    166. Perimenopause, Hormones & the Menopause Myths Most Doctors Still Get Wrong with Christiane Northrup, MD

    What if everything you've been taught about menopause is incomplete?  In this special mother-daughter conversation, Kate sits down with her mom, Dr. Christiane Northrup, to unpack decades of research and clinical experience on hormones, aging, and women's health. Together, they explore why menopause is not a disease to fear, but a powerful biological transition that can support greater wisdom, vitality, and connection. Dr. Northrup shares how her groundbreaking work challenged conventional medicine long before these conversations became mainstream, including her advocacy for bioidentical hormones, natural progesterone, and treating women as whole human beings rather than collections of symptoms. She explains the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause, what women can realistically expect, and why so many common symptoms can be addressed with the right combination of lifestyle, nutrition, movement, and individualized care. Kate and Christiane also dive into the relationship between stress, fascia, emotional health, and the nervous system, exploring how unresolved emotions can manifest physically and why healing often requires more than simply treating symptoms. Along the way, they discuss alcohol, sleep, muscle health, cholesterol myths, hormone testing, longevity, and the importance of questioning outdated medical assumptions. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Northrup encourages women to become active participants in their own health, combining evidence-based medicine with intuition, critical thinking, and self-trust. Whether you're approaching perimenopause, already in menopause, or simply interested in optimizing your long-term health, this episode offers practical guidance, myth-busting insights, and a refreshing perspective on one of the most transformative seasons of a woman's life. “Menopause is not a disease.” - Dr. Christiane Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Why Menopause Isn't Inevitable02:10 Why This Conversation Matters04:01 Oprah & The Wisdom of Menopause10:24 What Perimenopause Really Is13:04 Aging, Wisdom & Brain Health15:36 Alcohol, Hormones & Health20:20 Simple Ways to Support Your Hormones24:52 Stress, Fascia & Emotional Health39:41 The Biggest Menopause Myth47:54 Rethinking Cholesterol & Nutrition Links and Resources: Kate's InstagramAmata Life Connect with Dr. Christiane Northrup: WebsiteInstagramFacebookEmail ✨ What If You Could Measure How Well You're Actually Aging?

    165. Behind the Scenes of My Next Book: What Writing It Required Me to Stop Performing

    What if the reason your creative project is taking longer than expected isn’t because you’re doing it wrong—but because it’s changing you in the process? In this deeply personal episode, Kate takes listeners behind the scenes of the book she has been writing for the past three years and the surprising lessons the process has taught her about identity, creativity, timing, and trust. Reflecting on the journeys behind her previous books, Money: A Love Story and Do Less, Kate shares how different this experience has been. Unlike her earlier projects, which seemed to flow onto the page with relative ease, this new book has demanded something much deeper. Rather than simply being a project she is creating, Kate reveals how the book itself has become a catalyst for her own growth, forcing her to confront old patterns, release expectations, and let go of the version of herself that wants certainty and control. Along the way, she opens up about the pressure of comparing her timeline to other authors, the challenges of unfinished work, and the emotional experience of sitting in the messy middle of a creative process without knowing exactly how it will turn out. She explores what it means to trust the timing of a project, especially when it refuses to be rushed. Kate also reflects on a pivotal season in her life following Mike’s bicycle accident in 2022 and how that experience fundamentally shifted her relationship with achievement, productivity, and nervous system safety. She shares how years of healing work allowed her to respond differently in a moment of crisis—choosing rest, support, and presence instead of pushing through at all costs. This episode is an honest conversation about creativity, expansion, and the hidden transformation that often happens before a meaningful piece of work is ready to enter the world. It is a reminder that sometimes the project we think we are building is actually building us. If you have an unfinished book, a creative dream, a business idea, or a project that feels slower than you expected, this episode offers reassurance that growth is not always linear—and that the timing of your work may be unfolding exactly as it needs to. “It is changing me, and it is working me, and it's surprising me, and it's making me grow up in all these ways, and it is such a profound ego death.” — Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Why Kate Ignored Sales Numbers During Launch03:18 Getting Sick 24 Hours Before Cart Close07:10 The Talk That Led to Kate’s First Book Deal11:45 Moving Into a New Chapter of Life16:52 The More Structure, The More Freedom20:45 Breaking the Nervous System Scarcity Loop26:08 Why Desperation Repels Money31:14 How Live Launches Reveal What’s Working37:40 The AI Tool That Changed Everything44:58 Focusing on Humans Instead of Metrics Episode Transcript Read the Full Transcript Links and Resources: Kate's InstagramThe Author Threshold ✨  What If Writing Your Book Wasn’t About More Time… But More Capacity? So many people feel called to write a book — but the timing never feels right, life gets busy, and the idea stays on the back burner. But writing a book isn’t just about getting words on a page. It’s about becoming the person who can hold the expansion of sharing your message with the world. That’s what Keira Brinton helps you do inside The Author Threshold. She blends writing, nervous system work, and alignment to help you move through what’s keeping your book inside of you. Because your message isn’t meant to stay an idea forever.

    164. BBD Case Study - She Started Working Less and Making 50% More — And the Shift Didn't Come From Where She Expected

    What happens when the thing consuming most of your time is producing the least amount of your results? In this inspiring case study episode, Kate sits down with longtime entrepreneur, author, and women’s health educator Nicole Jardim to unpack a business breakthrough that completely changed the way she works, leads, and grows her company. Nicole has spent more than a decade building a trusted brand helping women heal their periods and hormonal health. As the founder of Fix Your Period and the Institute for Menstrual Health, she has impacted thousands of women and trained practitioners around the world. But despite her success, she found herself exhausted, stretched too thin, and spending most of her energy on the part of her business that was generating the smallest return. After joining Business By Design and attending an in-person mastermind, Nicole experienced a breakthrough that had been hiding in plain sight. Through a simple but powerful analysis of where her time was actually going versus where her revenue was coming from, she realized she had been investing the majority of her effort into a business segment that was contributing only a fraction of her income. In this conversation, Nicole shares the emotional resistance that surfaced when she was forced to reconsider a brand she had spent years building, the challenge of simplifying after years of adding complexity, and why even experienced entrepreneurs need mentorship and outside perspective to see what’s right in front of them. She also discusses how she completely transformed the launch strategy for her practitioner certification program, creating a more immersive experience for prospective students, increasing engagement, raising tuition, and ultimately enrolling more students while creating a stronger sense of community and connection. Together, Kate and Nicole explore the realities of long-term entrepreneurship, how the online business landscape has changed over the last several years, and why growth does not have to come from working harder. Instead, they reveal how clarity, focus, and strategic simplification can unlock results that feel both more profitable and more sustainable. This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn’t learning something new—it’s finally seeing what has been obvious all along. If you’ve ever felt overextended, overwhelmed, or uncertain about where to focus your energy, Nicole’s story offers a compelling example of what becomes possible when you stop dividing your attention and start aligning your efforts with what is actually working.  “When you're inside of your business, you become so blind to the things that are completely visible to you.” — Nicole Jardim 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Working Less and Making More03:42 The Business That Was Draining Her Energy08:55 Why Nicole Joined Business By Design14:26 The Eye-Opening Revenue Breakdown20:11 When Mentorship Changes Everything27:38 Letting Go of What No Longer Works34:17 Simplifying a Decade-Old Business40:54 The Launch Changes That Increased Revenue48:36 Raising Prices and Serving Students Better56:41 Building a More Profitable Business with Less Work  Links and Resources: Kate's InstagramBusiness Breakthrough ExperienceBusiness By Design Connect with Nicole Jardim: WebsiteInstagram  ✨  What If Growing Your Business Created More Freedom, Not Less?

    163. What I Was Actually Doing on the Last Day of Our Launch - And Why That Was the Whole Strategy

    What if the most important thing you do during a launch is absolutely nothing? In this deeply personal behind-the-scenes episode, Kate shares the unexpected story of what happened during the final twenty-four hours of her biggest launch of the year—and why spending the last day lying on the couch reading a novel may have been the strategy all along. After becoming physically ill the night before cart close, Kate found herself with no choice but to step away from the dashboards, the metrics, and the constant temptation to monitor results. Instead, she was forced into a practice of trust. What unfolded became a powerful lesson about nervous system safety, leadership, surrender, and the kind of business that creates genuine freedom. Kate opens up about the emotional reality behind a multi-seven-figure launch, including the moments of fear, pressure, and scarcity that surfaced during the enrollment period. She shares how the tools she teaches inside Relaxed Money helped her regulate her nervous system, move through panic, and make clearer business decisions from a place of groundedness rather than urgency. She also reflects on a major season of personal expansion, including moving into a new home, redefining what “home” means, and navigating profound shifts happening within her family. Along the way, she explores the surprising connection between physical symptoms, emotional growth, and stepping into a larger version of life than she previously believed was possible. This episode is also a candid look at what actually drove the success of the launch itself. Kate reveals why she and Mike chose not to monitor sales throughout the enrollment period, how focusing on people instead of numbers changed the experience, and what they learned about building systems that allow a business to operate successfully without constant oversight. If you’ve ever felt trapped by outcomes, consumed by metrics, or convinced that success requires constant effort and vigilance, this conversation offers a different perspective—one rooted in trust, structure, nervous system safety, and sustainable growth. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that true freedom is not created by working harder. It’s created by building systems, support, and internal capacity that allow you to step back, trust the process, and receive what you’ve worked so hard to create. “We cannot receive money if our body does not feel safe.” — Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Why Kate Ignored Sales Numbers During Launch03:18 Getting Sick 24 Hours Before Cart Close07:10 The Talk That Led to Kate’s First Book Deal11:45 Moving Into a New Chapter of Life16:52 The More Structure, The More Freedom20:45 Breaking the Nervous System Scarcity Loop26:08 Why Desperation Repels Money31:14 How Live Launches Reveal What’s Working37:40 The AI Tool That Changed Everything44:58 Focusing on Humans Instead of Metrics  Links and Resources: Kate's InstagramThe Business Breakthrough ExperienceThe Digital CEO Dashboard ✨   What If the Breakthrough in Your Business Isn’t More Hustle?

    162. The Marketing Principles That Will Work in 200 Years — and Why Online Courses Aren't Dead with James Wedmore

    What actually makes an online business work today? And why are so many entrepreneurs still struggling—even with more tools, AI, content, and strategies than ever before? In this expansive and deeply honest conversation, Kate sits down with longtime entrepreneur and business educator James Wedmore to unpack the timeless principles behind sustainable online business growth, why most people overspend while under-learning, and what truly creates transformation in both business and life. James shares the behind-the-scenes reality of spending five years building his business before seeing meaningful traction, the mindset shifts that helped him survive those early years, and why he believes the future belongs to entrepreneurs who understand human psychology, messaging, embodiment, and emotional resilience—not just tactics. Together, Kate and James explore the dangerous obsession with shortcuts, why most people misunderstand marketing, and the deeper emotional patterns underneath entrepreneurship, money, and self-worth. They also dive into the changing landscape of online education, AI, and digital products—and why transformation-based businesses are far from dead. James breaks down the core business principles he believes will still work 200 years from now: understanding people deeply, creating real value, learning how to communicate clearly, and building a business from stewardship instead of constant reinvention. This episode is part business masterclass, part emotional recalibration, and part wake-up call for anyone who wants to create meaningful work without getting lost in the noise of the online industry. If you’re a coach, creator, entrepreneur, or someone trying to build a business that actually lasts, this conversation will completely change the way you think about marketing, messaging, profit, and personal growth. “The future belongs to the people who understand transformation—not just information.” — James Wedmore  “The level of stewardship required for the level of life you want is the work.” — Kate Northrup 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 The Entrepreneurial Struggle 03:45 The 50% Profit Rule 11:08 Common Money Mistakes 19:58 Building Real Wealth 29:12 Timeless Marketing Principles 35:13 Are Online Courses Dead? 36:34 Transformation vs. Information 52:47 AI & Human Connection 1:21:14 Letting Go of Control 1:43:30 The Power of Replication  Links and Resources: Kate's InstagramThe Business Breakthrough ExperienceThe Digital CEO Dashboard Connect with James Wedmore: WebsiteInstagram  ✨   What If the Breakthrough in Your Business Isn’t More Hustle?

    161. We Made $2M When Everyone Said Online Courses Were Dead — And It's Because We Did the Opposite of What Everyone Else Did

    Are online courses actually dead? Or are most people simply building them in ways that no longer work? In this solo episode, Kate pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes numbers, strategy, emotional reality, and nervous system dynamics of her latest Relaxed Money launch—which crossed the $2 million mark at a time when many online business owners are panicking about the future of digital education. But this episode is about far more than launch metrics. Kate shares the real emotional experience of navigating fear, pressure, uncertainty, and expansion while leading a multi-seven-figure launch in a rapidly changing online landscape. She opens up about the nervous system spiral she experienced when early registration numbers came in lower than expected, and how using the exact tools taught inside Relaxed Money helped her regulate, recalibrate, and ultimately make clearer strategic decisions. She also walks through the specific shifts that dramatically improved their results, including simplifying messaging, prioritizing human connection over automation, strengthening affiliate partnerships, improving retention, and creating higher-quality experiences for students instead of chasing bigger audience numbers. Along the way, Kate explores why recurring customers matter more than vanity metrics, why over-delivering free content can actually hurt conversions, and why building a freedom-based business requires structure, boundaries, and enough spaciousness to sustain creativity and service long term. This episode is part launch debrief, part business masterclass, and part emotional transparency around what it actually takes to build sustainable success online today. If you’re an entrepreneur, coach, course creator, or anyone trying to create meaningful work in an increasingly automated world, this conversation will completely change the way you think about growth, connection, and freedom. “The more structure you have in your business, the more freedom you will have in your life.” — Kate Northrup  🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Online Courses Are Dead?

    160. She Built a $100M Freedom-Based Business and Realized Outer Freedom Was Only Half the Story with Natalie Ellis

    What if success isn’t actually freedom? And what if the business you built to give you more life slowly became the thing consuming it? In this deeply honest conversation, Kate sits down with entrepreneur, author, and BossBabe founder Natalie Ellis to talk about ambition, motherhood, nervous system healing, identity, and what it really means to build a freedom-based business. Natalie opens up about the hidden cost of chasing external validation, the pressure of maintaining a personal brand, and the surprising realization that even after “making it,” she still found herself craving permission to feel chosen. She shares how becoming a mother reshaped her relationship with ambition, success, and even her own identity—and why she no longer believes in building a business that demands everything from the person behind it. Together, Kate and Natalie explore the tension so many ambitious women feel between growth and presence, career and motherhood, expansion and enoughness. They talk about the emotional reality of entrepreneurship, the influence of social media on our desires, and the subtle ways status and validation can quietly become the thing running the show. Natalie also shares the behind-the-scenes story of stepping away from BossBabe, buying the company back, and rebuilding it in a way that aligned with the actual life she wanted to live. The conversation moves into nervous system regulation, healing from chaos and functional freeze, navigating marriage and partnership while building a company, and learning how to create success without abandoning yourself in the process. This episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is not just financial. It’s emotional. It’s relational. It’s nervous system deep. And ultimately, it comes from building a life and business that genuinely supports the person you are—not just the image you project to the world. “A freedom-based business is a lifestyle business that is a vehicle to the lifestyle you want to live.” — Natalie Ellis 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:00 Freedom-Based Business + Redefining Success04:09 The Pressure of Building a Personal Brand07:30 Realizing Outer Freedom Wasn’t Enough10:37 Motherhood, Identity Shifts & Partnership11:53 Women, Ambition & Work-Life Balance27:52 Growing Up Feeling Different + Chasing Success36:11 Nervous System Healing + Functional Freeze40:00 Rebuilding Success from a More Aligned Model44:42 Relationships, Vulnerability & Emotional Safety52:00 Final Reflections + Freedom Beyond Money Links and Resources: Kate's InstagramRecalibration Field Guide Connect with Natalie Ellis: Boss BabeWebsiteFreedom-based Business BookFacebookInstagram Facebook ✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?
