What if you could get more of what you want in life.
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

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:
If 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

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. And flow requires connection.
XO,
Kate

What if the life and business you worked so hard to build suddenly stopped feeling worth it - and you listened?
In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with Natalie Ellis, founder of Boss Babe, for a real, behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when success outpaces alignment - and how to rebuild everything around what actually matters.
Natalie shares the moment that changed everything: sitting in a meeting while her six-month-old daughter cried in the next room, realizing her calendar, her business, and her nervous system were no longer livable. From that breaking point, she made radical decisions - stepping away, buying her business back, burning down misaligned offers, and rebuilding a company that prioritizes spaciousness, family, and well-being without sacrificing revenue.
We talk about:
This conversation is for you if you’ve built something impressive - but your body is asking for a different pace. If you want to grow in a way that feels sustainable, spacious, and deeply grounded. If you’re ready to stop organizing your life around urgency and start organizing it around what creates real freedom.
This is not about having less ambition.
It’s about doing business from safety, clarity, and choice.

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:
This is an invitation to stop chasing artificial beginnings and start living inside cyclical momentum - where your energy, creativity, and income compound naturally.

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.

✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make
Rewire your nervous system for wealth, stop the money-in/money-out cycle, and create sustainable abundance. Includes the 5-Minute Calm Cashflow Ritual.
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

✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You Make
Rewire your nervous system for wealth, stop the money-in/money-out cycle, and create sustainable abundance. Includes the 5-Minute Calm Cashflow Ritual.
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.
