Plenty with Kate Northrup

What if your financial struggles weren’t about discipline or strategy—but about feeling safe in your body? And what might change in your relationship if money no longer triggered fear, shame, or shutdown? What if the path to more money — and more connection in your relationship — starts in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Lizzie and Abe Langston to explore what it actually looks like to rebuild your financial life and your marriage from a place of healing, not pressure. They share their story of navigating financial rock bottom after the loss of a business, and the emotional toll it took — not just on their finances, but on their relationship. Lizzie opens up about the shame she carried around money and how those patterns showed up as avoidance, fear, and disconnection. Instead of forcing herself into traditional financial strategies that never quite worked for her, she found a different entry point: repatterning how money lived in her body. As she did that work, everything began to shift. Conversations became calmer. Reactivity softened. New opportunities — ones that aligned with her real gifts — began to emerge. What's especially powerful is that Abe didn't have to do the work in the same way for the transformation to happen. As Lizzie changed her relationship with money, the entire dynamic of their partnership evolved with her. This conversation is a reminder that when we stop trying to override our patterns and instead learn to meet ourselves honestly, we unlock a different kind of capacity — one that supports both financial growth and deeper connection. “It wasn’t just ‘do this with your money’—it was, ‘oh, I can feel safe with money.’” –Lizzie Langston 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:02 Episode introduction and guest overview 02:17 Interview begins — Meet Lizzy & Abe 03:20 Backstory: Lost business and financial collapse 05:31 Emotional impact: shame, fear and relationship strain 07:56 Discovering and joining Relaxed Money 15:36 Two‑year results: financial and relational shifts 22:17 New income streams: psychic work and business partnerships 26:49 Improved money conversations and marriage healing 27:44 Hesitations, shame and advice for those considering the program 31:03 Where to find Lizzy & Abe — contact and projects Links and Resources: The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Connect with Lizzie Langston: Website Abram's Linkedin ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something? If you're capable, ambitious, and earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you have to hold together — this one's for you. The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty. It's built to take what you're hearing in the series and locate it precisely in your money ecosystem — so you can see exactly where to go next. Most people recognize themselves within the first five minutes. Inside the Field Guide, you'll explore: 🔹 The Four Hidden Money Ecosystem States — Overdrive, Constriction, Diffusion, and Stewarded — and which one your money is actually running in right now 🔹 The Wealth Stewardship Pyramid — the sequence wealth actually builds through, and how to reorient your ambition toward architecture instead of urgency 🔹 The Four-Leaks Diagnostic — where money and energy are escaping your system, not hypothetically, but in your specific income pattern and situation 🔹 The Energetics → Engineering → Expression Map — why surface-level financial fixes haven't worked, and what to do instead 🔹 Deep Reflection Prompts — built around the central question the series raises: Why do I still feel like I'm the one who has to make everything happen, even when things are going well? This isn't a budgeting tool. It's not a workbook. It's a diagnostic instrument for self-led leaders who are ready to stop being the sole infrastructure of their own financial life — and build something that...

Are you waiting for your partner to get on board before you fully step into your financial life? What might shift if you stopped waiting—and started leading your own transformation? What if the thing holding you back financially isn’t your partner—but the belief that you need them to change first? In this episode, I share a perspective that can feel both confronting and incredibly freeing: waiting for your partner to get on board with money work is a limiting pattern. I walk through why making someone else the reason you can’t move forward is one of the sneakiest ways we give our power away—and how this pattern is often rooted in our own survival wiring. We explore what’s actually possible when you take full ownership of your relationship with money, regardless of what your partner is or isn’t doing. Because the truth is, you don’t need your partner’s buy-in to create meaningful financial change. And at the same time, I also share how powerful it can be when couples do come into alignment—not through pressure or ultimatums, but through invitation, embodiment, and trust. This episode is really about shifting from waiting… to leading. From needing external permission… to reclaiming your own agency. Because when you change your relationship with money, it doesn’t just impact you—it has the potential to transform the entire dynamic of your relationship. “Waiting for your partner to get on board is a limiting money pattern.” –Kate Northrup “Anytime we make someone else the reason we can’t have what we want, we are giving our power away.” –Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Introduction to Plenty and Relaxed Money 02:32 You Don't Need Your Partner to Do the Work 04:59 Waiting for Your Partner: Limiting Patterns and Secondary Gain 07:17 Meeting Your Edge: Practices, Sequencing and Nervous System Work 09:37 Couples' Success Stories and Program Benefits 13:15 How to Invite Your Partner Without Pushing 14:19 Practical Conversation Steps and Money Date Suggestions 17:40 Commit to Your Own Work and Lead by Example 19:14 Program Results, CTA and Closing Links and Resources: Couples Guide Relaxed Money When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

What if your financial breakdown wasn’t the end… but the beginning of a more sustainable way of living with money? And what if feeling safe with money had less to do with how much you earn—and more to do with how you relate to it? What happens when everything you thought was working… suddenly falls apart? In this episode, I sit down with Kareem Manuel, who went from running a growing business to experiencing a rapid financial collapse—losing his business, his home, and his sense of stability almost overnight. What I love about Kareem’s story is not just what he rebuilt, but how he rebuilt it. Because this isn’t a story about hustling harder or pushing through. It’s about learning to feel safe with money, to stay present with what is, and to build a foundation that can actually hold you. Kareem shares how he went from less than zero in savings to $20,000 in just a few months—not through force, but through a complete shift in how he related to money, debt, and himself. We talk about what it means to bring your nervous system into your financial life, how to move out of fear and into clarity, and why the real transformation isn’t just external—it’s internal. This episode is such a powerful reminder that financial safety isn’t something you chase. It’s something you build—gently, consistently, and in relationship with yourself. “I realized I didn’t know how to hold money. I only knew how to make it.” –Kareem Manuel 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Opening: Kareem's financial collapse and early recovery 02:32 Kareem's business history and sudden collapse 04:36 Discovery — finding Relaxed Money / Good With Money workshop 05:17 Emotional impact: internal landscape, fear and perceived failure 08:49 Core learnings: Relaxed Money paradigm and somatic practices 12:35 Tangible outcomes: credit repair, savings and financial stability 13:36 Lifestyle shift: emotional freedom, budgeting confidence and family impact 16:31 Integrating acceptance and agency: emotional and practical balance 18:02 Future projects: music, creative ventures and family plans Links and Resources: The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Good with Money Connect with Kareem Manuel: Instagram ✨ When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

Are you using money to make someone else feel okay… so that you can feel okay? And if so, what might become possible if your financial choices came from clarity instead of emotional obligation? What if one of the biggest drains on your finances isn’t your spending habits—but your relationships? In this episode, I’m talking about something that can feel a little uncomfortable to name, but incredibly liberating once you see it clearly: financial codependency. I share what financial codependency actually is—using money to regulate someone else’s emotions so that you can feel okay—and why this dynamic can quietly leak energy, money, and personal power over time. We explore how this can show up in real life: with adult children, within families, in friendships, and even inside your business. And more importantly, we look at the subtle difference between generosity and overgiving—because they are not the same. I also walk you through why clarity is one of the most powerful forces in your financial life. When there are no clear agreements, no boundaries, and no defined containers for money, things get murky—and money does not thrive in murkiness. This conversation is really an invitation to look underneath the surface of your financial life—to your hidden money ecosystem—and gently ask: where might I be overextending myself in ways that aren’t actually serving me or the people I love? Because when you shift out of codependency and into clear, grounded agreements, you don’t just protect your money—you reclaim your power. “Any lack of clarity is a drain in your money ecosystem—money loves clarity.” –Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Introduction — Financial Codependency & Podcast Overview 01:52 Hidden Money Ecosystem (Energetics vs Engineering) 04:06 Introducing Financial Codependency as a Money Leak 06:10 What is Codependency?

What if rebuilding your finances after a major life rupture wasn’t about pushing harder—but about slowing down enough to truly heal? And what if your relationship with money had more to do with your nervous system than your strategy? What if the path to financial stability isn’t about doing more—but about being with what is? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend, Jenn Racioppi, to explore what it really looks like to rebuild your life—financially, physically, and emotionally—after a divorce that changes everything. Jenn shares her deeply honest journey of navigating the “math that doesn’t work” after divorce—where income is split, expenses double, and the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. But instead of jumping into hustle or trying to out-strategize her situation, she chose something radically different: she slowed down, stayed with herself, and allowed healing to lead. We talk about what it means to be in a “fertile void”—a season where growth doesn’t look flashy, but something deeper is being rebuilt. We explore the intersection of money, the body, and the nervous system—and why true financial healing requires all three. Jenn also shares her powerful story of reversing osteoporosis naturally, and how rebuilding her physical foundation mirrored the process of rebuilding her financial life. This conversation is a reminder that wealth isn’t created through urgency or pressure—it’s built through consistency, presence, and the willingness to meet yourself honestly. If you’re in a season of rebuilding—or even quietly recalibrating—this episode may offer a different way forward. What You’ll Learn “Money’s math… and it’s not.

What if your money could actually support you… instead of something you constantly have to manage? And what if more freedom didn’t come from earning more—but from how your money is structured? What if your money could actually support you… instead of something you constantly have to manage? In this episode, I share what I call healthy financial overflow—a state where your money is no longer something you have to push, control, or constantly think about… but something that quietly and reliably supports your life. Because here’s what I’ve learned: more money doesn’t create more freedom. Structure does. I walk you through the Wealth Stewardship Pyramid, a framework for building a financial life that moves from instability and pressure… into sufficiency, freedom, and eventually, overflow. This isn’t about chasing bigger numbers or reaching some external milestone. It’s about creating a system that allows your money to feel steady, supportive, and aligned with what actually matters to you. We start at the foundation—clarity, stability, and financial grounding—and move through the layers of building cushion, installing structure, and aligning your lifestyle with your values. And over time, something begins to shift. Money stops feeling urgent. Decisions become calmer. Your energy frees up. Until eventually, your money begins to carry more of the weight—and you no longer have to. This episode is an invitation to step out of managing money from pressure… and into stewarding it from a place of clarity, safety, and intention. Because financial overflow isn’t something you chase. It’s what naturally happens when the foundation beneath it is built well.

What if nothing is “wrong” with your money… but you still know there’s more available for you? What if the next level of financial expansion isn’t about working harder—but feeling safer and more supported? In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes conversation with one of our Relaxed Money students, Nichelle—and her story is such a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait for a crisis to create change. Nichelle came into this work with stable income, solid numbers, and a life that looked “good on paper.” And yet, she had this quiet knowing that there was more available—not just financially, but in how she felt in her life. What I love about her journey is that she didn’t take action from urgency or fear. She followed an invitation toward expansion. And what unfolded was both deeply tangible—paying off her car, building a six-month cushion, creating space for ease—and also profoundly internal. A sense of coming home to herself. A new relationship with money that feels grounded, spacious, and actually supportive. This conversation is a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we shift from force to alignment… and from fixing to allowing.

What if the reason your money isn't moving the way you want has nothing to do with discipline — and everything to do with patterns you haven't been able to see yet? In part three of the Recalibration Series, I'm walking you through the subtle, often invisible money leaks that quietly drain financial energy from high-achieving, high-responsibility people — even when you're doing everything "right." In this episode, you'll learn: andKey insight from this episode: This is not a capacity issue. It's not a discipline issue. It's a pattern — and most of these leaks are ones you've never even identified as problems, because some of them are societally celebrated. Awareness is the first step to real transformation. Once you can see the leak, you can start to change everything. “You don’t have a money problem—you have a pattern that hasn’t been made conscious yet.” –Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:38 Recalibration series overview and how to use the series 01:26 Episode focus: Nine energy leaks draining financial resources 04:21 Hidden money ecosystem explained: energetics vs engineering 06:04 How different ecosystem states create specific leaks (examples) 08:42 Why identifying leaks matters: patterns not personal failure 10:12 Leak 1 — The scarcity paradigm 14:04 Leak 2 — Money avoidance and financial vagueness 16:39 Leak 3 — No containment architecture for money 18:00 Leak 4 — Earning as the only strategy 20:18 Reflection: locating the leaks in your body and awareness as change 21:31 Next steps: Wealth Stewardship Pyramid and upcoming episode Links and Resources: Good with Money Workshop The Recalibration Field Guide Quiz When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

Why does making more money still feel like it's never enough? In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Eich — nurse, women's health coach, and someone who knows what it's like to work hard, invest in yourself, and still feel like the ground beneath your money is shaking. Melissa opens up about a difficult investment that didn't deliver — and the wave of shame, anger, and self-doubt that followed. We go deep on why more income doesn't automatically create safety or satisfaction, and what it actually takes to stop outsourcing your sense of financial security to the next strategy, the next number, the next external fix. Through her work inside Relaxed Money, Melissa began following her own internal breadcrumbs back to herself — learning to trust her body, her intuition, and her capacity to make clear, grounded decisions with money. She shares how consistent money dates, compassionate awareness, and healing her nervous system's relationship with money transformed not just her finances — but her sense of self-worth and agency. If you've ever thought I should have figured this out by now, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. “There were times I had more money than I knew what to do with—and it still didn’t feel like enough.” –Melissa Eich 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:27 Guest introduction — Melissa: RN and women's wellness coach 03:16 Personal challenge — bad mentorship investment and resulting shame 04:36 Discovery — finding Relaxed Money / Good With Money workshop 05:31 Why this program was different — nervous system work & self‑authored approach 07:48 Program experience — structure, money dates and practical tools 10:25 Applying the methodology — listening to the body and communicating about money 12:24 Results & healing — paying off invoices (debt), releasing shame and surfacing anger 18:24 Business impact — improved coaching and deeper client results 19:30 Closing & next steps — contact details and host call to action Links and Resources: The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Good with Money Connect with Melissa Eich: Website ✨ When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

What if the reason your money isn't growing the way you want has nothing to do with how much you make? In this episode, I'm introducing a powerful new framework called the hidden money ecosystem—and it might completely change the way you understand your financial life. Money is not just math. It's an ecosystem made up of two invisible forces: your energetics (how money feels in your body, your beliefs, your internal wiring) and your engineering (your systems, structures, and strategies). What you see on the surface — your income, savings, lifestyle—is simply the expression of what's happening underneath. If things aren't sticking, growing, or feeling as good as they should, it's not because you're doing it wrong. It's because your ecosystem may need an upgrade. In this episode, I walk you through the four states of the hidden money ecosystem so you can identify where you are and what to shift: Overdrive—Working hard with little structure and low internal safety, creating income without stability. Constriction—Strong systems rooted in fear, protecting money while limiting expansion. Diffusion—High trust and flow, but lacking structure. Money comes in and doesn't stay. Stewarded—The sweet spot, where safety and structure meet, and wealth grows with ease. The goal isn't to judge where you are. It's to notice—so you can begin moving into a more supported, sustainable state. Sustainable wealth isn't built by effort alone. It's built by the architecture of your ecosystem. When your energetics and your engineering strengthen together, you move into a stewarded state—where money no longer needs to be managed from stress, because it begins to genuinely support you. This episode is your invitation to stop trying to fix your money from the outside and start recalibrating what's happening beneath the surface. I'm also sharing a free companion field guide and a quiz so you can identify your current state and take your next aligned step. If you're ready to feel safe, supported, and truly resourced—this is where it begins. “When your energetics are safe, and your engineering is strong, a healthy financial life becomes inevitable.”-Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Introduction: Money, energetics and the Plenty series 03:24 Energetics vs Engineering: Layers behind visible finances 09:31 Four ecosystem states: Framework and quiz 10:40 Overdrive state: Low safety and low structure 15:00 Constriction state: Low safety, high structure 18:11 Diffusion state: High safety, low structure 21:35 Stewarded state: High safety and strong engineering 26:25 Integrating energetics and engineering for sustainable wealth 31:09 Closing & Call to action: Good With Money workshop Links and Resources: Good With Money Workshop The Recalibration Field Guide Quiz ✨ When Does Money Actually Feel Good? I've watched a pattern play out for years—and I know you've felt it, too. Making good money doesn't automatically make you good with money. Even as my income increased, the stress didn't disappear. There was still that low-grade pressure. That quiet hum of not-enough. I kept asking myself: When do I finally get to exhale? I know I'm not alone in that. I've worked with brilliant, high-capacity people — earning anywhere from $50K to $300M—who are still walking around feeling uneasy every time they open their banking app. Guilty when they spend on themselves. Confused about where the money actually goes. Like they should have figured this out by now. Successful on the outside, but not truly resourced on the inside. More money alone doesn't fix this. Because money isn't just math—it's an ecosystem. And if the architecture underneath isn't designed to support wealth, more income just amplifies the pressure. So what actually works? Good With Money is a 3-day live experience designed to help you upgrade the system beneath your financial life — so money can finally feel as good as it looks. Day 1: Audit Your...

The money can come back. The question is: will you? Prit lost over half a million dollars. What followed wasn't just a financial crisis — it was a full reckoning with the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that had been running her life long before the loss happened. In this conversation, we trace the arc from overwhelm and self-blame to something far more powerful: a grounded, embodied relationship with money, trust, and her own authority. We talk about what it actually takes to stop abandoning yourself under pressure — and what becomes possible when you do. This is a story about money. It's also a story about what it means to come home to yourself. “There was a lot of shame because I’m supposed to know better and do better—and I felt like I had failed again.”--Pritranjan Hothi “What if nothing has gone wrong—and your money story is simply asking you to come back to yourself?” –Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Episode introduction and preview of Prit's story 02:10 Prit's breaking point: why she sought help 03:07 Discovering Relaxed Money and first impressions 04:44 How Prit lost money: investments, scams and choices 07:48 Nervous‑system healing, health and personal transformation 12:20 Early practical results: daily habits, family and housing changes 19:36 Business impact: clarity, revamp and future plans 21:32 Closing remarks and how to connect with Prit Links and Resources: The Recalibration Field Guide The Big Money Decision Matrix Connect with Pritranjan Hothi: Instagram Email ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?

What if the reason you're not earning more isn't a capability problem—it's a capacity problem? If you've ever found yourself pumping the brakes on your own income—not because you can't make more money, but because some part of you is afraid of what comes with it—this episode is for you. Welcome to the Recalibration Series. This is a special collection of episodes I've created specifically for high-capacity, high-functioning humans who are ready to recalibrate their relationship with power, money, and safety. If you're someone who generates meaningful income, carries a lot of responsibility, and still feels that low-grade financial anxiety humming in the background no matter how much comes in, you're in exactly the right place. In Part 1, we're diving into one of the most sneaky and under-discussed patterns I see with my students: the belief that more income means more pressure. This unconscious association is quietly keeping so many brilliant, capable people from going all the way — from opening the floodgates to the income, the impact, and the work that truly wants to come through them. Here's what I want you to know: your desires are not by mistake. The things you genuinely want to pursue are pointing you somewhere real. But if you've been turning down the volume on your ambition because you're afraid you won't be able to handle the growth, we have what I call an infrastructure problem. And the good news? Infrastructure can be built. In this episode, I introduce the concept of your hidden money ecosystem—the internal and external scaffolding that either supports your expansion or quietly undermines it. I also walk you through the difference between making more money through effort versus through leverage, and why pouring more income into a system that isn't set up to receive it is like pouring water into a leaky bucket. More water doesn't fix the leaks. It never will. This isn't about working harder. It's about building the structure that lets wealth land— and stay. In this episode, we explore: This episode is for you if: This is Part 1 of the Recalibration Series on Plenty. New episodes in this series drop throughout the season, and each one builds on the last.

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: ritualAt 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 Safety 02:24 Relaxed Money Live: Event Overview and Impact 10:14 Body‑First Event Design: Movement, Nervous System, and Singing 16:29 Surrender and Ritual: Conserving Energy Before Expansion 19:48 Fulfillment over Sales: Sponsorships and Manifestation 35:06 Guest Speakers and Fireside Chats (Patrice, James Wedmore, Lynn Twist) 40:18 Reflections and Key Takeaways from the Event 42:01 Next Steps: Waitlist and Future Events 42:22 Offer: Money Reset Free Audio for Rewiring Wealth Links and Resources: Website Instagram Facebook Youtube Podcast Relaxed Money Live 2027 Waitlist Money Reset The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist Confessions of an Economic Hit Man Soul of Money Institute Pachamama 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...

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 safety We 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.

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.

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.

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: withoutIf 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.

What if the most profitable thing you could do this year isn’t another strategy - but learning how to create real connection? In this episode of Plenty, I’m inviting you into a conversation that challenges one of the most common assumptions in business and money: that control creates security. I share why control is often a stress response and how connection, not control, is what actually expands wealth. Not networking. Not transactional relationships. Real, human, heart-to-heart connection that opens new channels for opportunity, collaboration, and prosperity. I tell a pivotal story about how one meaningful relationship - formed without force or strategy - became a catalyst for millions in revenue and some of the most important friendships of my life. From there, I break down why money is inherently relational, why abundance moves through trust networks, and how the way we relate to people directly shapes the way resources flow to us. This is about shifting from “How do I make it happen?” to “How do I stay in right relationship with what’s happening?” In this episode, you’ll explore: If you make good money but still feel tense, isolated, or like you’re constantly bracing for the next shoe to drop - this episode will give you a new lens. One that leads to wealth that lasts, relationships that matter, and a life that actually feels full.

What if the reason your message isn’t landing - or your sales feel harder than they should - isn’t your strategy… but the sound of your voice? In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with the one-and-only Tracy Goodwin, founder of Captivate the Room, whose work completely changed how I understand communication, connection, and conversion. Tracy doesn’t teach “speaking tips.” She hears voices - literally - and she can identify microscopic sounds in your voice that can quietly repel trust, resonance, and income. According to her decades of research, those tiny sounds can cost you anywhere from 30–90% of your impact and revenue. In our conversation, we explore how the voice carries our nervous system history, our unhealed patterns, and the unconscious strategies we learned early in life to stay safe. Tracy breaks down the seven layers of the voice, including what she calls “voice masks” - the subtle ways we try to prove ourselves, sound professional, be liked, or avoid judgment. These masks don’t make us safer. They make us harder to trust. And then - very vulnerably - I let Tracy read my voice live on the podcast. What unfolds is part masterclass, part nervous-system truth telling, and part real-time healing. Tracy pinpoints where I’m working too hard to be understood, where old achievement patterns still leak into my tone, and why my true vocal superpower is actually fun, passion, and dimensionality - not over-precision or proving. Yes, I cry. And yes, it’s worth listening all the way through. We also talk about: If you’ve ever felt like you’re saying all the “right” things but still not being fully received… If you’ve built success but sense there’s more ease, truth, and power available… If you want your voice to accurately represent who you really are - This episode will change how you show up everywhere.

What if the abundance you’ve been working so hard to create is already here - just waiting for you to ask for it? In this episode of Plenty, I’m sharing one of the most overlooked - and most efficient - ways to unlock prosperity, support, and resources: asking. So many of us were conditioned to believe that being strong means doing everything alone. That wisdom lives in pushing harder, figuring it out in our heads, and proving our self-sufficiency. But that mindset is exactly what keeps abundance just out of reach. In this conversation, I walk you through a real-life example of how simply reaching out - raising your hand and saying “I need support” - can shift circumstances without force or struggle. I talk about why what you desire already exists, how scarcity is rooted in the illusion of separation, and why over-relying on intellect and rugged individualism actually shuts down creativity, clarity, and resource flow. You’ll hear why asking is not weakness - it’s strategy. It’s intelligence. It’s leadership. And it’s how prosperity actually moves. This episode will support you if: I’ll leave you with one powerful question that can change everything: What do you need help with right now - and who can you ask? Because abundance requires flow.
