The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 398: Abundant Ever After with Cathy Heller
In this powerful conversation, Jim sits down with Cathy Heller—author, speaker, spiritual teacher, and host of the “Abundant Ever After” podcast—to explore how abundance isn’t something we chase; it’s something we receive. Cathy opens up about her journey from emotional hardship and scarcity to spiritual clarity and profound wealth, and how Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, and deep soul work have helped shape her reality. Together, they share wisdom on tuning into divine energy, healing past wounds, and becoming a vessel for true abundance.
Cathy shares deeply personal stories, including how a spontaneous trip to Jerusalem led her to a rabbi who helped rewire her understanding of purpose and abundance. They discuss the shame we carry around money, why spiritual fulfillment is the true foundation of prosperity, and how being unapologetically authentic can create a ripple effect of healing. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or struggled with your worthiness to receive, this episode offers a transformational perspective.
This conversation is both soulful and practical, reminding us that we’re here not to “fit in,” but to stand out. You’ll walk away feeling empowered to plug into your own divine outlet and reframe how you think about money, self-worth, and your soul’s assignment.

Transformational Takeaway
Your ability to receive is directly linked to your belief in your own worthiness. As Cathy reminds us, abundance isn’t something “out there”—it’s something you tune into by remembering that your soul is infinite, generous, and already enough. Whether it’s a smile, a compliment, or a moment of true presence, you always have something of value to give—and the more you give, the more you open yourself up to receive. True wealth starts with recognizing the light within and letting it shine.
