You've followed the gurus. And on some level you know that none of it is going to give you what you're actually looking for, because what you're actually looking for is yourself. This is The CEO Sage—a podcast for the woman who is ready to stop looking outside herself for the answer. Kris Plachy doesn't offer you recipes or tactics or the \"real way\" to scale your business. She offers you something more rare: permission to listen to what you already know. In intimate, unflinching conversations, she names the truths you've been waiting to hear aloud.

In this episode, Kris introduces the concept of brainkeeping—a leadership practice as vital as housekeeping. Just as we tidy our physical spaces, our mental and emotional spaces require regular clearing, reflection, and renewal. Kris shares how her lifelong curiosity and deep conversations with friends and clients have shaped her unique approach to coaching high-achieving women. Through brainkeeping she helps leaders sort through the clutter of overthinking, self-doubt, and noise—so they can access their clarity, wisdom, and creativity. She explores why so many women leaders stay in constant motion, what happens when you stop long enough to ask \"why,\" and how stillness and inquiry can become your most powerful strategic tools. Here's what we explore in this episode: What \"brainkeeping\" really means—and why every visionary woman needs it How curiosity can reconnect you with your own wisdom The cost of constant noise and the value of intentional reflection How mental clutter impacts leadership and decision-making Finding your own form of replenishment, whether it's reflection, movement, or community This conversation is an invitation to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect with your mind—the most valuable asset you have as a leader.
