127. How Women Actually Heal: Nervous System, Vitality, Hormones & Pleasure with Dr. Sara Gottfried Szal Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

What does it really mean to heal as women—in our bodies, minds, and spirits?

For too long, women have been told to push through exhaustion, overfunction at every turn, and manage "all the things" while our own vitality suffers. But what if true healing isn't about doing more? What if it's about reclaiming nervous system regulation, honoring our hormonal rhythms, embracing pleasure as medicine, and living from authentic wholeness?

In this transformative episode of Plenty, I spent an entire day in deep conversation with Dr. Sara Gottfried, a pioneering women's health physician, hormone expert, and bestselling author. Together, we explored the complex realities of women's health today—from navigating a medical system that often dismisses women's experiences to supporting ourselves through major transitions like perimenopause and menopause.

This conversation touches the core of everything we explore in this community: how nervous system balance, embodied pleasure, and true vitality become the foundation for not just surviving, but thriving as women.

What You'll Discover in This Episode

Women's Health & Medical Advocacy:

Why women's health faces unique challenges in traditional medicine
How to reclaim agency over your healing journey
Strategies for advocating for yourself in medical settings

Hormones, Fertility & Life Transitions:

Essential preparation during reproductive years for a vibrant menopause
What every woman should know about hormones and vitality
Supporting your body through perimenopause and beyond

Nervous System & Embodied Living:

The crucial role of nervous system regulation in women's health
How boundaries and pleasure practices support healing
Why your "whole body yes" is your greatest navigation tool

Money, Safety & Women's Bodies:

The profound connection between financial security and physical health
How our relationship with money impacts our sense of safety
Building true abundance from an embodied place

Dr. Sara's wisdom, combined with her generous spirit and clinical expertise, creates a conversation that feels both deeply personal and universally relevant. Whether you're in your twenties planning ahead, navigating perimenopause, or supporting other women in your life, this episode offers practical insights grounded in both science and intuitive wisdom.

This conversation left me feeling inspired, more grounded in my body, and even more committed to supporting women in living fully resourced, embodied, and abundant lives.

126. How I Structure My Days, Weeks & Months to Stay Aligned with My Goals Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

What if staying aligned with your goals didn't require doing more—but doing less on purpose?

In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly how I structure my days, weeks, and months so my time, energy, and money are all pulling in the same direction. I start with the nervous system piece—because if I'm wired for busyness, I'll sabotage white space—then share the practical scaffolding that keeps me focused on what truly moves the needle.

You'll discover:

The "crowd it out" method — Put the most important things in first, then let everything else fill around them
My non-negotiable guardrails — No Monday appointments, hard stop after 4 p.m., a real lunch, and no more than 2–3 Zooms per day
Energy-saving batching strategies — Like stacking podcast recordings to eliminate context switching and preserve mental bandwidth
The 80/20 rule in practice — Plus the 80/20 of that 20% for laser focus on what truly matters
Boundary mastery — Why my default answer is "no" unless a request clearly serves my priorities
Life-force energy as a success KPI — Tracking not just metrics, but how alive and energized you feel
Seasonal business rhythms — Using my "Upward Cycle of Success" (emergence, visibility, culmination, fertile void) to build in natural ebb and flow instead of constant grind
Annual planning that honors your whole life — Our family-first approach where personal "boulders" get calendar priority before business goals

If you're ready to create results with more ease and integrity, this episode is your step-by-step blueprint.

125. Samantha Skelly on Burning Down a 7-Figure Business to Come Alive Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

What if the bravest way to grow your life is to burn down the business that's "working"?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Samantha Skelly, founder of Pause Breathwork, to explore her holy-disruptive moment of closing a wildly successful, multi-seven-figure emotional eating company overnight. Following a crystal-clear divine directive, she rebuilt her work around breath as a path to healing and leadership. We dive into the fireworks-in-the-sky signs, middle-of-the-night downloads, and the day she literally hit "cancel" on recurring revenue to honor her soul's assignment.

You'll hear us explore:

The science and soul of breathwork — How it shifts the body through the amygdala and vagus nerve, creating an 8-minute doorway into altered states, and why gentle, trauma-informed facilitation is essential
Running a company the feminine way — Embracing spaciousness, cyclical leadership, and building profits without self-betrayal
Lessons from a year that "built" her — Developing discernment with team dynamics, keeping the main thing the main thing, and choosing depth over novelty for true mastery
Creating a sustainable daily breath practice — including how to adapt your practice during tender seasons like pregnancy

If you're feeling the nudge to pivot—or simply to soften how you work—this conversation offers both permission and practice. Press play, breathe with us, and let your next chapter arrive with more ease, truth, and plenty.

124. Surprise Questions, Soul Answers: My Podcast Producer Asked Me Everything Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever had your intuition whisper "stop" while your business (or bills) shouted "go"?

In this week's Plenty episode, I hand the mic to my producer for a surprise Q&A—and I share honest, behind-the-scenes stories about trusting inner knowing, closing successful offers that are no longer aligned, navigating chaotic seasons, and holding both structure and flow in business and life. You'll hear how I work with my nervous system when money pressure spikes, why "feminine" leadership doesn't mean avoiding systems, and how I stay in integrity when industry hype says otherwise.

What you'll learn:

Intuition vs. obligation: Why every leap I've taken that "didn't make sense on paper" ultimately created more alignment and revenue
Doing less, not avoiding life: The difference between regenerative rest and resistance (and how I spot it in myself)
Structure and surrender: How healthy systems let your creative, feminine energy flourish—without outsourcing your power
Rhythms through hard seasons: Why cycles include creation and destruction, and how to trust the rhythm even when life feels anything but "in flow"
Money, nervous system, and Source: Practical ways I reset when finances feel tight so I can see possibilities again
Integrity in the personal-growth space: Why I don't believe in "having it all figured out" and how I stay honest about being human

This conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a business and life from authentic alignment.

“Feminine leadership doesn’t mean avoiding structure—it means building containers that let you exhale.” –Kate Northrup

123. Healing Worthiness: Christine Gutierrez on Addiction, Power & Pleasure as Medicine Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever felt like you have to earn your worth—whether by over-functioning or staying stuck in struggle?

In this week's Plenty episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, mentor, and author Christine Gutierrez to explore healing worthiness through sobriety, power, and pleasure as medicine. We dive into why so many of us confuse toxic capitalism with true abundance, how to let old identities "die" so new ones can be born, and the practical, compassionate steps to reclaim your inherent worth—no proving required.

What you'll learn:

Worthiness first, money second: How rooting in inherent worth transforms your relationship with money and expands real abundance (without the hustle-and-prove loop)
Sobriety—many paths, same heartbeat: Christine shares a non-dogmatic approach to changing your relationship with alcohol and choosing self-tenderness over self-punishment
Masks that drain us: Recognizing people-pleasing, "good girl" conditioning, and hyper-independence—and how to gently retire these exhausting patterns
The "life-death-life" cycle: Why true thriving includes endings, mess, and rebirth—and how to meet transitions with both grit and honey
Pleasure as spiritual pathway: Rewriting inherited scripts that glorify suffering and renounce the body to reclaim joy as sacred
Receiving with dignity: Especially for women of color, claiming fair compensation as part of collective healing—not a betrayal of your values

This conversation will leave you with permission to stop performing your worth and start living from it.

120. From Hair Routines to Launch Copy: How I’m Actually Using AI in Real Life Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

What if I told you AI could help you craft the perfect hair restoration protocol, write launch copy that actually converts, AND design a nervous system reset—all while you’re making dinner?

I’ll be honest—I used to think AI was just another shiny object that would steal our creativity and leave us even more scattered than we already are. But then I had this incredible conversation with my dear friend Natalie MacNeil (she’s basically the queen of embodied, ethical AI), and it completely shifted everything for me.

Now? AI has become like having the most intuitive creative partner who never gets tired and always shows up ready to support whatever wild idea I’m cooking up.

In this episode, I’m getting real about how I actually use AI in my everyday life—not the theoretical stuff, but the nitty-gritty, behind-the-scenes moments. Like when I needed to create the most magical Easter Bunny scavenger hunt for my daughters during our move, or when I wanted a personalized hair health protocol that actually worked with my body’s rhythms.

I’m also sharing something I’m incredibly excited about: Abby AI, our custom-trained coach who’s been learning from everything we’ve created at Relaxed Money. The results our community is getting? They’re honestly blowing my mind.

Whether you’re AI-curious, completely resistant, or already diving deep, I hope this conversation shows you how technology can actually amplify your humanity instead of replacing it.

✨ What we’re diving into:

🧠 How I went from AI skeptic to conscious collaborator
🎻 The sweetest way AI helped my family during a big transition
💇‍♀️ My custom hair protocol that actually works with my hormones
❤️‍🩹 An AI-designed nervous system and HRV reset (that shocked me with how spot-on it was)
📈 Why Abby AI is giving better money coaching than I could do myself
📝 The SheMakesBank AI breakthrough that transformed our launch strategy

The truth is, whether you’re using AI to organize your thoughts or plan your week, there’s a way to make it feel deeply aligned with who you are.

119. Fasting, Feminine Power & Vitality at Every Age with Dr. Mindy Pelz Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered if the way you’re eating and fasting is actually working with your body—or against it? Discover how to transform your relationship with food and fasting by honoring your body's natural rhythms.

I am so thrilled to bring you this powerful conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, the author of Fast Like a Girl, whose work has been life-changing for me personally. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to honor the rhythms of our bodies—especially as women—and how fasting, when done in sync with our cycles (or the moon!), can be a radical act of self-care and empowerment.

Dr. Mindy shares her own story of hitting a hormonal wall in her 40s, how she healed herself through lifestyle changes, and how she went on to help thousands of women do the same. We talk about the phases of the menstrual cycle, why the one-size-fits-all approach to dieting is broken, and what to do if you don’t have a cycle or are in perimenopause or menopause.

✨ In this conversation, we explore:

🌀 How to sync your fasting practice with your cycle—or the moon if you’re no longer cycling
🥔 Why sweet potatoes might just be your new hormonal BFF
🔥 The hidden role of cortisol in weight gain and burnout (and how to protect your energy)
🧠 How the female brain changes with age—and why ketones may be the key to vitality later in life
🌕 The magic of cyclical living and how it can be a portal to deep self-trust and power

Whether you’re navigating irregular cycles, burnout, or just craving a more nourishing relationship with your body, this episode is here to remind you: you are nature. You are rhythmic. You are powerful. And when you align with that, everything changes.

Enjoy this beautiful conversation—I know I did. 💛

“Why would we eat the same way throughout our whole cycle? Why have we been searching for that one diet? This is why every woman has failed at dieting—because we never go, oh wait… I’m a rhythmic being.” - Dr. Mindy Pelz

118. The Girl Who Baptized Herself: Meggan Watterson on Worth, Divinity & Coming Home to Yourself Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

What if no one is coming to save you…because the one you’ve been waiting for is you?

In this episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meggan Watterson, whose new book The Girl Who Baptized Herself has cracked my heart wide open. This conversation is a soul homecoming—one that explores the raw, real journey of reclaiming our worth, rewriting our spiritual stories, and becoming the version of ourselves we’ve always been, but perhaps were never given permission to fully be.

We talk about:

✨ The moment Meggan chose herself and stopped settling for crumbs
🕊️ The sacred story of Thecla—the girl who baptized herself—and why it matters more than ever today
🍷 What getting “sober sober” really means (and how it was never about the wine)
💔 How trauma shapes our self-worth and why healing means going all the way in and all the way through
🌹 Why coming home to your body is the most radical spiritual act of all

This episode is for anyone who has felt stuck in a story that doesn’t fit, who’s been waiting for external validation or permission, or who simply knows there’s more—but isn’t sure how to get there.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, longed for a deeper connection with the divine (especially in a female body), or needed a reminder that coming home to yourself is the most sacred journey of all—this conversation is for you.

Listen in and be reminded: you already are the one you’ve been waiting for.

With so much love,
Kate
