The CEO Sage

When it comes to releasing and detoxing, money can be a huge issue. Some people have a great relationship with their finances, others a horrible one, and I would say the majority of us fall somewhere in the middle. For myself, I discovered I had unknowingly harbored a lot of toxicity about finances. When I would think about my connotations regarding money, my thoughts and feelings appeared pretty on the surface… but they really weren't.

In this episode, I open up about my own money detoxing. Through the process, I learned I was believing some things about myself and my finances that weren't as freeing as I'd thought them to be. I hope by sharing my experience, I can help you recognize and release any of your own toxic thoughts and beliefs.

Editing and evaluating your life is super powerful. It reinforces a firm foundation when you take time out to evaluate where you've been and then decide if that is where you truly want to be and the pursuit you wish to continue. After all, what good is it to continue to build on top of something that isn't what you really want and/or isn't serving you well?

To this end, years ago I began doing the visionary business & life edit for myself. It is an intense yet refreshing and invigorating deep dive into where I've been and where I'm going. As the edit unfolds, it probes into those things that are being avoided or not dealt with, and even into those things that aren't being as savored and celebrated as they should. I invite you to join me both through this podcast and, potentially, in person for your business & life edit.

"The win is in the way… How I achieve what I want is actually the win. It's not what I want, because that target moves." – Kris Plachy

• Everything is a once Yes
• Yes can become No
• Removing depletion
• The actual win
• Asking the questions you're avoiding
• Fearless editing

Why do we feel shame and guilt when we succeed? Where does that come from and why does it hang on, despite the fact that women are punching through old norms?

First, it's important to note that success is defined by a variety of factors. What one person views as success, another may view as not as important. It might be a particular amount in your bank account, the number of your clients, the size of your team, your notoriety, your following, the amount of personal freedom you enjoy… It's not about what you consider success, it's about how you feel about that success. And I believe that, especially as women, we all struggle with this on some level.

"We make the correlation that our joy means we deserve our pain… [And] it takes away our ability in the moment to relish and savor the joy… [Because] we believe there is a boomerang… we dull the joy to protect ourselves from imminent bad." – Kris Plachy

• Correlations we believe
• Belief boomerang
• Let yourself feel
• Fearing success
• Potential of huge wins
• Savor the joys
• It's just life
• Let'er go

We all have a subconscious or invisible internal compass. Like a physical compass, it naturally shows us where we currently are in space and time, and gives us clarity in the direction we should go next. But unlike a physical compass, it can be much more difficult to read.

Pondering this concept, I wanted to talk about how we all operate with our invisible compass but aren't always aware of it. Knowing this, is there a way to change our focus so we can more readily both direct and follow our internal compass? I think so. Let's talk about it.

"The answers that you provide to the questions that you ask yourself are your subconscious life and business plan. This is how you operate in the world… it is an ongoing, pulsing heartbeat of belief." – Kris Plachy

• Not living on autopilot
• Subconscious questions you ask and answer
• What your brain believes
• Liberation of core work
• Choose the proper questions you want to ask yourself

What about rest? True rest? What would that look like? Most of us are not very good at facilitating and executing true rest. We are, on the other hand, very good at having so much to do that we block our ability to rest. You know what I mean… having too many of those things that suck our time and leave us exhausted and overwhelmed.

So I'm calling this a summer of rest. The summer we detoxed from saying yes and said no more. I invite you to implement your own Visionary Summer Detox along with me. In this episode, I share my thoughts and ideas that I hope provide you with inspiration and some direction. Let's get to resting.

"Let that toxicity of the unsaid words leave your body. It's time. It's exhausting to carry around unspoken conversations." – Kris Plachy

• Things we could detox
• People we could detox
• Decisions we could detox

We may not–yet–be able to address all the reasons there are not more women at the top of organizations, but we can address areas in which we have more control. We do have authority and agency over certain aspects of this current reality. So while we work toward systemic change, let's also work on the daily decisions we make and with whom we choose to surround ourselves.

As we examine this together, I want to encourage us all to be bold in exploring our own beliefs about ourselves. Where might we be unknowingly limiting ourselves? How might we be unintentionally not advancing our leadership skills? How might we be unwittingly diminishing our presence, even within our own companies? There is a lot to consider, so let's dive deeply into it.

"You don't owe anybody any version of yourself other than the one that's real. And we change. All of us change." – Kris Plachy

• One core piece that limits women
• Supporting one another as women
• Preventing our own ability
• Hyper perfection and hyper control
• Lacking support at home
• Avoiding aspiration
• There is no failure

You need a crew, strong woman, a team. As women, we are conditioned to be the caregivers, the ones helping everyone else. Unfortunately, this can lead to extremes, such as being unable to allow ourselves to get connected to a team and becoming demanding or having a team but struggling to really allow them to help us and unintentionally compromising.

Regardless of where you are on this spectrum, it's time to take to heart the truth that you need some help. You need people to come alongside you to do the things that they can do, to free you to do what only you can do. Let's talk about it.

"A strong woman recognizes that weakness does not exist in asking for help. Weakness only exists in suffering without help." – Kris Plachy

• Strong woman isolation
• Balance, emotional maturity
• Necessary relentless pursuit
• Keeping good people
• Where weakness exists
• Be willing

YOU are the prize and you do not chase. But, if this is true–and it is–why do we not live in this reality? Why do we find ourselves chasing, rather than living as the prize?

As a woman who believes deeply in the value of women (not to say I don't value men), I desire for you to see yourself as you truly are. Someone of worth. Someone with a beautiful gift to give. Someone worth being supported, listened to, respected... and living the truth that the prize does not chase–regardless of what we've been taught over our lifetimes.

"Why is it that not everybody lives by that? Because you don't believe you're a prize… You don't believe you are worthy of not chasing." – Kris Plachy

• Defining "The prize does not chase"
• Why you don't believe
• Expectations of emotional support
• Reasons / ways women chase

There is a decision that has the power to separate you from where you are to where you want to be. But if you don't even know what it is, if you're stuck in the spin of crisis, how can you make that decision?

As I've worked with my clients, I've found that in dealing with a crisis, there is typically just one decision that is preventing all other decisions from happening. Literally it is one decision standing in your way, causing everything else to stall and stagnate. But when you can identify that decision within the swirl of all that is happening, and deal with it… all else begins to be resolved as well. Let's talk about it.

"It was just one decision that would lead to one action. And then, that one action would allow for everything else to be resolved." – Kris Plachy

• Crisis in your business
• Just one decision
• What are you perseverating on?
• Why we don't decide
• Easy in the eye of the beholder
• Fear of something that doesn't exist yet

As we go along in our journey, especially as visionaries, we grow, we change, our thinking evolves. It can be liberating and scary and wonderful and nerve-racking, all at the same time. But it is inevitable. We don't stay the same, and I would say this is good, as we shouldn't stay the same in many regards.

In this episode, I talk about the visionary's journey. About my journey. I share my thoughts, my heart, and how I've changed in the way I think about what I do as a result of my journey. If you're a visionary, it's likely you're on your own journey. So I hope by sharing some of mine, I might offer you some insights and encouragement. Please come with me.

"That may mean that the business doesn't have the same trajectory that it did under the visionary but that doesn't make the trajectory bad." – Kris Plachy
