Plenty with Kate Northrup

• 139: Shadow Money, Frequency & How Money Heals Through Us with The Money Shaman Ry Schwartz

  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 prosperityThis 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.“Not all money is the same. It carries different vibratory qualities depending on the energies it’s passed through.”–The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 — Entering the portal: Blue Lotus, synchronicity & the energetic opening04:38 — What Sacred Commerce is & why it’s a bridge beyond capitalism10:32 — Wealth as spiritual: permission to thrive, earn, and support your lineage14:25 — Widening the scope: giving back, sourcing energy beyond the self19:09 — The truth about “enough”: resources, circulation & debunking zero-sum thinking22:33 — Ceremony as a business tool: accessing other realms for support26:14 — Wealth, privilege, and survivor’s guilt: metabolizing the complexity30:27 — Asha’s big why: land conservation & land-back as sacred commerce37:47 — Merging the magical & the logical: operating beyond a 3D-only business43:41 — Human design & astrology as instructional systems for your body of work50:37 — The power of offerings: plants, essences, and ceremonial support57:22 — Your dharma type: the archetypal soul energy you are here to embodyLinks and Resources:Money ResetConnect with Ry Schwartz:LinkedIn✨ 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.

• 138: The Energetics of Financial Boundaries

  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 yourselfYou’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.“Financial boundaries are the riverbanks that keep your abundance flowing where it’s meant to go.” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Financial Boundaries00:38 Understanding Financial Boundaries01:13 The Importance of Financial Boundaries02:16 Signs You Need Financial Boundaries03:08 Decision Fatigue and Financial Boundaries04:19 Creating Abundance Agreements05:24 Aligning Spending with Values07:48 Consumer Culture and Financial Awareness08:54 The Purpose of Money10:00 Setting Financial Boundaries11:49 Examples of Personal Financial Boundaries13:06 Learning from Financial Mistakes13:54 Practicing Financial Awareness14:30 Operationalizing Financial Boundaries15:01 Client Communication Boundaries16:02 General Financial Guidelines17:06 Reframing Financial Boundaries17:32 Safety in Financial Boundaries18:23 Empowered Financial Decisions19:33 Conclusion and Next StepsLinks and Resources:The Money Reset✨ Overnight Rockstar: A Proven Path to New Eyes, New Clients, and Real GrowthYou’re doing meaningful work.

• 137: From Coach to Performer: A Story of Midlife Becoming with Chela Davison

  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🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 – Introduction to Resilience & Identity00:26 – Guest Background & Creative Recovery03:00 – Turning 40, Maturity & Evolving Identity05:12 – Childhood Messaging & Self-Perception07:35 – Career Success, Challenges & Vulnerability09:13 – Burnout, Loss & Identity Crisis11:51 – Reclaiming Creative Life Force13:07 – Resentment, Breadwinning & Gender Expectations16:21 – Healing Through Vulnerability & Relationship Dynamics19:17 – The Influence of Patriarchy & Processing Resentment21:25 – Creative Recovery, New Projects & Self-Discovery27:22 – Vulnerability in Creative Processes & Community38:19 – Social Media, Creative Resistance & Staying With the Work44:18 – Art, Healing & Creative Integrity50:42 – The Journey of Art, Commerce & Creative Community54:49 – Closing Thoughts & ResourcesLinks and Resources:Free Money Breakthrough GuideConnect with Chela Davison:WebsiteWizdotainmentA Little Bit MuchInstagram✨ 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.

• 136: How to Feel Safe Earning More (Without Sabotaging or Overspending It)

  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 consistencyThis 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."If you've ever made more money only to find yourself shrinking back, overspending, or sabotaging it, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you — it’s because a part of you doesn’t feel safe with more." –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Welcome + Why earning more can feel unsafe02:10 Justin Bieber example: making more ≠ keeping more04:05 Lifestyle creep + hedonic adaptation explained06:00 What your “money nervous system thermostat” really is08:15 How childhood environment shapes your financial capacity10:20 Why expansion can trigger sabotage, fear, or shame12:45 Overspending, overgiving, or freezing: different dysregulation patterns14:30 Tools to signal safety during financial expansion17:05 Kate’s Hay House book-deal story + co-regulation19:40 Questions to ask your body to expand your money capacity21:30 Closing + The Money Reset invitationLinks and Resources:Neurosomatic IntelligenceRelaxed Money Live✨ The Money Reset: Feel Good with Money—No Matter How Much You MakeMaking more money doesn’t guarantee financial ease… but this will.
