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

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.

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.

Do you avoid talking about money with your partner because it always ends in tension, shutdowns, or shame spirals? You’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing how you can turn money conversations from a source of stress into one of the most life-giving, intimate practices in your relationship. Whether you’re dating, partnered, or married, learning how to talk money with your honey is one of the most powerful ways to co-create a life of alignment, abundance, and love.

I’ll walk you through the four foundational steps to have clear, connected, and empowered financial conversations. From healing your money stories to creating shared abundance agreements, we’re covering what it takes to get on the same financial page—without sacrificing your individuality or values.

I’m also pulling back the curtain on how Mike and I navigate our own finances, including what works for us and why. Spoiler alert: It’s not about doing it “right.” It’s about doing it consciously and together.

If you’re ready to stop avoiding the money talk and start using it to deepen your connection, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I cover:

• The real reason most money fights happen—and how to stop the cycle
• How to uncover and heal your personal (and generational) money stories
• The key to creating abundance agreements that actually work
• Why caregiving and invisible labor deserve more value in your partnership
• How to align your finances with what truly lights you up—individually and together

Ever wondered how someone goes from six figures of debt to co-owning a hotel—without waiting to “have it all together” first?

In this energizing episode of Plenty, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Angela Matthews, founder of the Happy Investor Method—and let me tell you, her story is nothing short of extraordinary.

Ange went from working a job she didn’t love and being over six figures in debt to becoming a self-made investor, hotel co-owner, and truly abundant human being. She doesn’t just break the rules—she rewrites them in a way that invites us all into a more empowered relationship with money.

In our conversation, we talk about:
💛 Why releasing financial regret is essential for creating true wealth
💸 How Ange started investing with just $100 (yes, while still in debt!) and why waiting to be “debt-free” isn’t the move
🌱 The nervous system work that helps anchor lasting financial transformation
📈 Why long-term investing is not only smart—it’s deeply nourishing
🏨 How she went from Googling “how to get rich” to co-investing in real estate, the stock market, and even Broadway plays
🌍 A powerful reframe on debt as privilege and possibility
🌀 How Ange chooses between investing in her business and her portfolio—and why she does both

If you’ve ever felt behind, uncertain, or like investing “isn’t for you,” this episode will shift something inside you. Ange’s story is a reminder that wealth is personal, possible, and already in motion—even if you can’t see it yet.

I loved this conversation, and I know you will too. Listen in, and let it remind you that your financial dreams are not only valid—they’re inevitable when you align with your truth and take inspired action.

👉 Tune in now. I can’t wait to hear what opens up for you.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with money, time, and energy? In this episode, I dive into how women can break free from the patterns of financial stress and create greater abundance in our lives. I explore the historical context of financial oppression that has led many of us to develop a rebellious spending mindset and avoid financial clarity due to past traumas.

I advocate for creating a “spending plan” that focuses on abundance, helping you recognize rebellious tendencies around money while introducing both internal and external systems for financial empowerment. I also share how Business by Design, a program created by James Wedmore, has positively impacted both my business and personal finances, helping me scale with ease and align my actions with my financial goals.

Join me for actionable steps, practical tools, and mindset shifts that will help you reclaim control of your money, time, and energy—and open the door to even more abundance!

“We are talking about the sweet abundance that comes from consciousness and clarity and transparency with ourselves, because actually what’s available when you get clear and conscious about your money is only a more powerful version of abundance.” -Kate Northrup
