98. Unlocking Financial Sobriety: The Counterintuitive Path to More Luxury and Freedom?

Can financial consciousness actually feel good? Let’s talk about how to balance financial responsibility with a life of pleasure and abundance.

In this solo episode of Plenty, I’m challenging the common belief that financial sobriety means constriction and deprivation. Instead, I’m exploring the counterintuitive path to creating a financial reality that feels both responsible and expansive, luxurious and free.

I’ll be sharing insights on how to move beyond the extremes of hypervigilance and avoidance, cultivate a sense of safety and agency with money, and intentionally wire ourselves for receptivity and abundance. If you’re ready to create a financial life that aligns with your values and desires—without sacrificing joy and pleasure—this episode is for you.

“Make your bliss list, insert as much of it as possible into your life now every single day, and that will allow you to build in financial sobriety while feeling blissful AF.” -Kate Northrup

When Does Money Actually Feel Good?

I’ve watched a pattern play out for years, and I know you’ve felt it, too: Making good money doesn’t automatically make you good with money.

Even as my income increased, money stress never truly disappeared. I still felt a near-constant low-grade scarcity and pressure. I kept wondering:

“When do I finally get to exhale?”

And I know I’m not alone.

I’ve seen brilliant, ambitious people—earning anywhere from $50K to $300M—still feeling:
☑ Uneasy checking their bank accounts
☑ Guilty when they finally buy something just for them
☑ Confused about where their money actually goes
☑ Like they should have “figured this out” by now
☑ Unhappy and wondering if it’s all worth it

Here’s the truth: More money alone doesn’t fix this.

So what does?
