007 - Kate Northrup: A New Way of Living

Threshold Moments

Episode • Mar 7, 2023 • 1h 5m

Today, I'm joined by Kate Northrup to talk about the threshold from ambitious, entrepreneurial women to becoming new moms.

In our conversation, Kate shares how her priorities shifted across that threshold, from big productions to small sacred community. 

We also talk about the metaphorical winters in life - those times when ideas stop flowing. And we ask, how can we bundle ourselves up to relax into winter, instead of going into trauma physiology?

Finally, we go into her most recent successful and sustainable work of relaxed money.

Kate is highly intelligent, empathetic, kind, and has a great sense of humor. I know you'll love her as much as I do. Enjoy!
