Guide ✨ What Did You Inherit About Money?

Number 3: 172. Blooming Where I’m Planted — And Why I’m Done Waiting to Have the Life I Want
What if the life you want isn’t waiting for you somewhere in the future—it’s already available in the choices you’re making right now? 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 “bloom where you’re planted” and invites us to look at the moments that have felt richest, sweetest, and most meaningful—and then examine whether our schedules and spending actually reflect those values. Kate also explores the difference between attention and connection, questioning the assumption that more followers, visibility, money, or growth will automatically create the life we want. Drawing from a difficult season when Mike was sick, Kate reflects on how nervous system dysregulation can make possibilities invisible even when they’re right in front of us. This episode is an invitation to reconsider what you’re optimizing for, identify what you truly want, and intentionally direct your time and money toward more of what already makes life feel full. “Am I optimizing for what really matters, or am I optimizing for something that I've been conditioned to think matters?” - Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 What Really Matters? 01:47 A Summer Life Update 04:08 Choosing a Staycation 05:26 Lowering the Bar 06:17 Bloom Where You’re Planted 09:58 Returning Home to Maine 20:17 Spend According to Your Values 21:15 Attention vs. Connection 23:32 Do You Really Need More? 26:00 What Do You Actually Want? 28:02 Creating More of It Now 28:50 Nervous System Capacity Links and Resources: Kate's Instagram Money Reset ✨ What If You Trusted Yourself With Money Decisions?

Number 4: 173. From $250,000 in Tax Debt to Selling Out Rooms of Thousands — And Why She Walked Away From All of It for Her Daughter with Regena Thomashauer (formerly Mama Gena)
What happens when the identity, work, and life you’ve built no longer fit who you’re becoming? In this deeply personal conversation, Kate Northrup reunites with Regena Thomashauer—also known as Mama Gena—to explore the story behind her new book, On Our Knees, and the transformation that followed the end of a defining chapter in her life. Regena shares how she went from being $250,000 in tax debt to growing her work from a living room of ten women into transformational experiences for thousands. But after sixteen years of running her Mastery program, an exhausted team, her daughter’s struggle with an eating disorder, and her own longing for a different kind of freedom led her to walk away from the stage and into the unknown. Together, Kate and Regena explore mother-daughter healing, inherited trauma, the sacred feminine, grief, pleasure, and the erotic life force that Regena believes remains available even in our darkest moments. Regena shares how supporting her daughter ultimately helped heal fractures within her own family—and taught her how to give and receive a kind of love she hadn’t experienced growing up. This conversation is not about bypassing pain or turning hardship into a neat before-and-after story. It’s about allowing grief, rage, devastation, pleasure, and aliveness to exist together—and discovering how the moments that bring us to our knees can also become portals into healing, connection, and greater freedom. “No matter how life brings us to our knees, we are still the source of life itself.” - Regena Thomashauer 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 The Cyclical Nature of the Feminine 02:47 Mama Gena vs. Regena 05:40 Growing a Dream 07:01 $250K in Tax Debt 10:15 Going Big or Going Home 15:20 Walking Away From Mastery 20:12 Her Daughter’s Healing Journey 25:25 Learning How to Love 30:36 The Power of the Erotic 35:25 Fighting for Her Daughter 40:17 Why Life Brings Us to Our Knees 43:28 Turning Grief Into a Portal 51:01 Permission to Feel Everything 54:46 Healing the Mother-Daughter Lineage 59:24 Finding Freedom Offstage Links and Resources: Kate's Instagram Keira's Free Workshop On Our Knees Connect with Regena Thomashauer: Website Instagram ✨ Have a Story the World Needs to Hear?

Number 5: 170. Father Wounds & Money: Why Structure Feels Unsafe — and How to Let It Hold You
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. Kate unpacks how our earliest relationships shape our capacity to receive support, provision, and stability, and why healing our relationship with money requires more than financial advice. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and practical guidance, she offers a new way to think about structure—not as something restrictive, but as something that can help your body feel safe. If you've ever struggled with consistency around money or wondered why healthy financial habits feel so difficult to maintain, this episode offers a compassionate, body-based framework for creating lasting change. "We often think we have an organization problem or a structure problem, but actually what we have is a father wound." - Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Your Money Isn't the Problem 02:00 The Four Money Ecosystem States 03:12 Why Father Wounds Matter 04:39 The Wounded Masculine Explained 06:38 When Support Feels Unsafe 07:53 Survival Strategies & Money 08:50 Patriarchy and Financial Safety 11:56 When Success Doesn't Feel Safe 14:28 Reparenting Through Structure 19:28 The Money Reset Links and Resources Kate’s Instagram Money Reset ✨ Ready to Reset Your Relationship with Money?
