    From “I Want More” to True Financial Expansion - Without Burnout: Relaxed Money Case Study with Nichelle Frye

    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 You’ll Learn

    • Why “wanting more” (even when things are fine) is a valid and powerful starting point
    • The missing piece of traditional “money mindset” work—and why it often doesn’t stick
    • How nervous system safety changes your financial behavior and results
    • The difference between an “emergency fund” and a “financial cushion” (and why language matters)
    • How to create tangible financial stability without pressure or burnout
    • Why showing up live (instead of relying on replays) can shift your results
    • The role of choice, sovereignty, and gentle transformation in lasting change

     “For the first time in my life, I built a six-month cushion. And it didn’t come from panic—it came from feeling supported.” –Nichelle Frye

    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 Hidden Money Ecosystem

    Identify where your system is strong, where it’s leaking, and whether it’s currently built for survival or for expansion.


    Day 2: Install Financial Infrastructure

    Strengthen the foundation beneath your money so it can come in, stay, and grow — sustainably.


    Day 3: Your Relaxed Money Roadmap

    Walk away with a clear, structured plan for the kind of expansion your system can actually support.


    This happens once a year.


    If you’re ready to stop managing money from pressure — and start experiencing it from a place of safety, clarity, and real support — this is your moment.


    More money isn’t the answer. A stewarded system is.

    152. The Subtle Money Leaks That Shape Your Financial Life (And What to Shift First) (The Recalibration Part 3)

    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:

    • Why money leaks are a structural issue, not a discipline or capacity issue — and why that distinction changes everything
    • How your hidden money ecosystem (the energetics and the engineering) shapes your entire financial reality
    • The four most common money leaks I see in high-capacity, high-earning people — including scarcity thinking, money avoidance, no containment architecture, and earning as the only strategy
    • Why scarcity is a paradigm, not a circumstance — and how it operates independently of income level
    • How money avoidance shows up as vagueness, not just fear — and why what you don't regularly see can't support you
    • What "containment architecture" is and why the absence of it means money arrives but has nowhere to go
    • Why using yourself as the infrastructure is a guaranteed path to burnout — and what to build instead

    Key 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

    More Money, Still Never Enough - Until This: Relaxed Money Case Study with Melissa Eich

    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.

    151. The Hidden Money Ecosystem – And What State Yours Is In (The Recalibration Part 2)

    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.

    Case Study - From Shame to Self-Trust: Reclaiming Power After “Messing Up” With Money: Relaxed Money Case Study with Pritranjan Hothi (Prit)

    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

    150. How to Increase Income Without Increasing Pressure (The Recalibration Part 1)

    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:

    • Why high-functioning earners unconsciously associate more income with more pressure (and how to shift it)
    • The hidden money ecosystem concept and why it's the real foundation of financial expansion
    • The difference between effort-based income and leverage-based income — and where you might be leaving leverage on the table
    • Why making more money alone won't fix what feels broken — and what actually will
    • How to move from trying to hold more to being supported by the structures you build

    This episode is for you if:

    • You make good money, but still feel anxious about it
    • Big revenue months bring a rush—followed immediately by "what if I can't keep this up?"
    • You've tried earning more, mindset work, spreadsheets, and financial advisors— and something still doesn't click
    • You're tired of being the infrastructure and ready to be supported by it

    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. I can't wait to walk through this with you.

    149. The Top 7 Lessons From Hosting “The Best Event Ever” According to Our Attendees of Relaxed Money Live

    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

    🎙 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.

    148. How No Longer Trying To Convince Anyone and Putting Down Her Sword Freed Dr. Kelly Brogan (and Opened Up More Abundance)

    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. In my case, activism was an elaborate avoidance strategy.” — Kelly Brogan

    147. I Would Not Be the Woman I Am Today Without This Woman: An Intimate Conversation with Regena Thomashauer, aka Mama Gena, aka The Queen of Pleasure

    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

    146. How to Tune In To What Turns You On and Access More Money and Power As A Result with Genevieve LeJeune

    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.

    145. How to Talk About Money & Death With Your Loved Ones (and Why Waiting or Avoiding it is a Big Mistake) with Amber Saunders (145)

    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 conflict
    • How to start estate conversations with parents or partners without it sounding like you’re after an inheritance
    • The first non-negotiable steps every adult needs in place—even if you don’t think you have “enough” assets yet
    • Why clarity around what you own (yes, even a simple list) can save your family years of stress
    • How inheritances go wrong—and how to pass down wisdom and values, not just money
    • Why no AI tool or fill-in-the-blank document can replace the human side of legacy planning

    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
