From $250,000 in Tax Debt to Selling Out Rooms of Thousands — And Why She Walked Away From All of It for Her Daughter with Regena Thomashauer (formerly Mama Gena)","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3775,"description":"What happens when the identity, work, and life you’ve built no longer fit who you’re becoming?\nIn this deeply personal conversation, Kate Northrup reunites with Regena Thomashauer—also known as Mama Gena—to explore the story behind her new book, On Our Knees, and the transformation that followed the end of a defining chapter in her life.\nRegena shares how she went from being $250,000 in tax debt to growing her work from a living room of ten women into transformational experiences for thousands. But after sixteen years of running her Mastery program, an exhausted team, her daughter’s struggle with an eating disorder, and her own longing for a different kind of freedom led her to walk away from the stage and into the unknown.\nTogether, Kate and Regena explore mother-daughter healing, inherited trauma, the sacred feminine, grief, pleasure, and the erotic life force that Regena believes remains available even in our darkest moments. Regena shares how supporting her daughter ultimately helped heal fractures within her own family—and taught her how to give and receive a kind of love she hadn’t experienced growing up.\nThis conversation is not about bypassing pain or turning hardship into a neat before-and-after story. It’s about allowing grief, rage, devastation, pleasure, and aliveness to exist together—and discovering how the moments that bring us to our knees can also become portals into healing, connection, and greater freedom.\n“No matter how life brings us to our knees, we are still the source of life itself.” - Regena Thomashauer\n🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤\n00:00 The Cyclical Nature of the Feminine\n02:47 Mama Gena vs. Regena\n05:40 Growing a Dream\n07:01 $250K in Tax Debt\n10:15 Going Big or Going Home\n15:20 Walking Away From Mastery\n20:12 Her Daughter’s Healing Journey\n25:25 Learning How to Love\n30:36 The Power of the Erotic\n35:25 Fighting for Her Daughter\n40:17 Why Life Brings Us to Our Knees\n43:28 Turning Grief Into a Portal\n51:01 Permission to...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o03JRta_QRrWYpVnGEniH9ofqOD9uyABk7kkXvT0B_E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ1MzMzLzE2OTUz/ODkwNzQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
