What does it really take to stay connected in love, life, and business—especially when you’re doing all three with the same person?

In this deeply personal and heart-opening episode of the Plenty Podcast, I’m joined by my favorite guest (and life partner), Mike Watts, as we celebrate 11 years of marriage and 14 years of building a life and business together.

We get into the real talk—what we’ve learned (and unlearned) about marriage, money, parenting, business, and our own healing journeys. From making the big decision to move to Nashville, to shifting from survival mode into what I’m calling the era of easy blessings, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re evolving as individuals, as partners, and as co-founders.
Here’s what we dive into:

• Why filling your own cup is essential before pouring into your partnership
• The systems we’ve put in place to support—not strain—our relationship while running a business together
• Mike’s health and healing journey, including his decision to have surgery to remove a titanium plate and what that taught us about listening to your body
• What it really takes to co-parent while building a company (hint: it’s not about doing it all)
• Insights Mike gained from leading men’s circles in our Relaxed Money community—and why men need spaces to be seen and supported too
• How we’re redefining our relationship with success, rest, and what's enough

We also talk about the importance of clear communication (especially around finances), how modern fatherhood is evolving, and why it’s critical to create a nurturing environment for both our children and ourselves.

This episode is packed with honesty, laughter, practical wisdom, and love. Whether you’re navigating a new season in your partnership, craving more ease in your business, or simply seeking a deeper connection to your own truth—this conversation is for you.

🎧 Tune in for a refreshing dose of realness and a reminder that abundance isn’t just about what you have—it’s about how you live and love.

“I have to get my own cup filled outside of you, and I need to learn to bring a full cup to you.” - Mike Watts

Are your emotions actually holding the key to manifesting what you want?

We’ve all been told to “think positive” and “keep the vibes high” when it comes to manifesting, but what if that approach is actually slowing you down?

In this episode of the Plenty podcast, I’m inviting you into a whole new way of thinking about manifestation—one that’s rooted not in performance or pretending, but in neuroscience and truth-telling.

We’re talking about manifestation that works—no faking, just the real you. And that starts with what I call emotional metabolism: the process of fully feeling and moving through our emotions so they don’t clog our energetic systems and block our desires from flowing in.

You’ll hear:

• Why "good vibes only" is a myth that keeps us stuck
• What it really means to be a vibrational match for what we want
• How to metabolize emotions like grief, anger, and sadness (and why it’s essential to do so)
• My favorite nervous system tools (like havening) to help you feel safe while feeling deeply
• Why truth, not just positivity, is the most magnetic frequency of all

If you’ve been doing all the “right” manifesting practices and still feel like something’s missing, this episode is for you.

✨ Magic Maker with Emily Fletcher ✨
If you’ve ever found yourself doing all the things to manifest your desires—vision boards, journaling, thinking only positive thoughts—but still feel like things just aren’t landing… I want to introduce you to a dear friend and someone whose work I deeply respect: Emily Fletcher, founder of Ziva Meditation.

Emily is hosting a free live workshop called Magic Maker on July 22nd, and I cannot recommend it enough.

She’s worked with over 50,000 people—including Navy SEALs, Broadway stars, and Fortune 100 execs—and she’s teaching how to magnetize love, health, and abundance using her embodied manifesting method that blends neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and deep truth-telling.

This is not fluff. It’s the real deal. And it's SO aligned with what we talk about here on Plenty—especially the emotional and energetic clarity that lets you actually receive what you desire.

You’ll learn:
✨ How to clear hidden blocks (like unprocessed emotions and nervous system overwhelm)
✨ How to get clear on what you truly want
✨ And how to become a vibrational match—not through pretending, but through presence and resonance

I’ll be there. I’d love for you to join me.

Let’s stop trying harder and start allowing more. Let’s make magic.

Have you ever wondered why you’re feeling tired even though you’re “doing all the right things”?

In this powerful two-part episode of Plenty, I sit down with Dr. Erika Siegel—naturopathic doctor, licensed acupuncturist, and author of The Nourish Me Kitchen—to explore how to truly fuel your life force in midlife and beyond.

We dive deep into what it really takes to generate sustainable, vibrant energy—not just the kind that gets you through the day, but the kind that allows you to thrive. Dr. Siegel shares wisdom from her decades of clinical practice and personal experience, including how her mother’s bold approach to healing saved her father’s life and inspired Erika’s own journey into functional medicine.

We cover:

• The surprising reasons you’re feeling drained—and what to do about it
• How to listen to your body’s cues and stop outsourcing your inner wisdom
• Mitochondrial health, hormone balance, and how to support your adrenals
• Simple, practical upgrades to your food, sleep, light, and movement habits
• Why rest (yes, even two quiet minutes in your car!) can be as powerful as exercise
• The truth about plant-based vs. animal-based nutrition—and how to tailor your approach

You’ll walk away from this conversation with tangible steps to nourish your body on a cellular level, reduce overwhelm, and feel more in sync with yourself than ever before.

Dr. Siegel’s integrative approach and deeply human perspective will leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to make small, powerful changes that restore your energy from the inside out.

✨ Grab her book, The Nourish Me Kitchen, and get ready to feel more at home in your body.

“We’ve been outsourcing our own wisdom for a long time. Your body knows. The key is to listen—and trust what it’s telling you.” –Dr. Erika Siegel
