## Resource

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 productivity or purpose. It's about what happens when you finally lift your head, look around, and realize: the version of you running the show today isn't the woman you were 20 years ago. So why are you still living like she's in charge? Kris shares stories from two recent retreats—including the meditations, discomfort, and unexpected conversations that shook something loose. And she poses a question that might just be your wake-up call: What if it doesn't matter which path you choose next—only that it brings you joy? Here's what we explore: Why women who "have it all" still feel restless The comfort cage—and how it tricks you into staying stuck How exploration opens doors clarity alone never could Why you owe it to yourself (and your future) to get uncomfortable The identity shift that comes from doing something—anything—new You can't find what's next wearing the coat of who you used to be. So try something on. See how it fits. And don't be surprised if it changes everything. Contact Information and Recommended Resources The best way to stay in the know? Get on the list.
