We’re dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, and MONEY — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing.   Episode Summary In this week’s episode, Patrice sits down with Kate Northrup for a powerful conversation about money, nervous system safety, and why abundance is often less about strategy and more about alignment. Together, they explore a truth that many high achievers miss: money problems are not always rooted in lack of information, but in identities and patterns that were formed long before we ever earned our first dollar. Kate shares how fear of her own power once showed up as overspending, avoidance, and financial chaos. What looked like poor money management on the surface was actually a deeper pattern of staying small. Her story reveals how many of us unconsciously recreate familiar stress because our bodies have been conditioned to treat chaos, scarcity, and pressure as “home.” This episode also reframes what financial healing can look like. Instead of approaching money with shame, pressure, and self-judgment, Patrice and Kate invite us to see money as a relationship — one that requires love, honesty, safety, and nervous system regulation. Because if peace feels foreign in your body, you may unknowingly reject the very ease and overflow you say you desire. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating money patterns that no longer match who you are becoming, this conversation will help you understand that money is not the goal. Alignment is. And when your body finally feels safe to receive, hold, and grow money, abundance becomes the byproduct.   Questions to Ask Yourself: Where am I still choosing familiar financial stress over unfamiliar ease? What money patterns in my life feel inherited, conditioned, or emotionally familiar? Do I actually feel safe receiving, holding, and enjoying money? How have I been keeping myself small in the area of finances? What would change if I approached money as a relationship rooted in love instead of fear?   Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself?
