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. 💛

Listen now to discover:
✨ What “healing the masculine” really means and how it impacts your relationships
✨ The link between emotional regulation, nervous system health, and longevity
✨ Simple practices to help you pause reactivity and return to grounded presence
✨ How to support the men you love in reconnecting to their emotional selves

“I realized I don’t have to match someone else’s emotional storm. I can hold the line with love and let them move through it —that’s real strength.” –Dr. Brad Jacobs

✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make

Making more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will. The Money Reset is a free audio experience designed to help you rewire your nervous system for wealth—so managing money feels effortless. 🎧💸

Inside, you’ll learn how to:
💡 Break the ‘money in, money out’ cycle and create lasting stability.

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.

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.

Have you ever noticed how setting a goal with a deadline can sometimes make you feel more anxious than inspired?

In this episode, I share a personal story about how I realized that my attachment to time-bound goals was actually creating stress, scarcity, and disconnection from the very abundance I teach and strive to live by.

During one of our biggest program enrollments, I experienced a powerful shift: instead of tracking numbers and pushing for results, I decided to remove the “T” from my SMART goals—the “time-bound” part. The moment I released the false urgency and pressure of having to meet a goal by a specific date, something extraordinary happened. I felt lighter, more creative, and deeply connected to Source again.

I talk about:
✨ How time-bound goals can trigger scarcity and stress rather than motivation.
✨ The difference between “relevant” goals and what I now call resonant goals—those that feel aligned with your heart and purpose.
✨ The practice that helped me detach from outcomes and stay rooted in service, joy, and flow.
✨ Why focusing on the journey, rather than the destination, is where true fulfillment—and sustainable success—lives.

By removing the timeline, I opened myself to infinite possibilities—and ironically, it turned out to be our most successful launch ever. But the real win wasn’t in the numbers—it was in how it felt: spacious, peaceful, and abundant.

So if your goals have been feeling heavy or pressured, this episode will invite you to loosen your grip, release the clock, and reconnect to what truly matters. When you stop forcing outcomes on a schedule, you make space for magic.

Listen in, and let’s explore what happens when you take off the “T.”

“When I have an idea that a goal has to be achieved in a certain amount of time, it creates stress and scarcity in my body. When I remove the timeline, I return to abundance.”–Kate Northrup

✨ Have you ever wondered what happens when being the breadwinner, burning out, and finding your feminine again all collide?

In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with the incredible Monica Yates — author, podcast host, and unapologetic voice on money, relationships, and feminine energy. Monica and I share an unusual common thread: our journeys both began with learning about the menstrual cycle and eventually led us into nervous system healing. From there, we dive deep into what it really means to let go, receive, and redefine power as women in today’s world.

Monica opens up about her personal experience of losing and regaining her period, stepping into her feminine through unexpected ways, and learning to soften while still holding the role of breadwinner. We talk about the tension so many of us feel between craving control for “safety” and the deeper truth that real safety comes through trust and surrender.

We also explore:

• What it looks like to be a high-earning woman in a relationship and how to navigate polarity when the traditional breadwinner roles flip.
• Why nervous system healing is essential for abundance and fulfillment.
• The hidden costs of trying to “do it all” — and the joy that comes when we actually allow ourselves to receive.
• The importance of honoring both the masculine and feminine, in ourselves and in our partnerships

Monica’s story is refreshingly honest, playful, and deeply validating. Whether you’re navigating being the financial provider, healing your relationship with money, or simply longing to put down the reins sometimes, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and invite you into a new way of relating — with yourself, your partner, and your resources.

I loved every moment of this conversation with Monica and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Have you ever found yourself on your abundance journey—doing the inner work, healing your relationship with money, and leaning into prosperity—only to feel pulled back into scarcity because the people around you aren’t on the same path?

If so, you’re not alone. This episode of Plenty was inspired by a listener who asked: “What do I do when my family, friends, or community are still operating in lack, while I’m working so hard to step into abundance?”

I know how challenging it can feel when the people you love aren’t aligned with your vision of “more than enough.” That’s why in this episode, I share three powerful practices to help you protect your energy, stand firmly in your truth, and continue expanding into abundance—without cutting people out of your life or downplaying your growth.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why who you spend time with deeply impacts your prosperity (and how to gently shift your circles if needed)
✨ How to recognize and release the “belonging tax”—that tendency to downplay your success so you don’t outshine loved ones
✨ Why your expansion isn’t selfish, but instead makes space for others to rise
✨ How to lovingly hold boundaries when others project scarcity onto you

This conversation is about more than money—it’s about honoring your own path while inviting others into their own growth, in their own timing. You’ll walk away with tools to stay rooted in abundance while still being in relationship with those you care about. 💛

What does it really mean to heal as women—in our bodies, minds, and spirits?

For too long, women have been told to push through exhaustion, overfunction at every turn, and manage "all the things" while our own vitality suffers. But what if true healing isn't about doing more? What if it's about reclaiming nervous system regulation, honoring our hormonal rhythms, embracing pleasure as medicine, and living from authentic wholeness?

In this transformative episode of Plenty, I spent an entire day in deep conversation with Dr. Sara Gottfried, a pioneering women's health physician, hormone expert, and bestselling author. Together, we explored the complex realities of women's health today—from navigating a medical system that often dismisses women's experiences to supporting ourselves through major transitions like perimenopause and menopause.

This conversation touches the core of everything we explore in this community: how nervous system balance, embodied pleasure, and true vitality become the foundation for not just surviving, but thriving as women.

What You'll Discover in This Episode

Women's Health & Medical Advocacy:

• Why women's health faces unique challenges in traditional medicine
• How to reclaim agency over your healing journey
• Strategies for advocating for yourself in medical settings

Hormones, Fertility & Life Transitions:

• Essential preparation during reproductive years for a vibrant menopause
• What every woman should know about hormones and vitality
• Supporting your body through perimenopause and beyond

Nervous System & Embodied Living:

• The crucial role of nervous system regulation in women's health
• How boundaries and pleasure practices support healing
• Why your "whole body yes" is your greatest navigation tool

Money, Safety & Women's Bodies:

• The profound connection between financial security and physical health
• How our relationship with money impacts our sense of safety
• Building true abundance from an embodied place

Dr. Sara's wisdom, combined with her generous spirit and clinical expertise, creates a conversation that feels both deeply personal and universally relevant. Whether you're in your twenties planning ahead, navigating perimenopause, or supporting other women in your life, this episode offers practical insights grounded in both science and intuitive wisdom.

This conversation left me feeling inspired, more grounded in my body, and even more committed to supporting women in living fully resourced, embodied, and abundant lives.

What if staying aligned with your goals didn't require doing more—but doing less on purpose?

In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly how I structure my days, weeks, and months so my time, energy, and money are all pulling in the same direction. I start with the nervous system piece—because if I'm wired for busyness, I'll sabotage white space—then share the practical scaffolding that keeps me focused on what truly moves the needle.

You'll discover:

• The "crowd it out" method — Put the most important things in first, then let everything else fill around them
• My non-negotiable guardrails — No Monday appointments, hard stop after 4 p.m., a real lunch, and no more than 2–3 Zooms per day
• Energy-saving batching strategies — Like stacking podcast recordings to eliminate context switching and preserve mental bandwidth
• The 80/20 rule in practice — Plus the 80/20 of that 20% for laser focus on what truly matters
• Boundary mastery — Why my default answer is "no" unless a request clearly serves my priorities
• Life-force energy as a success KPI — Tracking not just metrics, but how alive and energized you feel
• Seasonal business rhythms — Using my "Upward Cycle of Success" (emergence, visibility, culmination, fertile void) to build in natural ebb and flow instead of constant grind
• Annual planning that honors your whole life — Our family-first approach where personal "boulders" get calendar priority before business goals

If you're ready to create results with more ease and integrity, this episode is your step-by-step blueprint.

What if the bravest way to grow your life is to burn down the business that's "working"?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Samantha Skelly, founder of Pause Breathwork, to explore her holy-disruptive moment of closing a wildly successful, multi-seven-figure emotional eating company overnight. Following a crystal-clear divine directive, she rebuilt her work around breath as a path to healing and leadership. We dive into the fireworks-in-the-sky signs, middle-of-the-night downloads, and the day she literally hit "cancel" on recurring revenue to honor her soul's assignment.

You'll hear us explore:

• The science and soul of breathwork — How it shifts the body through the amygdala and vagus nerve, creating an 8-minute doorway into altered states, and why gentle, trauma-informed facilitation is essential
• Running a company the feminine way — Embracing spaciousness, cyclical leadership, and building profits without self-betrayal
• Lessons from a year that "built" her — Developing discernment with team dynamics, keeping the main thing the main thing, and choosing depth over novelty for true mastery
• Creating a sustainable daily breath practice — including how to adapt your practice during tender seasons like pregnancy

If you're feeling the nudge to pivot—or simply to soften how you work—this conversation offers both permission and practice. Press play, breathe with us, and let your next chapter arrive with more ease, truth, and plenty.

Have you ever had your intuition whisper "stop" while your business (or bills) shouted "go"?

In this week's Plenty episode, I hand the mic to my producer for a surprise Q&A—and I share honest, behind-the-scenes stories about trusting inner knowing, closing successful offers that are no longer aligned, navigating chaotic seasons, and holding both structure and flow in business and life. You'll hear how I work with my nervous system when money pressure spikes, why "feminine" leadership doesn't mean avoiding systems, and how I stay in integrity when industry hype says otherwise.

What you'll learn:

• Intuition vs. obligation: Why every leap I've taken that "didn't make sense on paper" ultimately created more alignment and revenue
• Doing less, not avoiding life: The difference between regenerative rest and resistance (and how I spot it in myself)
• Structure and surrender: How healthy systems let your creative, feminine energy flourish—without outsourcing your power
• Rhythms through hard seasons: Why cycles include creation and destruction, and how to trust the rhythm even when life feels anything but "in flow"
• Money, nervous system, and Source: Practical ways I reset when finances feel tight so I can see possibilities again
• Integrity in the personal-growth space: Why I don't believe in "having it all figured out" and how I stay honest about being human

This conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a business and life from authentic alignment.

“Feminine leadership doesn’t mean avoiding structure—it means building containers that let you exhale.” –Kate Northrup
