32. 6 Secrets to Unlocking Our First Multi-Million Dollar Year
Welcome to another episode of Plenty, where we unravel the secrets to not just making more money but making it in a way that feels good and aligns with your soul’s purpose.Today, I’m peeling back the layers on how we navigated our way to a multiple seven-figure year and, more importantly, how I upgraded my relationship with money in the process.I’ll be sharing the strategies that were pivotal for us, strategies that you can adapt and apply, no matter where you are on your financial journey. From the tough decision to say goodbye to less profitable offers to the empowering shift of focusing all my energy on a single flagship program, I’ll share how simplification was our north star.I then zero in on the heart of sustainable success – customer retention. Why chasing new clients isn’t always the answer and how nurturing existing relationships can be your goldmine.Then, I get personal, exploring how our nervous system plays a crucial role in our ability to expand financially.The conversation gets even deeper as I talk about ‘parts work’—a powerful approach to healing financial wounds from our past that keep us stuck and sabotaging our success.And finally, I talk about the art of delegation. Because being a jack-of-all-trades might be impressive, but it’s not the pathway to prosperity. Learning to focus on high-value activities by entrusting tasks to others has been a game changer for me.Whether you’re looking to hit your first six figures, dreaming of seven, or simply want to improve your relationship with money, these strategies are your ticket to a richer, more fulfilling life.

20. How to Become the Abundant Person You Know You Were Meant to Be with Tracy Litt
Feeling stuck and ready to become who you knew you were always meant to be? When I met my friend Tracy Litt, it was clear this woman knows and fully embraces everything she is and is meant to be. She is inspiring, refreshing, and remarkable.Tracy Litt is a spiritual leader, CEO, founder of the School of Becoming and the bestselling author of Worthy Human: Because You Are The Problem and The Solution.In this episode, we are having a much needed conversation about the path smart brilliant women must take to becoming the amazing successful person they are meant to be.Let’s get started!Path to Unlocking Potential and Embodying AbundanceTracy Litt’s journey to becoming an ‘expander’ is like a high-octane movie, full of guts, glory and a whole lot of spirit. She’s our real-life superhero who decided she was done playing small and ready to unlock her potential. She shares the story of creating her kickass school for women bosses and entrepreneurs, which she named the School of Becoming.After hustling hard and reaching goals, Tracy decided it was time to pop some champagne and have a lavish gala. Because hey, who said hard work can’t be celebrated in style?As she looked back at the glitzy gala, she realized that it was more than just a party. It was a moment where she allowed her inner guide to take the lead, opening up new paths and possibilities. She went from being someone who, a decade ago, might have let fear slow her down, to a woman who now fully embraces her limitless potential for greatness.Tracy shared, “Because I am a living example of the becoming process, I’ve learned how to be an expander for myself through the choices I make. You’re surrounded by abundance. And the only time you don’t feel it is when you put limitations on yourself.” Now, isn’t that a powerful nudge to step into our higher selves, unlock our potential, and embrace the fullness of life? I think so.How Not Being Your Best Self Leads to GrowthImagine this: Tracy wakes up the day after the gala, coffee in hand, ready to bask in the social media love from her party. But alas, instead of fun party pics and sweet messages, she’s hit with a wave of emails and posts accusing her of stealing the word ‘becoming.’ Talk about a downer!Tracy’s no newbie. She’s a seasoned CEO who knows her stuff, especially when it comes to intellectual property. She was sure she hadn’t stepped on any toes. Still, this unexpected backlash rattled her a bit.Tracy said, “We can’t just ignore any emotion on our emotional spectrum. If we do, we clog up our nervous system and mess with our ability to vibrate at our highest frequency.” This is a big YES to emotional honesty and fully feeling our feelings so we can move past challenges and keep growing.So, instead of brushing off her feelings, Tracy let them all out. She pounded the floor, she shook her body, she cried. She gave herself the green light to feel everything, knowing that suppressing any emotion would only jam up her nervous system and mess with her ability to function at her best.Shifting Misconceptions: The Role of Emotions in Personal Growth MindsetEver feel like the whole “good vibes only” mantra is disingenuous at best, and potentially harmful at worst? Tracy sure thinks it might be. There’s this idea floating around that we can reach our highest frequency without changing our relationship to our emotions. But Tracy calls B.S. on that.She says if we’re not fully feeling all the emotions our bodies want to express, we’re living in a fake ‘high vibe.’ This leads to what she calls ‘high vibe bypass,’ where folks dodge the hard stuff to keep up the good vibes. But in doing so, they’re squashing their full emotional range, limiting their self-expression, and possibly setting themselves up for depression. Yikes! This shines a light on why we need personal growth ideas that champion emotional honesty.“If you’re ducking out on the embarrassment, discomfort, or pain, then you’re also going to miss out on the bliss, radiance, and celebration,” Tracy points out.So, what’s the fast track to reaching a potent frequency, according to Tracy? It’s all about transforming our understanding of emotion, letting go of judgment, and giving ourselves permission to feel all our emotions, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Now, that’s a recipe for a successful personal growth journey if I’ve ever heard one.Redefining Success: Personal Growth for Business Success Through Emotional IntegrationTracy and I got down to the nitty-gritty of how we’ve been taught to think about “success.” Tracy says we’ve been tricked into thinking that success means never feeling uncomfortable or down. But she’s calling foul on that idea.She believes that genuine success, especially when it comes to growing personally for business success, means being able to feel and integrate all experiences – even the ones that aren’t exactly fun.This means we have to embrace our messy, beautiful human selves and keep experiencing things we’d rather dodge. This is super important for leaders on a personal growth journey. Tracy reminds us that growth, expansion, and ‘becoming’ are not final destinations but ongoing journeys. And depending on what you believe, this journey either continues after we leave our physical bodies or it doesn’t.She also talks about the importance of feeling all our feelings and moving away from the outdated idea of labeling emotions as good or bad, right or wrong. Emotions, according to her, are just energy in motion. And getting that is a game-changer for personal growth.From Recognition to Transformation: How to Become Your Best SelfAccording to Tracy, becoming is all about stepping into the next version of ourselves – or as she puts it, aiming to ‘be the person you want to become.’ It’s a constant process, always in the ‘ING,’ as she cleverly says. As we evolve, it’s time to take a hard look at our worldviews, belief structures, and the consciousness level we’re operating on. It’s all about getting to grips with our thoughts and beliefs about energy. Sure, we nod along when someone says we’re beings of energy, but if we really got that, we’d treat ourselves differently. This process goes on forever, marking our personal evolution.When Tracy talks about balancing unconditional self-love and self-acceptance with becoming, she’s clear that the road to ‘becoming your best self’ is paved with higher awareness and consciousness. She drives home the point that we’re not broken and don’t need fixing. We’re naturally whole and worthy, just like the title of her new book suggests. Accepting ourselves as we are is the foundation for any healing work. When we work on ourselves, it’s not because we’re a problem that needs fixing, but to break free from limiting perspectives.Overcoming Control, Expectation, and Judgment: A Crucial Step in Personal and Leadership DevelopmentTracy and I ended up talking about control, expectation, and judgment – or as she calls them, ‘life suckers.’ Tracy believes that these three are all tangled up together and often show a narrow view of life, typical of the third dimension of consciousness. They’re a sign that we’re not tapping into the potential of higher levels of consciousness, which is super important for personal growth in business.These three often interact in a destructive cycle that can be tough to break free from. ...

3. Reinvention and Rebirth with Kelly Roach
In this thought-provoking interview, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Roach, an incredible entrepreneur who has achieved remarkable success in the online space. Kelly's journey is truly inspiring, as she scaled her business from zero to eight figures without any funding or investors. However, her path to success was not without its challenges. Kelly faced a difficult lawsuit and experienced a period of darkness that forced her to access tools within herself other than just working harder.Throughout our conversation, Kelly shared valuable insights about the importance of going inward, finding balance, and prioritizing peace over growth. She emphasized the need to sit with discomfort and tap into our own intuition and inner wisdom. Kelly also discussed her approach to teaching her daughter about money, entrepreneurship, and purpose.Key TakeawaysHard work is not always the answer. Sometimes, you need to go inward and access a different set of tools to overcome challenges.Prioritize peace over growth and enjoy the journey instead of constantly pursuing the next achievement.Teach your children about money by having open conversations, prioritizing family time, and instilling a strong work ethic.Building wealth is not about complex strategies or investor savviness. It's about aligning your spending habits with your values and consistently saving.Slow and steady progress is the key to financial success. Keep it simple and focus on the difference between your income and expenses.

2. Women & Capital: Grow and Scale Your Business with Arielle Loren
Have you taken a business loan to scale your company, to bet on yourself? My guest Arielle Loren, the founder of the only business funding mobile app designed for women in business, 100K Incubator, discusses real, strategic debt options you should actually consider to scale your business faster.During our conversation, we uncovered some of the reasons many women entrepreneurs opt for bootstrapping their businesses instead of accessing capital. We unravel the reality that the lack of knowledge about these additional funding options is leading to frustration and self-doubt for many women entrepreneurs.Plus, we discuss the emotional impact of feeling like you’re not understanding the behind-the-scenes financial strategies of other successful entrepreneurs. Arielle reassures us that, “Even if we mess up, it's just money, and we can always make more.”In this episode, I share a personal story about receiving unexpected money from a respected industry colleague and how as entrepreneurs we need to be prepared and adaptable when it comes to finances.Overall, in this episode you will find valuable insights into the world of women and capital, empowering female entrepreneurs like you to consider alternative funding options and overcome your fear of accessing capital to accelerate your business growth.Key TakeawaysMany women entrepreneurs choose to bootstrap their businesses due to incomplete information about the role of capital in scaling.Having a detailed plan and understanding the different layers of funding can alleviate the fear of accessing capital.It's important to embrace the possibility of making mistakes with money and view it as a learning experience.Accessing capital can help businesses grow faster and reach their goals more quickly.The three levels of funding are: under $3,000 per month in revenue, $3,000 to $9,000 per month in revenue, and over $9,000 per month in revenue.Angel investors are more likely to invest in businesses with traction and proof of concept.Debt is the easiest form of capital to access and can be a valuable tool for scaling a business.

Episode 203: The Finale Episode
I’m coming to you with a full heart that’s a little heavy and also that’s bursting with excitement for what’s next. This week we released the final episode of The Kate & Mike Show. It’s been 4 beautiful years, and we’re bringing this particular chapter to a close. Last week we sat in a cozy rental cabin in Bethel, ME, where we were having a little child-free getaway (our first break from the kids together for more than about 14 hours since March), and we recorded some final thoughts for you. Listen in to this week’s (and the last) episode of The Kate & Mike Show and hear: • A list of our most popular episodes of all time (you may want to go back and listen to a few that you’ve never heard!) • Reflections on some of our own favorite episodes (even if they weren’t the most downloaded) • An important tangent around cancel culture, perfectionism, restorative justice, and repair on a macro and micro scale • Our gratitude for each other in terms of how the other has shown up these past 4 years • Our gratitude for you for sharing this chapter with us Press play and listen. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being with us on this particular part of our journey with The Kate & Mike Show. If you’ve listened to 1 episode or all of them, we appreciate you. Know this: With every ending comes an inevitable new beginning. Since the podcast is now complete, you’ll be hearing from me once a week with a blog post offering insights, strategies, and tools to make a life, not just a living, plus other notes on things I think you might find useful or inspiring.

Episode 202: Top Lessons from 10 Years in Business Together
We’re in the season of endings in the Northern Hemisphere. Autumn is a time of bringing things to a close. The leaves fall off the trees. The year winds down. We let go. We release. Most of us haven’t really been taught how to deal with endings well. I recently gave the Origin Mastermind members the assignment to be in relationship with their relationship to endings. I wanted them to notice what comes up for them around endings and maybe you want to reflect on this yourself. Do you go into disappointment, disapproval, or lack? Do you focus on what you didn’t get or what you did get from the experience? Do you lash out and pick a fight to avoid being with the grief? Do you distract yourself to avoid feeling sad? Or, do you allow yourself to feel grief and then celebrate and digest what was, so you can move forward into what’s next after having fully integrated the experience? I would say I’ve responded to endings in all of those ways at different times. But as we bring The Kate & Mike Show to a close (and Mike and I evolve our business relationship to set ourselves both free for what’s next), I’m committed to staying awake. We had a Kate & Mike Show Wrap Party last week where we circled up with a small, precious group of listeners to get to know them and hear how the show has impacted them over the last 4 years. I cried at least 5 times. It was such beautiful acknowledgement and digestion. And I LOVED what one person said (which I then received in a DM from another listener later on): Witnessing us bring our podcast and business relationship to an end is helping them reflect on the last 4 years of their own life and take stock of where they’ve been, what they’ve learned, and what’s next. I don’t know if you feel this portal of completion in your own life, but if you do, know that I’m right here by your side, grieving and celebrating, too. This week we have our second-to-last episode for you. It’s about the top lessons we’ve learned being in business together for 10 years. Listen in to witness the process of grieving an ending and digesting an experience so that we can do our best to fully receive its mark on us. See you next week for the final episode.

Episode 201: Ask Us Anything: Part 2
I’ve been sitting at my computer screen looking at the blinking cursor, then typing, then deleting, then typing again, then deleting. As Mike and I bring our podcast, The Kate & Mike Show, to a close (and also our business relationship as it has been for nearly a decade to a close), we’ve had some surprises along the way. Surprise #1: The episode where we announced we were ending the show got more downloads than any episode we’d ever released. Surprise #2: A lot of people thought we were getting divorced (even though we made it super clear so many places that we aren’t). Surprise #3: The episode we released last week with Zach Bush, MD, broke the record that our “we’re ending the podcast” episode set, receiving 4X the number of downloads our average episode gets. It also upset some people. In the last week, I received the question I put in the subject line of this email quite a few times: How do you know the difference between when you need to just let people be upset by what you said, and when you need to change your tune, apologize, and move toward repair? Back in February I spoke up publicly about body autonomy and received some amazing feedback and a boatload of negative feedback. After wanting to curl up in a cave and hide for a few days, I finally emerged from the cave and said: I am not here to please you. I’d done my research. I knew where I stood. I felt confidence in my stance and while I knew that some folks would disagree with me, I was not there to please them. They were welcome to disagree with me. But last week was different. When I read the feedback we were getting about how the conversation had missed the mark regarding the disproportionate affect COVID-19 has had on the Black community, I knew it was true. This was not an “I’m not here to please you” moment. It was an “I screwed up” moment. How did I know the difference? Because during the first interview I had wanted to push back and go deeper around the question, but I second-guessed myself and didn’t. I knew because I just knew. I hadn’t been the best advocate or leader for our community that I could have been. Rather than defend ourselves or pretend it didn’t happen, we apologized to our community members, listened to their concerns, and moved toward repair. I reached out to Dr. Zach to share some of the feedback we were receiving from our community, and even though it was a small percentage compared to the rave reviews, he and I both knew the criticism was important and valid. If we block out all negative feedback, we stop learning. I’m not here to please you, but I am here to listen, learn, and do better. Surprise #4: This week, we have 2 episodes of The Kate & Mike Show for you. A follow-up second conversation with Zach Bush, MD where we go deeper on why COVID-19 has been hitting the Black community the hardest and where he shares equitable, accessible health solutions that will keep more people out of the disease care system. Part 2 of Ask Us Anything where we talk more about how we knew that what happened last week was an “I screwed up” moment more than an “I’m not here to please you” moment, plus I tell my birth stories, we talk about some of the grief coming up around ending the podcast, we share our best sales tips, our best tips on growing a platform, and more. I’ll end by repeating something I said in the Ask Us Anything, Part 2 episode: I understand people talk about how we shouldn't care about what anyone else thinks. But, the day I stop caring what you, our community, feels, that's the day it's over for me. I’ll be over here, staying in the game, being humble and ready to fumble, as the wise Ericka Hines says.

Episode 200: Equitable, Accessible True Health Solutions with Zach Bush, MD, Part 2
Our first episode with Zach Bush, MD, "The Solution to the Pandemic You Won't Find in the Mainstream," has been downloaded 4x more than any previous episode we've ever done. We also received some important feedback that we'd missed the mark in going deep enough about the disparity with which COVID-19 is affecting the Black community. We are always listening and wanting to do better, and we knew the criticism was valid. We also knew we wanted to move toward repair, so we asked Dr. Zach to come back for a follow-up interview to unpack the conversation around health solutions (not disease care solutions) that are accessible and equitable related to COVID-19, overall immunity, and optimal health. He was more than willing, so we sat down and recorded, and here it is. Thank you to everyone in our community who took the time to write in, whether your feedback was a rave review of the original episode or an important critique. We're so grateful to be learning and growing alongside you. Show notes and links for this episode can be found at http://www.katenorthrup.com/podcast.

Episode 199: Ask Us Anything: Part 1
I write this with a little tear in my eye but also a swell in my heart knowing that we’re in the final countdown of The Kate & Mike Show. Thank you if you reached out to tell us you’re going to miss the show. We’re going to miss it, too...and we’re also SO excited for the new possibilities that ending it will bring. (More on that in the weeks to come.) We’ve talked about doing a show where we get to answer your questions for the last 4 years. I know you know how it goes: You think about doing something and then never get around to doing it until the very last minute. (That’s actually my creative process with everything. I’ve learned to not label it procrastination but just the way I work. The energy I’ve saved beating myself up about it has been amazing to reinvest in things that actually pay dividends...like just doing my work instead of judging myself for the way I do it.) We thought it would be really fun to find out what was on your mind and do an “Ask Us Anything” show, and I gotta tell you: I was really surprised to find out what you wanted to know more about! We went a lot of places in this episode, and I know you’re going to get some key takeaways. We talked about: • The story of how Mike proposed (and what really surprised me about it even though I knew he was going to do it) • How to successfully pitch guests to be on your podcast and how to conduct a memorable interview • Our biggest parenting triumphs this year • Our biggest business mistake to date • And so much more! Plus, we had more questions than we could answer in one session, so we’ll be putting out a second bonus Part 2 “Ask Us Anything” episode in the coming weeks.

Episode 198: The Solution to the Pandemic You Won't Find in the Mainstream with Zach Bush, MD, Part 1
At the very beginning of the pandemic, I somehow came across a podcast episode that introduced me to a person who’s become my favorite thinker/teacher at this time (and up there in my top favorite thinkers/teachers of all time). I have never before gone to the podcast app and typed in somebody’s name and then proceeded to listen to every podcast they’ve ever been on. My family can’t even get me to watch a 3-minute video they text, so listening to hours of content is highly unusual for me...but this person is that good. I have wanted to email you about this person so many times, but I was patiently waiting (actually, I was persistently nudging his team) so that we could interview him ourselves and craft a conversation to serve you. When Mike and I sat down to plan our final episodes of The Kate & Mike Show, this person was the only guest we felt our show would be incomplete without having had on. And I can tell you, he was worth the wait. Today, I bring you a conversation with a man who’s helped me feel profoundly calm and safe during a time in our history when there are a lot of forces pushing in the direction of fear. And he’s affirmed the deep trust I already had in the innate intelligence of nature and how it can be our guide to true healing and collective evolution in our businesses, bodies, communities, and lives. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be sharing what I think is possibly the most important conversation we’ve ever had on The Kate & Mike Show with you today. In this conversation with Zach Bush, MD, which was 2 hours of intellectual ecstacy for me, you’ll learn: • Why the mainstream narrative that we’re hearing about the pandemic is missing the mark and what 30+ years of data shows us is actually going on • What viruses actually are and how they’re critical for our health, survival, and even for our thriving • Why the conversation about either being pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine is completely missing the mark and the new paradigm about immunity that will lead to true health and resilience • About the fact that we’re experiencing an extinction event and what we can do about it • A “hit you between the eyes” perspective on the upcoming election that might push your buttons but also shake you out of a complacent slumber and get you into purposeful action • The crucial information about flu season that you’re never going to hear on the news • How to take hold of the hope embedded in all of this and use it to heal your body and the world using alignment with 3 key elements of life Listen in and allow yourself to stay open to ideas and evidence that’s different from what you may have believed up until this point.

Episode 197: How To Talk To Your Partner About Your Cycle and Your Needs
While a huge part of the Do Less Methodology is about learning to let go and let others do things, there’s one thing that I don’t recommend outsourcing. Ever since I started talking about the power of our monthly energetic ebbs and flows and how tracking them can change your business and your life, I’ve gotten the following question a lot: How do you talk to Mike about your menstrual cycle, and what do you tell him about what you need at different times? The answer is WAY simpler than you may think. This week on The Kate & Mike Show (the 6th-to-last episode of the show), we’re giving you the ins and outs of: • The thing you don’t ever want to outsource when you’re trying to reach peak productivity • How Mike tracks his energetic ebbs and flows and what he’s noticed about his own cyclical energy • Specific examples of what I need at different times of the month • What I do (and don’t) ask for when it comes to support throughout the month and why May this episode bring more peace, joy, and connection to your body and partnership.

Episode 196: How to Make Virtual Events and Connection as Good as (or Better) Than in Person
The last week of July I was supposed to be in NYC with the Origin Mastermind on our second live retreat of the year. For reasons that I think are obvious, we begrudgingly decided to have a virtual retreat instead. At first, I was feeling really concerned that I was disappointing the Mastermind members. But then, as we embraced the “is-ness,” as my friend Dr. Shefali says, and surrendered to what was happening rather than wallow in wishing it was different, magic began to emerge. Many of us are finding ourselves needing to lead virtual gatherings—from small meetings to Mastermind retreats to full-on conferences—online this year. Something happened during the event that I did not see coming, and I was thrilled by the surprise. Listen in to this week’s episode of The Kate & Mike Show to learn: • The specific steps we took (with the timeline) to set ourselves up for a glorious virtual retreat • How we used the element of surprise to weave magic throughout • The specific swag we sent, including a small $11 item from Amazon that I can’t talk about without feeling giddy • The questions to ask yourself when being in community online, so you’re not missing out on an opportunity for genuine connection This episode is a must for anyone leading virtual events this year.

Episode 194: How (and Why) to Love Your Opponent with Valarie Kaur, author of See No Stranger
Last night I sat on my couch, cheeks still wet from tears, soaked in the bittersweet moment of feeling sad that I was closing the cover of a book I’d just finished and that I was deeply moved by. I both wanted there to be more to read and also felt so totally satisfied and changed by the experience of taking it in. We’re 3 months away from the 2020 United States Presidential Election. An election in the midst of a pandemic and racial justice awakening is an even bigger deal than your average election. And so, here we are, entering a season of even more intensity. Why am I talking about the election? Because the book I finished last night is the manual for how we can come together as humans to heal in what is the most divisive time I’ve ever lived through (though I know that historically there have been more divisive times). 4 years ago, just before the presidential election of 2016, I sat in a huge auditorium in Brooklyn holding a dear friend’s hand and weeping as we listened to the author of this book offer her son’s birth story as a metaphor for the intense time we were navigating then. She asked, “What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb? What if America is not dead, but a country that is waiting to be born?” We passed tissues up and down the aisle to people we didn’t know, yet who were not strangers. Valarie Kaur’s practice of Revolutionary Love is the blueprint we need to heal as a nation and as a world. As hate crimes, xenophobia, white nationalism, and other symptoms of fear increase, now more than ever we need a new roadmap...one guided not only by love but also by the body and joy. This week we’re sharing a new episode of The Kate & Mike Show, featuring activist, scholar, and bestselling author Valarie Kaur, and in it you’ll hear: • Why wonder is the path to true healing • What Valarie experienced at Guantanamo Bay and how it changed her • How to know when to breathe and when to push in the labor of revolutionary love • The freedom in forgiveness and how to do it even when it feels like you can’t • How to love your opponent (including how to know when it’s safe to do so and when it’s time to allow someone else to do it for you) • How to know what your role is in the transition of our country and world This was one of the most stirring conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Listen in, get your tissues, and prepare to pick your chin up off the floor. As we enter this pre-election season, may we all learn to practice Revolutionary Love so we can breathe, push, and birth a new world for us all.

Episode 193: Healing Racial Trauma with Milagros Phillips
If you’re new here, there’s something you need to know about me and this space: I’m obsessed with the body and I talk about it a lot. I love to learn about how our bodies work and how they relate literally and metaphorically to everything, specifically our emotional lives and productivity. If you’ve been around for a while, you already knew that. So many important conversations are missing a MAJORLY important piece of the puzzle: We all live in bodies, and they impact everything in our entire lives. One important conversation that often completely skips the topic of bodies (ironically, because it’s inherently about the mistreatment of bodies) is the conversation about racism. When I heard the woman I’m about to introduce speak for the first time, my body felt different than it had ever felt before during conversations about race. My body knew the potential for healing immediately because she was one of the first people I’d ever heard talk about race and racism in the context of how it impacts our bodies and why healing racial trauma needs to start with the body, not exclusively our minds. As a facilitator, author, and speaker, Milagros Phillips has been doing racial healing work for over two decades. When she came to speak in Origin last month, I got several messages from members after to the affect of: I’m in a puddle on the floor integrating the beauty that just transpired at the hands of Milagros. WOW. Several members asked if she was taking applications for niece adoptions because we all want her to be our auntie. Her work is powerful. Her heart is huge. She’s hilarious. And brilliant. If you’re ready to heal racial trauma in your body, be it black, white, or brown, so that you can affect healing in the world, this conversation is for you. Listening to Milagros will change you in the most beautiful way. I can’t wait to hear how this one moves you (and your body).

Episode 192: How to Mid-Year Plan and Why It's Essential That You Do
We’ve just crossed the threshold into the second half of the year. Every time I look at this wall we have in our basement of 12 really big monthly planners with a beautiful plan we made for 2020 back before we knew what 2020 was going to be, I chuckle. None of us could have planned for this year, I think that’s clear. This year has been particularly humbling for a planning nerd like myself (who also sells a planner). But it hasn’t made me abandon my planning practices (not all of them, anyway). In fact, I’m leaning hard on the ones that are bringing me peace and solace...and ensuring that I can still pay our team, pay our mortgage, and show up for the places I feel called to effect change. One of these planning practices is a mid-year regroup and planning session. You may be tempted to curl up in a ball under your dining room table and wait for this year to pass at this point, but, if you’re game, I’d love to invite you to join me in a simple exercise that will bring you more joy and results than acting as though this year is cancelled. (It is not, BTW. We have 5 months and 10 days left to infuse with our presence.) This week on The Kate & Mike Show, we’re walking through how to do a mid-year regroup and planning session so that you can really be here for all that life has on offer for you for the rest of the year. I give you the exact steps, and we’re even taking you behind the scenes to share what we’re gleaning from the last 6 months and how we’re integrating these lessons and infusing our dreams and goals for the next 6 months with them. Listen in for a powerful regroup and planning process. Can’t wait to hear what you think! Show notes and links for this episode can be found at http://www.katenorthrup.com/podcast.

Episode 191: 3 Tips for Expanding Your Capacity to Be With Discomfort
So much of the information we take in as humans is based on this idea that when we do or get x, y, or z, we’ll finally feel better and then we won’t have to feel discomfort anymore. We’ve been told that the whole point of being human is to find ways to either feel less or feel better. But what if that were not the point? What if trying to feel a different way than you feel and popping out when you feel a way you don’t like to feel is thwarting your efforts in business, marriage, parenting, and more? What if we’re making it harder than it needs to be? If there’s nothing else this pandemic has taught us, it’s that we don’t know what’s going on and that so much is out of our control. There’s a gift nestled in all of the confusion and angst, should we choose to open it. It’s an invitation to a deeper experience of being human, which offers a deeper experience of everything that being human includes. (Daunting? Yes. Awesome? For sure.) The most impactful thing that Mike and I have been practicing to allow us to unwrap this gift is expanding our capacity to be uncomfortable. The pandemic is uncomfortable (in a variety of ways, depending on who you are). Talking about race is uncomfortable for many. Not being able to plan past the next week, not knowing if kids are going back to school, or if you can go visit your grandmother, or if you can fly over a border to attend a gathering you’ve been looking forward to for more than 12 months is all uncomfortable. We’ve been sold the idea that the whole point is to learn how to avoid or get rid of discomfort as fast as possible (mainly by companies trying to profit off the promise of relief). But, at least in my life, the greater capacity I build for feeling what I’m feeling (whatever it is), the more meaningful everything becomes. This week on the podcast, we’re giving you 3 specific tips to expand your capacity to be with discomfort. If you find yourself crawling out of your skin from time to time or minute to minute, you’re going to want to listen in.
