Plenty with Kate Northrup

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

✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?

Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey? I’ve created a special Money Breakthrough Guide just for you! I interviewed over 20 high-earning women and asked them to reveal their most powerful money breakthroughs—the kind of insights usually shared behind closed doors. Now I’m passing them on to you, completely free.

Head to katenorthrup.com/breakthroughs to grab the guide PLUS a mini-lesson where I share my biggest money shifts and a nervous system healing tool to help you expand your abundance capacity.

This is your chance to transform your relationship with money from the inside out—grab it now! 💫

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:
Why control actually blocks connection - and connection is where wealth grows
How trust, presence, and generosity create real opportunity
Why high-achieving, successful people still feel empty or stressed at the top
How prioritizing relationships becomes a practical, powerful wealth strategy
Simple ways to nurture connections that compound over time
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.

XO,
Kate

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:
Why people decide whether they trust you in under 3 seconds
Why trust alone doesn’t lead to buying - connection does
How mimicking other leaders damages retention and resonance
Why your body - not your script - creates magnetic communication
How clearing your voice can transform relationships, not just revenue
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.

XO,
Kate

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:
You’re carrying the belief that it’s “all on you”
You feel stuck trying to solve something alone in your head
You want more ease, support, and flow with money and resources
You’re ready to work smarter instead of harder
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:
The hidden cost of building success from chaos and survival mode
How motherhood rewired Natalie’s identity, boundaries, and relationship with work
What it actually looks like to operationalize a nervous-system-first business
Why “enough” is a powerful financial strategy - and how knowing your number changes everything
Letting go of status, comparison, and the pressure to want more just because you can
What’s genuinely working right now in online business, social media, and AI (and how Natalie is using it without burning out)
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.

XO,
Kate
