Where Kale Started:
Kale smoothies, green powders, kale burrito bowls. We have been told, rightfully so, that leafy dark greens provide all the nutrients we could ever want. Lured by the squiggly mossy veggie, I trust that someone, somewhere is telling me the god’s kale truth.
[Fun fact: Pizza Hut was the top purchaser of kale – used to line its salad bars as a decoration, times have changed.]
Do I follow trends? Of course I do [see: mah jong]!
I happen to like kale, quinoa and avocado toast and walking through Erewhon when I’m in LA. Once a new kid on the food block, kale is commonplace.
Like many 2025 themes (See: 6 7), the word ‘abundance’ gets thrown around every corner of the internet. It’s used in business manifestos, with healers, beauty products and describing alpaca knitted sweaters. But easier than a fibrous smoothie powder that simplifies our lives and promises smooth wrinkles, abundance is not always at the forefront of our subconscious. Hidden in the depths of our mind, we want more stability, often financially, but it comes as a grind to get more. That isn’t the truth of living in plenty.
What Abundance on the Internet Misses:
We’ve forgotten the long lost wheatgrass shots of 2001 just as we’ve collectively forgotten the importance of very important steps of an energy exchange to get more Money. I’ve developed archetypes, or starting points for where we live in the deep recesses of our minds.
Sold through marketing, we think we need more money, more Love, more friends, more kitschy gadgets, more Health, more metrics. Don’t get me started on metrics.…
Forget sales, SEO, AI-EO and marketing, think about you.
What is your story around money, love, having enough.
What is plenty?
Abundance, when used in pure energy patterns, is the movement of your universal life force that is sustainable from within.
A wellspring of possibility, your energetic ecosystem can lead you from a history of living in lack towards having what you need.
Abundance doesn’t have to mean giving or getting. It can be living with what is enough. My friend and mentor, Mary Beth la Rue, often asks, ‘what is needed now’ or ‘what is enough.?’
What is plenty ..
at work…in your bank accounts…in your home…in your closet..in your fridge?
What if you have a good trajectory and do not need to kill yourself in order to live just as you are, without pressure to have the equivalent of a Barbie dream house.
Energetically, abundance, when used in pure Reiki energy patterns, is the movement of your universal life force that is sustainable from within. Abundance doesn’t have to mean giving or getting. It can be plenty.
Our mind gets stuck on loops, built in our childhood ancestry and our dna of how we saw money and energy exchanged.
We all have that uncle who clips coupons with gusto, worried about money on repeat. And we have the cousin who spends more than she has on bags. We have the brother in law who is terrible at picking girlfriends who take rather than give. Or a sorority sister who was always letting others drive her car, only to have it crashed by someone who can’t pay.
I witness this day in and day out.
A client in abundance feels calm, knowing, self love.
A client in lack is grabby, harsh, unwell with rejection to the core.
Like going from eating big macs to eating plant based based, there are two energetic extremes –lack and abundance.
But here’s what I’ve learned (and what I teach): abundance isn’t about money, or love, or stuff it’s an energetic frequency.
Abundance is a confidence frequency.
Lack is your fear frequency.
Where do I live in lack–I’ve realized I have a food shortage post-covid reaction. I have a fear it will be my last change to run an errand and our pantry is a hoarder’s paradise. This is a wake up call I don’t need Costco sized snack boxes in every drawer of my house.
Abundance is your magnifying glass of abilities.
I have never worried about my ability to make or have money. Even while starting off, I budgeted my way through my 20s making $30K in my first job, cut off from my parents after college. Confidence around finances has helped me go for more jobs, ask for bigger bonuses, ask for bigger teams.
You make decisions when you’re grounded instead of grasping.
You show up when you’re resourced or about to have enough right around the corner— emotionally, financially, energetically.
Where to start? What type are you? Where is your energy now?
We all carry our own abundance patterns — energy habits we’ve built around money, time, opportunity, and worth.
They’re lenses.
When you know which one you’re leading with, you can start to see what’s helping your flow and what’s quietly draining it.
Here’s a peek at the 8 types I work with:
(or take the quiz yourself here )
You love to give. You show up, hold space, donate funds, give to homeless on a street corner (literally) but sometimes you forget to include yourself in the circle.
✨ Try this: Practice receiving without the follow-up explanation. Before you over-give, ask what is plenty? That’s your abundance reset right there.
You dream in color, plan in decades, and sometimes forget the part where you rest.
Try this: Anchor those big ideas in something small and doable. Write them down like a project plan to take baby steps. Your brain literally needs that cue. That’s how visions turn into momentum.
It’s so hard to talk about money when your Family and colleagues think it is rude. Is money off limits or does it still keep you up at night?
Try this: 🌞
You’re the intuitive one who you trust your gut. Timing with abundance and money is more than to-do lists.
Try this: Set one non-negotiable structure this month — a weekly money date to check-in with your goals. Flow needs a container.
You are fearful and save at all costs, even to your own detriment. But if things get too exciting or fun, you check out.
Try this: Pair your fear with Clarity. Write down the resources you already have before saying no. You have more than you think
You want to keep up with trends and keep acquiring, but it can be too much hustle.
Try this: For one week, don’t sign up for another course. Implement one thing you’ve already learned and where you’ve invested. Integrate so abundance can magnetize.
You love structure, systems, and saving. Security is your love language.
Try this: Loosen the grip a little. Spend on something that brings beauty or ease, not just function. Abundance expands where there’s joy.
Although spontaneous Investing, adventures and plans have never stopped you from making ends me, the highs and lows are hard to maintain.
Try this: Audit all of life’s risks by working with your own team of advisors, your board of directors.
January energy is full of doing — goals, resolutions, pressure.
But if you start from depletion, even the best strategy won’t stick.
Starting the year in abundance — in wealth and wellness — means you’re not hustling from lack. You’re creating from clarity.
And that’s where everything changes: your ideas land, opportunities align, and your nervous system finally exhales.
So as you look toward 2026, ask yourself:
What kind of abundance am I craving — and what kind of abundance am I already living?
