Plenty with Kate Northrup 139: Shadow Money, Frequency & How Money Heals Through Us with The Money Shaman
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
