100. Why Chasing More Money Makes Stress Worse (And How to Break the Cycle Forever) Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

Are you stuck in the cycle of chasing more money, thinking that once you hit a certain number, you’ll finally feel secure? I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it can be.

In this episode of the Plenty Podcast, I dive deep into why more money isn’t necessarily the solution to financial stress—and how shifting your relationship with money can set you free.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that higher income guarantees financial stability, but the truth is, financial stress often persists without the right mindset and systems. Studies show that beyond an income of $70,000, additional money doesn’t significantly reduce stress or increase happiness. So if working harder and earning more isn’t the answer, what is?

I’ll share my personal journey of shifting from financial pressure to prioritizing relaxation—how doing less actually led to a 50% revenue increase in my business. We’ll explore why our nervous system and our bank account are deeply connected, and how healing our relationship with money can create true abundance.

This episode isn’t just about earning more—it’s about feeling truly at ease with money. If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of stress-driven earning and start making financial decisions from a place of sufficiency, this conversation is for you.

“We’ve been conditioned to believe that more money will make us feel safer, but if we don’t address our relationship with money, we’ll just end up chasing more without ever feeling secure.” -Kate Northrup

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, money stress never truly disappeared. I still felt a near-constant low-grade scarcity and pressure. I kept wondering:

“When do I finally get to exhale?”

And I know I’m not alone.

I’ve seen brilliant, ambitious people—earning anywhere from $50K to $300M—still feeling:
☑ Uneasy checking their bank accounts
☑ Guilty when they finally buy something just for them
☑ Confused about where their money actually goes
☑ Like they should have “figured this out” by now
☑ Unhappy and wondering if it’s all worth it

Here’s the truth: More money alone doesn’t fix this.

So what does?

99. From Layoff to 125% Income Increase: Relaxed Money Case Study with Lauren & Brian of Yogi Beans Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

What if the financial security you’re craving doesn’t come from working harder—but from trusting more?

In this episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with Lauren and Brian Chaitoff of Yogi Beans to discuss their incredible transformation from financial uncertainty to thriving abundance. When Brian lost his high-paying job, they were forced to take a hard look at their finances and business, which were already facing challenges. Struggling with manifestation and abundance concepts, they knew something had to shift—but they weren’t sure how.

Through their journey in the Relaxed Money program, Lauren and Brian discovered the power of nervous system healing, practical money management, and reframing their beliefs around success. By focusing on gratitude, ease, and self-investment, they not only increased their revenue by 30% but also grew their net income by an incredible 125%—all while creating a more aligned and fulfilling life.

Their story is a powerful testament to the fact that healing your relationship with money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about creating more space, freedom, and trust in every area of your life.

Listen now and get ready to shift your money story!

92. 4 questions to ask yourself when pricing your offerings and services Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

Are you pricing your offers in a way that truly reflects their value—or are you undervaluing your work?

Pricing can feel tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of Plenty, I explore how to cultivate a positive relationship with money, time, and energy so that your pricing supports true abundance—without burnout.

I’ll walk you through the four essential questions to ask yourself when setting prices for your offers, consulting services, or speaking fees. Instead of charging based on time alone, I’ll show you how to price based on experience, transformation, and results. I’ll also debunk the myth that discounting attracts more clients.

Through real-world examples, I’ll illustrate how to align your pricing with your personal and business goals, making sure your offers support both your financial growth and your energetic well-being.

Tune in and start charging what your work is truly worth!
