Leadership is Feminine

What if your worth wasn’t tied to your revenue, your output, or anyone else’s approval? In this episode, Kris takes us deeper into the heart of worthiness and why so many high-achieving women still wrestle with believing in themselves—even after building successful companies, raising families, and achieving goals most people only dream of.

Kris breaks down the difference between self-trust (believing yourself) and self-worth (belie...

Why can you trust yourself to build a multimillion-dollar company—but not to have one hard conversation? In this episode, Kris pulls back the curtain on the anatomy of self-trust. From visionary ideas to money, health, relationships, and leadership, she reveals why so many women compartmentalize their confidence—rock solid in some domains, shaky in others.

You’ll hear how past experiences, identity “totems,” and cultural conditioni...

What’s your plan for the business you’ve worked so hard to build?

After walking through all seven transitions in the Beyond the CEO series, Kris is turning her focus to what comes next: the tactical and strategic steps every founder must take to ensure the business can run—and even thrive—without her constant presence.

Are you willing to release control and trust others with what you’ve built

In this episode, Kris closes out the Beyond the CEO series by walking through the final transitions that take you from structure and strategy into wisdom and possibility.

This is where leadership be...

Have you been intentional about what stays in your life—and what goes?

If you’ve been following this special Beyond the CEO mini-series on the seven transitions every founder must face, you know last week was all about play, curiosity, and exploration. Now, in Transition Six—Intentional Design—we take everything you’ve discovered in that playful, curious phase and start shaping it into a grounded, deliberate vision for what’s next.

Play. Stillness. Curiosity. When did you stop giving yourself that permission?
You’re going through the motions in a life you once dreamed of—and wondering when that dream stopped being yours.

In this episode—the next in Kris's series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate—she invites you to consider the one most of us avoid: curiosity, play, and exploration.

This isn’t a conversation about producti...

In this fourth installment of the Seven Transitions Every Successful Woman Must Navigate series, Kris explores the fog that can settle in after years of striving, building, leading, and achieving.

When the urgency fades, when the goals have been met, when your days are no longer dictated by survival or ambition... who are you now?

This is the striver’s dilemma.

In this episode, Kris shares reflections from two recent retreats—one ...

You’re not trapped by your business, your team, or even your schedule.

You’re trapped by the stories you’ve been telling yourself about what has to happen next.

In this third installment of the special mini-series on the seven transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it’s time for something new, Kris unpacks the beliefs that quietly hold you back—the false truths that keep high-achieving women stuck in busine...

Are you the biggest bottleneck in your business—and don’t even realize it?

You didn’t build your company to babysit it. But if you’re still the one making every call, solving every fire, and holding the reins so tightly no one else can lead...this episode is your wake-up call.

In this second installment of the special mini-series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it’s time for so...

You say you want freedom. But are you really ready for it?

This week, Kris kicks off the first of seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it’s time for something new.

It starts with a brutally honest question: Is your business ready to run without you?
And are you ready to let it?

In this episode, Kris unpacks what readiness really means—not just logistically, but emotionally. Because saying ...

This season marks a turning point—not just for the podcast, but for the visionary women who listen. If you’ve ever wondered what comes after success, you’re in the right place.

In this kickoff to a brand-new series, Kris introduces a deeply personal—and much-needed—conversation: what it means to go beyond the CEO. Because sometimes, the biggest transition isn’t building the business... it’s releasing your grip on it.

Here’s wha...

You built the business. You built the team. You built the life. But now… what?

This is the moment no one warns you about. When the business you poured everything into is running—maybe even thriving—but you feel restless. Detached. Like maybe you’ve outgrown what once felt like everything.

In this episode, Kris Plachy opens the door to a new conversation—one that’s been quietly forming behind the scenes. This isn’t a pivot away from...

This one’s raw. Tender. And so incredibly real.

My client came into this conversation thinking she needed clarity. She was looking for the right answers—about her role, her goals, her business. But what came out was something much more vulnerable: the pressure to perform, the fear of letting people down, and the quiet ache of not being fully seen.

This episode is a front-row seat to what happens when a powerful woman stops performi...

This one hit deep.

I’m talking to a founder who’s done everything “right.” Built the business. Achieved success. Carried the weight. But now… she’s just tired. Tired of running, of holding it all together, of pretending she still wants what she once did.

She thought we’d be talking about planning and priorities. Instead, we had one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever had with a woman who’s quietly—and bravely—acknowledging t...

This episode is for the woman who’s built a thriving business—and still hears a quiet voice inside asking, “Is this really it?”

My client came to this session frustrated with herself for not trusting her team or delegating enough. But what we uncovered wasn’t about delegation at all. It was about the fear of stepping away. The pressure to keep going. And the guilt that creeps in when you consider wanting more for yourself… or maybe...

Ever hired someone because they “seemed great”... and then spent months wondering what the hell happened?

This week on Leadership is Feminine starts the series where I am letting you listen in on actual coaching conversations with female founders.

I coach a founder who’s been there. She’s rebuilding her team—and this time, she’s determined to do it differently. No more hiring based on a hunch. No more hoping a great personality wil...

What if the next step in your evolution has nothing to do with scaling, systems, or solving that one nagging employee issue—and everything to do with who you’re becoming?

In this very personal episode, Kris Plachy sets the stage for a powerful shift. If you've been a long-time listener—or a longtime leader—you’ll want to hear where we’re going next. Because truthfully? You’re probably already feeling it. The tension. The boredom. T...
