You're performing in what you once dreamed. The thing you built to free you has become the thing you're trapped inside. You've built something real. A business that works. A reputation that precedes you. By every measure, you're succeeding. And something is wrong that you can't quite name. You've tried the frameworks. You've bought the courses. 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. That your wisdom matters more than the strategy. That your self-trust is the asset worth protecting. That what feels like failure might actually be an invitation to something better. If you've achieved the success everyone told you to want and di…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T20:19:46.709901+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ceo-sage-formerly-leadership-is-feminine-320766"},"episode":{"title":"Your Thriving Matters to Everyone","slug":"your-thriving-matters-to-everyone","published_at":"2026-06-29T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ceo-sage-formerly-leadership-is-feminine-320766/your-thriving-matters-to-everyone","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ceo-sage-formerly-leadership-is-feminine-320766","url":"https://www.thevisionary.ceo/blog/your-thriving-matters-to-everyone","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/leadershipcoach/005_-_2026-06-29_-_The_CEO_Sage_-_Get_What_You_Want_Part_2_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=234856","summary":"What you're not doing for yourself is actually harming everyone around you. Kris knows what's happening. You're in survival mode. Not because your life is falling apart, but because the last decade has been relentless. Your business is affected. Your family is affected. Your nervous system is affected. And so you've locked into the question: how do I keep this afloat? But here's the truth she's naming: when you thrive, everything around you thrives. And when you don't, nothing can. The gap between knowing this and actually doing it is where most women live. You nod along, you agree with every word, and then you go back to putting everyone else first. You skip the haircut. You don't get your nails done. You don't take the trip. You tell yourself there's no time, and the weight of that unattended desire just sits there, reminding you that you're not worth your own investment. In this episode, Kris walks through her own year of being pulled away from her dreams and then choosing to pull herself back. She's not talking about inspiration. She's talking about reinvestment in your own joy as a non-negotiable act. What you'll learn: • Why survival mode is contagious and whose job it is to break the cycle • What the smallest acts of self-care are actually telling you • How to know if you're in confusion, avoidance, or victimhood about your own desires • What happens when you finally attend to yourself • Why this is the time, not the time to wait Nothing feels worse and heavier than having desire that is unattended to. The question isn't whether you have time. The question is whether you're willing to reclaim your own agency. Connect with Kris · Ready to get out of your own way?
