Plenty with Kate Northrup

What if the most transformational money event you could attend had very little to do with spreadsheets—and everything to do with your body, your nervous system, and the way you connect with others?In this episode, I’m sharing the top seven lessons I learned from hosting what attendees called “the best event ever” at our most recent Relaxed Money Live gathering in Nashville. After the event, my phone was flooded with voice memos, texts, and messages from people saying they had never experienced anything like it—and I’ve been reflecting deeply on why.What made this event so powerful wasn’t hype or high-pressure tactics. It was the intention behind every detail. We designed the experience around something I believe deeply: true financial expansion starts with safety in the body. When our nervous systems feel regulated and supported, our brains can create new neural pathways around money, power, and possibility.In this episode, I walk you through the key ingredients that made the event so transformative—from creating meaningful connection instead of small talk, to incorporating movement, nervous system practices, and even singing and dancing together to help people metabolize stress and open up to new possibilities.I also share behind-the-scenes stories from the event:How a massive ice storm the week before became part of the ritual leading up to expansion.Why designing experiences that prioritize the body first, business second changes everything.How a dream collaboration with the legendary Lynne Twist came together with one bold ask.And the surprising way a silent disco became the perfect metaphor for how we can change our energetic channel at any moment.At its core, this episode is about something bigger than an event. It’s about what happens when we gather in a way that honors our humanity—when we build circles instead of pyramids and remember that wealth is created not just through strategy, but through alignment, safety, and connection.If you’ve ever wondered how to create deeper transformation in your work, your money, or the communities you lead, this conversation will give you a powerful lens into what’s possible when we design experiences—and lives—that truly support our nervous systems and our purpose.This is an invitation to stop chasing artificial beginnings and start living inside cyclical momentum - where your energy, creativity, and income compound naturally.“True wealth doesn’t start in your bank account—it starts in your body feeling safe enough to receive.” -Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Podcast Introduction: Money, Power, and Safety02:24 Relaxed Money Live: Event Overview and Impact10:14 Body‑First Event Design: Movement, Nervous System, and Singing16:29 Surrender and Ritual: Conserving Energy Before Expansion19:48 Fulfillment over Sales: Sponsorships and Manifestation35:06 Guest Speakers and Fireside Chats (Patrice, James Wedmore, Lynn Twist)40:18 Reflections and Key Takeaways from the Event42:01 Next Steps: Waitlist and Future Events42:22 Offer: Money Reset Free Audio for Rewiring WealthLinks and Resources:WebsiteInstagramFacebookYoutubePodcastRelaxed Money Live 2027 WaitlistMoney ResetThe Soul of Money by Lynne TwistConfessions of an Economic Hit ManSoul of Money InstitutePachamama Alliance🎙 Ready to feel more regulated, resilient, and at home in your body?What if the key to greater clarity, creativity, and financial expansion wasn’t pushing harder—but working with your nervous system instead of against it?That’s exactly what Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) teaches. NSI is the ability to recognize how sensory and cognitive inputs affect your nervous system—and then intentionally shift those patterns so your body can adapt in ways that support greater safety, resilience, and capacity.When your nervous system feels safe, everything changes. You can experience deeper regulation, improved performance, meaningful behavior shifts, and powerful repatterning of old stress and trauma responses.This work has been incredibly impactful in my own life and business. Learning how to work with my nervous system through NSI has helped me build resilience, shift long-standing patterns, and create from a place of greater ease, clarity, and alignment. It’s also become a powerful tool that I share with our community because it supports real, sustainable transformation.If you’re curious about exploring this work for yourself, early registration for the next NSI cohort is now open, along with some beautiful bonuses for those who join early.✨ Learn more and explore if it’s right for you:🔗 https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/kate Related Episode:Financial and Purpose Expansion Post Divorce and Beyond with Patrice Washington (091)

What if the most radical thing you could do isn’t fight harder—but finally put down your sword?In this episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Kelly Brogan, host of Reclamation Radio, to explore what happened when she stopped trying to convince anyone and turned her attention inward. We talk about activism, identity, feminine power, marriage, money, and the grief that can live underneath even the most successful life. Kelly shares how examining her own patterns—rather than battling villains—transformed her relationships, her business, and her sense of safetyWe also dive into provocative territory around women, provision, ambition, and what it really means to feel supported instead of self-sufficient at all costs. If you’re a high-functioning woman whose external success has outpaced your internal peace, this conversation will feel like both a mirror and an invitation.“Most big-time activists have dumpster fires in their personal lives. In my case, activism was an elaborate avoidance strategy.” — Kelly Brogan🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction and Personal Reflections11:24 – Cultural Differences in Behavior18:55 – Influence of Literature on Life Choices22:24 – Prioritizing Motherhood27:45 – Activism and Personal Reflection39:56 – Unexpected Business Success48:07 – Creating Personal Connections01:01:28 – Containment in Business and Relationships01:06:53 – Weightlifting and Personal Growth01:09:18 – Conclusion and FarewellLinks and Resources:Relaxed Money®Do LessMoney, A Love StoryConnect with Dr. Kelly Brogan:WebsiteInstagramReclamation Radio PodcastVital Mind Reset ProgramA Mind of Your Own✨Ready to Feel Supported by the Money You’re Already Making?If you’re ambitious, capable, and earning well—but still feel a quiet undercurrent of financial pressure—this is for you.I created a free Money Breakthrough Guide for high-functioning leaders who don’t need beginner money advice… but do want their income to finally feel steady.Inside, you’ll hear powerful insights from 20+ high-earning entrepreneurs sharing the real decisions, mindset shifts, and structural changes that transformed their relationship with money —not just how they made more, but how they built something that actually supports them back.You’ll also get a short private training where I walk you through:The shift from income-chasing to wealth architectureHow to turn earning into keepingA simple, body-based tool to help money feel less charged and more groundedThis isn’t about budgeting harder.It’s about building financial infrastructure that matches your ambition.If you’re ready for sustainable wealth, emotional steadiness, and money that grows in rhythm— not chaos, download your free guide now.👉 Get the Money Breakthrough Guide at katenorthrup.com/breakthroughsBecause getting richer is gorgeous.But building wealth that actually feels good?

What if one woman could change the entire trajectory of your relationship with your body, your desire, and your power—for the rest of your life?In this deeply personal episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with the woman who did exactly that for me: Regena Thomashauer, also known as Mama Gena, the Queen of Pleasure.I met Regena when I was 22 years old. I walked into her brownstone living room in New York City not knowing that a single class would reshape how I experienced my body, my relationships, my confidence, and my aliveness. I can say this without exaggeration: I would not be the woman I am today without her.In this intimate, emotional conversation, we talk about what happens when women are taught to distrust their desire and what becomes possible when that conditioning is dismantled. Regena shares the origin story of Mama Gena, why reclaiming pleasure is not frivolous but revolutionary, and how appreciation becomes a doorway back to power. We explore why so many high-achieving women look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected internally and how pleasure is often the missing link.We also go behind the scenes of her iconic Mastery program, including what it took to lead thousands of women at a time, why she ultimately chose to close that chapter, and what it cost her physically, emotionally, and spiritually to keep that portal open for so long. Regena speaks candidly about motherhood, lineage healing, partnership, surrender, and what it actually takes to receive deep love after a lifetime of armor.This episode is about more than pleasure. It’s about life force. It’s about the creative power that fuels our work, our wealth, our relationships, and our leadership. It’s about what happens when women stop outsourcing their aliveness and start choosing it, even in hard seasons.If you’ve ever felt successful but strangely disconnected… if you’ve built a powerful life but know there’s more vitality available to you… if you want to understand how pleasure, power, and purpose are inseparable—this conversation will meet you right where you are.XO,Kate“When there is aliveness within, connection without becomes possible—and miracles can happen in a microsecond.” — Regena Thomashauer🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Mama Gina and Feminine Empowerment11:04 – Cultural Disconnection and Self-Approval18:40 – Connection and Miracles22:51 – The Evolution of Feminine Identity27:50 – The Challenges of Holding Space39:40 – The Sacred Feminine and Sensuality48:27 – Cultural Discomfort with Female Sexuality50:19 – Reclaiming Sensual Education52:50 – Navigating Mother-Daughter Dynamics55:04 – The Path of Pleasure and ConnectionLinks and Resources:Money Breakthrough GuideRelaxed Money®Connect with Regena Thomashauer:WebsiteInstagramFacebookPussy: A ReclamationPrograms & Trainings✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey?

What if tuning in to what turns you on is one of the most powerful ways to access more money, confidence, and leadership in your life?In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with Genevieve LeJeune, founder and CEO of Skirt Club, a private international membership for bisexual and bi-curious women. Our conversation moves straight into territory most people avoid - pleasure, desire, power, money, and the courage it takes to invest in yourself when the world tells you not to. Genevieve shares how Skirt Club began as a small gathering in her London flat and grew into a global movement, why she created an alter ego to step into leadership, and what it actually looks like when women prioritize their own pleasure and agency - without apology.We talk about the cultural shame that has kept women disconnected from their desire, how giving yourself permission to want more changes the way you show up everywhere, and why women who take ownership of their pleasure often become clearer decision-makers, stronger leaders, and more powerful stewards of money. Genevieve also breaks down how Skirt Club events work, why privacy and discretion matter, and what she’s learned after witnessing thousands of women claim parts of themselves they were taught to hide.This episode is about more than sex. It’s about self-trust. It’s about choosing yourself before you have all the answers. And it’s about the quiet, radical truth that when women listen to their bodies and act on what they want, their money, confidence, and sense of power expand right along with them.XO,Kate“I wasn’t trying to change who I was. I just stepped into another version of myself and gave her permission to lead.”  -  Genevieve LeJeune🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Self Acceptance and Sexuality10:42 – Cultural Shifts Around Women's Sexuality17:42 – What Happens at Skirt Club Events21:05 – Dressing for Empowerment and Confidence25:27 – Cultural and Religious Influences on Sexuality35:10 – Marketing Strategies and Word of Mouth42:09 – Adapting to COVID-19 and Online Events43:24 – Launch of Skirt Society App45:33 – Interconnection of Money, Power, and Sexuality46:37 – Personal Growth Through Adventure50:43 – Conclusion and Call to ActionLinks and Resources:Money Breakthrough GuideConnect with Genevieve LeJeune:Skirt ClubInstagramSkirt Club InstagramSkirt Club Community Instagram✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey?

What would change for your family if the hardest conversations about money and death were already handled—clearly, lovingly, and without chaos?In this episode of Plenty, I’m sitting down with estate and legacy planning lawyer Amber Saunders for a conversation most people avoid—and pay for later.We talk about why avoiding conversations about death, money, and legacy doesn’t protect your family… it actually creates confusion, resentment, and heartbreak when it matters most. Amber shares a powerful personal story about how one simple decision her great-grandmother made ended up supporting three generations later—financially, emotionally, and practically—during a medical crisis no one could have predicted.This isn’t an episode about documents and paperwork (though we cover what you actually need, at every stage of life). It’s about legacy. It’s about values. It’s about making decisions now so the people you love aren’t left guessing later.In our conversation, we cover:Why waiting to talk about money and death almost always creates family conflictHow to start estate conversations with parents or partners without it sounding like you’re after an inheritanceThe first non-negotiable steps every adult needs in place—even if you don’t think you have “enough” assets yetWhy clarity around what you own (yes, even a simple list) can save your family years of stressHow inheritances go wrong—and how to pass down wisdom and values, not just moneyWhy no AI tool or fill-in-the-blank document can replace the human side of legacy planningIf you care about your family, your future, and what happens to what you’ve built—this is a conversation to listen to before there’s a crisis.This episode is an invitation to lead with intention now, so the people you love can grieve, remember, and stay connected later.XO,Kate“People think that if they talk about death, it’s going to make it happen sooner. But avoiding the conversation is what actually creates the mess.” — Amber Saunders🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Estate Planning05:53 – Understanding Estate Planning Myths10:50 – Consequences of Avoidance12:06 – Preparing for Family Drama15:18 – Emotional Attachments to Heirlooms21:15 – Surprising Aspects of Estate Planning28:04 – Educating Future Generations30:39 – The Role of AI in Estate Planning33:58 – Finding the Right Legal Support36:22 – Conclusion and Call to ActionLinks and Resources:Money Breakthrough GuideConnect with Amber Saunders:InstagramFacebookLinkedInThe Saunders Firm – Legal PracticeAmber Saunders – Personal Site✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey?
