Are you stuck in the cycle of saying, “I don’t have time,” and wondering why your goals feel out of reach? As the new year approaches, it’s time to get honest: is it really about time, or is it about priorities? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy challenges you to confront the deeper truth behind your excuses and start reshaping your beliefs to achieve the life you truly want.
Kris dives into the psychology of why we default to “I don’t have time” and how this mindset often masks a reluctance to leave our comfort zones or prioritize ourselves. “It’s not that you don’t have time—it’s that you don’t want to or aren’t willing to prioritize yourself,” she explains. Through candid insights and personal stories, Kris illustrates how shifting your mindset and embracing discomfort can lead to powerful transformations.
This episode also introduces Believe, Kris’s new program designed to help you create the beliefs and actions necessary to turn your vision into reality. As she guides you through ditching the “I don’t have time” narrative, Kris offers practical strategies to align your priorities with your goals, setting you up for a more intentional and fulfilling year ahead.

Are your beliefs holding you back from achieving your full potential? In this quick episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy dives into the power of belief, purpose, and mindset transformation. As the new year approaches, it’s the perfect moment to challenge the inner narratives that begin with “I can’t,” “I shouldn’t,” or “I’m going to fail.”
Kris offers a bold perspective on traditional strategic planning, urging leaders to stop pouring time and resources into rigid plans that life will inevitably disrupt. “Set some goals, have some ambition,” she says, “but tether them to belief and feeling. That is going to be the most compelling thing you have.” By focusing on intention, commitment, and vision, leaders can create a foundation for success that outlasts any plan.
Kris also introduces her upcoming January program, Believe, designed to help leaders rewrite their mental scripts and act with intention. The program offers mini lessons and live coaching calls to guide participants through a mindset shift that leads to extraordinary results.

Are you carrying the weight of poor performance on your team? As the year winds down, it’s time to get honest: are your employees aligned with the skills, attitudes, and behaviors your business needs to thrive? The end of the year is the perfect time to take stock, reassess, and make changes that set you up for success in the year ahead. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy dives into the power of a year-end team audit, breaking down how to evaluate where your team stands and what needs to shift.
Kris challenges leaders to stop tolerating misalignment and start addressing the tough questions. Are the people you’ve hired still the right fit? Are they delivering results, or are you carrying the burden of their shortcomings? She shares practical strategies to assess team dynamics, identify gaps, and figure out whether further investment in your team’s skills will pay off.
This episode also highlights the role of feedback in building a thriving team culture. “People need to know if they’re winning or losing,” Kris insists. By fostering open communication and clear expectations, you can create a culture where everyone understands their role, their impact, and their path to success. Join Kris as she provides the tools and insights you need to realign your team, elevate performance, and start the new year with confidence.

Are you feeling the tension between being the visionary leader your business needs and effectively managing your team? As the year comes to a close, do you find yourself reflecting on the ambitious goals you set—and wondering if you’re giving yourself enough grace for what you did achieve? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy invites you to examine the critical balance between leadership and management.
Kris opens up the conversation with the striking statement: "A lot of people who start businesses are very good at leading because they're visionaries, they are motivating, they're inspiring... but maybe terrible at managing." And here’s the issue that she has seen many visionaries experience. She identifies that while many entrepreneurs possess the vision and motivation, they often miss out on the crucial organization and structure that managerial skills bring to the table.
Not neglecting those on the other end of the spectrum, Kris also brings to light the potential pitfalls of leaders who excel at managing but struggle to inspire and motivate their workforce. Often, she explains, these skilled managers tend to get too deep in the details and lose sight of the larger picture and purpose.
Kris notes, "You have to understand the dynamics of both. How do I leverage the hearts and minds and hands of other people to achieve the result I want? And how do I envision that result in a way that helps others be excited, be a part of it, and it becomes integral to the culture?"
As we wrap up the year, Kris challenges you to reflect on your own leadership and management skills, offering an invaluable perspective that just might lead to your breakthrough and take your business and your team to the next level.

Have you ever felt unsure about your leadership instincts? Do you question your decisions because they don’t align with traditional expectations? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy dives into the challenges women face when self-doubt creeps in and disrupts their confidence as leaders. She examines why so many women, despite their success, find it difficult to trust their intuition, especially when navigating the complexities of leading a team.
Kris highlights a powerful truth: “The common theme of the women that I work with has nothing to do with skill or ability, but has everything to do with what I would call learned self-doubt.” Through this lens, she explores how conditioning erodes confidence and teaches women to second-guess their instincts, even when they have proven their capabilities time and time again.
Kris emphasizes the importance of breaking these cycles by embracing self-belief and standing firm in your vision—even when it feels isolating or unconventional. She redefines leadership as an act of nurturing accountability, showing that feminine leadership is not about pleasing others but about setting clear boundaries and holding people—including yourself—accountable to their commitments.
If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing it wrong” simply because you’re doing it differently, this episode offers validation, empowerment, and actionable insights to reclaim your confidence as a leader. Join Kris to discover how embracing your instincts and breaking old cycles can not only transform your leadership but inspire others to do the same.
