A Well-Resourced Woman and Money

04/21/25 • 12 min

In this week's episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy discusses the ever-important topic of money and how it influences the concept of being a "well-resourced woman." Kris doesn’t just scratch the surface; she opens up about her personal experience and tackles the complex relationship many women have with money.

Kris argues for seeing money as an entity we have a relationship with, rather than just a tool. How does your money view its relationship with you? Is it feeling loved and cared for, or neglected and misunderstood? A strong relationship with money, she suggests, is crucial for women, especially those running multimillion-dollar businesses. She also candidly shares her own journey of financial missteps and lessons learned.

The heart of the episode is a call for women to take charge of their money’s narrative in their lives. She emphasizes the need for women to build financial acumen, handling their own assets rather than handing them off to husbands or other advisors who may not have their best interests in mind. "The smartest person in the room when it comes to your money should be you," she asserts.

Whether it’s discussing investment fears or the need to learn the ins and outs of selling a business, Kris underscores the importance of knowledge and empowerment. Tune in for a refreshing take on money matters that just might reshape how you see that dollar in your pocket.

A Well-Resourced Woman and Health & Energy

In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy shares a powerful reminder: your body is the vessel for your leadership, your dreams, and your impact—and it deserves your full attention.

Kris explores what it means to be physically well-resourced as a woman in leadership, especially as we navigate the transitions of our 40s and 50s. Health and energy aren’t luxuries—they’re the foundation. “Your body is the thing to take care of so that all of these visions that you have... all of the things that you want to achieve... you need your body to be able to do that.”

A key practice Kris shares—originally introduced in the book Co-Active Coaching by Thomas Leonard—is what she calls the “clean sweep.” This exercise invites you to take an intentional walk-through of your home, using a detailed punch list to identify and remove sources of energetic drain. By consciously clearing your physical space, you also create more room for clarity, ease, and inspiration. It’s a simple practice that reveals just how much we’ve been tolerating—and how good it feels to finally let go.

This episode is an invitation to listen more closely to your body, to curate an environment that supports your vitality, and to reclaim the kind of energy that fuels sustainable success. This episode is also a check-in: are you taking care of your body maintenance? Do you have a physician and a team to help you stay on top of your physical health? Leadership starts within—and tending to your physical health and energetic hygiene is one of the most profound ways to lead with strength and authenticity.

Key Takeaways From This Episode

Health and Energy as Integrated Components: Health and Energy are separate areas of focus, but they are closely related.
The Body is a Vessel: Importance of taking care of physical health to achieve personal goals.
Physical Health Maintenance: Questions about personal health care routines and reminders on the importance of check-ups.
Energy Management: Explanation of empaths and their sensitivity to others' energy.
Impact of Environment and People on Personal Energy: Encouragement to eliminate energetic drains to create space for positive energy.
