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.

“Debt is a privilege. It gave me access to experiences and possibilities I never could have had otherwise. I don’t regret it for a second.” –Ange Matthews

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

What if the secret to scaling your digital business wasn’t about doing more, but about doing less—and doing it smarter?

In this episode, I’m sharing the real, behind-the-scenes story of how my most recent launch exceeded expectations—including a major increase in earnings per lead—and the unexpected mindset shifts and strategies that made it all possible.

I’m joined by my dear friend and digital business strategist Jenni Finley, and together we unpack the power of aligning your business with ease, intuition, and purpose.

In this deeply personal and behind-the-scenes episode of Plenty, Kate shares the journey of how her company scaled to just shy of $3 million in revenue—not by doing more, but by doing less. Recorded live at Relaxed Money Live, Kate walks us through the exact steps she and her team took to transition from hustle and complexity to clarity and flow.

From living out of a Prius and launching a $97 course that changed everything, to recovering from business debt and letting go of multiple revenue streams, Kate unpacks the surprising truth: simplicity is the most powerful growth strategy. She reveals how one offer, one problem, one customer, and one sales system helped her not only grow her income but significantly increase her profitability—the part that actually changes your life.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overcommitted, or like you’re reinventing the wheel in your work, this episode is a breath of fresh air. You’ll hear real numbers, real lessons, and a clear invitation to shift from overdoing to potent, focused action.

You’ll learn:

• Why 78% of Kate’s revenue came from people who had been on her list for less than 6 months
• How simplicity created more revenue and more peace
• The somatic and emotional work Kate did to feel safe holding more success
• The liberating power of building a business that truly feels as good as it looks

This is more than a story about money—it’s a lesson in alignment, sustainability, and leading with integrity in the age of overflow.

“We’re taught that more equals better. But in my experience, less—when it’s aligned—is the secret to sustainable success.” – Kate Northrup

In this episode of Plenty, I’m joined by the insightful human design expert Erin Claire Jones to explore how understanding your unique energetic blueprint can unlock more ease, flow, and abundance in every area of your life—especially when it comes to money. We talk through the five human design types, decision-making strategies (called authorities), and how to use your profile to align with your purpose. Erin also breaks down how specific aspects of your chart—like your channels, gates, and centers—can help you parent more consciously, grow a business more sustainably, and embrace your natural rhythms to stop the hustle and finally feel satisfied. Whether you’re brand new to human design or looking to deepen your understanding, this conversation is full of practical tools to help you thrive by simply being who you were always meant to be.
