What if your business was a temple?

In this week’s episode, Kate talks with Asha Ramakrishna—priestess, molecular biologist, and author—about Sacred Commerce: an emergent framework bridging capitalism and consciousness. Asha reveals the four ethos of sacred commerce—Feel Good, Be Wealthy, Give Back, and Liberate—and shares how merging the magical and the logical allows us to heal our relationship with money and purpose.

They explore Blue Lotus as a sacred symbol of rebirth, Lakshmi energy, human design as a business map, and how knowing your dharma type can guide your offerings and marketing in an energetically aligned way.

In this episode you’ll discover:

✨ The four ethos of Sacred Commerce
✨ Why pleasure is essential to prosperity
✨ How wealth, dharma, and liberation interconnect
✨ Using astrology and human design to decode your “soul map”
✨ Blue Lotus, Lakshmi, and ceremony as allies in business
✨ Why your conscious sun holds your key to expression

“Sacred commerce is about merging the magical and the logical—heaven and earth, sun and moon—so that business becomes a bridge to liberation.” — Asha Ramakrishna

What if dissolving shame is the missing step between you and real financial momentum?

In this solo episode of Plenty, Kate unpacks the tight grip of debt shame and financial secrecy—and why hiding from the numbers stalls your progress far more than the numbers themselves. She reframes debt as “invoices for blessings already received” and makes the critical distinction between high-interest consumer debt and debt that makes you money (the positive “spread” when your return outpaces your interest). You’ll also hear why all-or-nothing thinking is a nervous-system red flag, and how telling someone safe is often the first step to clarity and action.

We cover: releasing shame by bringing things into the light, building capacity to “do the math,” and seeing nuanced opportunities—so you can either dissolve unhelpful debt or strategically leverage it for wealth.

Listen now to discover:
✨ Why shame halts financial progress—and how sharing it sets you free
✨ “Invoices for blessings already received” as a practical reframe for debt
✨ The difference between consumer debt and return-producing leverage (the spread)
✨ How dysregulation fuels avoidant money habits—and what to do instead
✨ A simple truth-telling step: tell someone safe and start looking at the numbers

“I call debt invoices for blessings already received.” — Kate Northrup

What if healing the masculine is the key to deeper love, better health, and a more peaceful world?

In this powerful episode of Plenty, I sit down with Dr. Brad Jacobs, an integrative precision medicine doctor and thought leader who bridges Western science, Eastern wisdom, and emotional intelligence. Together, we explore what it really looks like to heal father wounds, move beyond toxic masculinity, and find balance between strength and softness—both within men and in our relationships with them.

We talk about Brad’s personal journey from reactivity and anger to grounded emotional presence—a transformation that reshaped how he parents, partners, and practices medicine. You’ll hear how he learned to hold boundaries without shutting down, create safety without control, and embody a new model of masculine leadership rooted in awareness, humility, and heart.

We also dive into how our emotional patterns influence our health, the importance of processing anger and stress through the body (not just the mind), and what happens when we offer ourselves—and our partners—compassion instead of judgment. Brad shares how practices like Hakomi therapy, mindfulness, and even simple breath awareness can help us release inherited emotional “sludge” and build resilience from the inside out.

Whether you’re navigating your own relationship dynamics, raising emotionally intelligent kids, or simply curious about how to create more presence and connection in your life, this conversation offers both science and soul.

Together, we explore what it means to integrate—to honor the full spectrum of who we are—so that healing the masculine becomes part of healing all of us. 💛

Listen now to discover:
✨ What “healing the masculine” really means and how it impacts your relationships
✨ The link between emotional regulation, nervous system health, and longevity
✨ Simple practices to help you pause reactivity and return to grounded presence
✨ How to support the men you love in reconnecting to their emotional selves

“I realized I don’t have to match someone else’s emotional storm. I can hold the line with love and let them move through it —that’s real strength.” –Dr. Brad Jacobs
