Have you ever wondered if money isn’t just a resource…but a living consciousness you’re already in relationship with?

In this week’s episode of Plenty, I sit down with The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz, for one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations I’ve ever had about money, healing, and the unseen forces that shape our financial lives.

Ry and I explore money not as something we “manage,” fix, or master — but as a fluid, evolving consciousness that responds to our awareness, our compassion, and our willingness to be in genuine relationship with it.

We talk about why shadow money work often feels so relieving, how different “streams” of money carry different energetic signatures, why some dollars feel light and others feel heavy, and how we can become stewards who help money heal as it moves through our lives.

We also dive into…
✨ What it means to let money find you even when you feel messy or imperfect
✨ How money takes on the energetic imprint of the intentions and emotions it passes through
✨ Simple daily practices to “witness” your money so it can relax and reorganize
✨ Why avoidance around money is rarely laziness — and what it’s usually protecting you from
✨ The connection between intimacy, generosity, and increased financial receptivity
✨ How couples can co-create a shared field that expands both pleasure and prosperity

This conversation is tender, revelatory, and wildly practical. Ry offers a new way of relating to money that brings more safety into your system, more flow into your life, and more grace into every financial exchange.

If you’re craving a relationship with money that feels warm, conscious, and regenerative — this episode is for you.

“Not all money is the same. It carries different vibratory qualities depending on the energies it’s passed through.”–The Money Shaman, Ry Schwartz

Have you ever wondered why money feels so much more spacious when you make one aligned decision instead of a thousand tiny ones every day?

In this week’s episode of Plenty, I’m diving deep into one of the most overlooked pathways to relaxed wealth: financial boundaries. Not the rigid, budget-heavy kind that feel like punishment… but the kind that act like the riverbanks that keep your financial flow clear, directed, and easeful.

I share how boundaries — financial and energetic — create more safety in your nervous system, more trust in your decisions, and more alignment between where your money goes and what truly matters to you. We explore:

🌿 Why decision fatigue drains not only your energy but your money
🌿 How to know (in your body) when something is a financial yes or no
🌿 The connection between your human design authority and aligned money choices
🌿 Real examples of my own financial boundaries, from client agreements to household spending
🌿 Why saying “no” to the misaligned is actually saying a deeper “yes” to yourself

You’ll also hear simple ways to start practicing aligned yeses and embodied noes in tiny, everyday moments — which makes the bigger financial choices so much clearer. And I walk you through how to begin crafting the kinds of abundance agreements we use inside Relaxed Money so your money can flow where it’s meant to, without leaking into places that don’t nourish you.

If you’ve ever felt like money decisions take more energy than you want to give… or you know your spending and earning could feel more regenerative and grounded… this episode will feel like an exhale.

How to Feel Safe Earning More (Without Sabotaging or Overspending It) (136)

Have you ever realized that the identity you’ve built—the one that’s kept everything running—might also be the very thing keeping you from your next becoming?

In this week’s episode of Plenty, I get to sit down with someone who has witnessed me through many of my own becomings: my longtime friend and former coach, Chela Davison. Our conversation is an intimate, funny, deeply human exploration of midlife unraveling as an initiation into deeper truth, creative recovery, and a fuller expression of self.

Chela and I trace the arc of her journey from being the hyper-capable, endlessly resilient woman who could “make anything happen,” to the moment her internal generator finally sputtered out—and how that collapse ushered her into a two-year wintering season that ultimately birthed her acclaimed one-woman show, A Little Bit Much. We talk about the illusion of the breadwinner, the stories we project onto our partnerships, and the internalized cultural narratives that quietly shape our sense of worth.

We also explore what it means to be “a little bit much” in a world that often prefers women palatable and contained—how to preserve our aliveness without overwhelming ourselves or others, and how to move from performative productivity into regenerative creativity. Chela’s story is a living example of following the energy, listening for what wants to be created, and allowing art to heal the artist first.

This episode is full of laughter, truth telling, permission, and the kind of midlife wisdom that only comes from letting something fall apart so something truer can emerge.

I can’t wait for you to listen.

In this episode you’ll discover:

✨ Over-identifying with resilience led to burnout
✨ Creative recovery came from stepping back and slowing down
✨ Challenging and redefining breadwinner narratives
✨ Embracing being “a little bit much” as strength
✨ Creative growth comes from staying with the process

“I looked around and asked myself, ‘Who am I willing to disappoint to get my life back?’ And the first person I realized I was willing to disappoint… was me.” — Chela Davidson
