Plenty with Kate Northrup 99. From Layoff to 125% Income Increase: Relaxed Money Case Study with Lauren & Brian of Yogi Beans
What if the financial security you’re craving doesn’t come from working harder—but from trusting more?
In this episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with Lauren and Brian Chaitoff of Yogi Beans to discuss their incredible transformation from financial uncertainty to thriving abundance. When Brian lost his high-paying job, they were forced to take a hard look at their finances and business, which were already facing challenges. Struggling with manifestation and abundance concepts, they knew something had to shift—but they weren’t sure how.
Through their journey in the Relaxed Money program, Lauren and Brian discovered the power of nervous system healing, practical money management, and reframing their beliefs around success. By focusing on gratitude, ease, and self-investment, they not only increased their revenue by 30% but also grew their net income by an incredible 125%—all while creating a more aligned and fulfilling life.
Their story is a powerful testament to the fact that healing your relationship with money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about creating more space, freedom, and trust in every area of your life.

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.
