A Well-Resourced Woman and Personal Agency

In this week’s episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy unpacks the powerful connection between personal agency and what it truly means to be a well-resourced woman. She invites listeners to consider how much of their lives they’re actually claiming—and how much they’ve unintentionally handed over. Kris speaks directly to the millions of women who, despite having the means to choose freely, still find themselves living by someone else’s rules. Whether it’s from fear, conditioning, or cultural expectations, too many women wait for permission to live fully. Kris challenges listeners to stop giving their energy to toxic relationships or unworthy environments. Your attention is gold—and it’s time to treat it that way. At its core, this conversation is about collective empowerment. When more women claim their voice and their power, the ripple effect can’t be denied. As Kris puts it, “We change the world. And I want to change it for her over there, who can’t do it by herself. She can’t. But we can.” If you’re ready to step into full ownership of your life, this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you forward. Tune in and start reclaiming your power—one intentional choice at a time. Key Takeaways From This Episode Lack of Worthiness: Exploring why women allow others to make decisions for them.

For most women, when we are invited to study leadership the teachers, scholars, authorities and models are primarily… men. We are indoctrinated from the time we are born that men are the leaders and that natural male characteristics are the strengths you must also possess to be a good leader. Powerful. Strong. Authoritative. Direct. Assertive. Decisive. These and so many more are attributes that are typically associated with the male model of a leader. And so, for the better part of the last one hundred years as women have made their way into the fold, in a variety of leadership roles, we have learned and studied to walk the way of a men to achieve success. Women dismiss their own knowing because we’ve been so indoctrinated in male leadership models. We dismiss what we know for what others tell us to be and how to be seen. There is another way to lead. To be in alignment. To not feel like an imposter. It’s time for the reimagining of leadership. That’s not to disparage any of the progress that has come before us. Progress is progress. For those of us who stand in the footsteps of the women who came before us we are here because of their courage, bravery and resilience. I wonder instead if women equally looked to the characteristics they learned from their mothers for leadership. I wonder if we were taught to lean on different qualities to drive success. I wonder what might happen then? The traditional qualities of mothering are communication, nurturing, listening, strength, support, grace, and yes… love. What if to be the best leader you can be as a woman, you integrated the best of both? This is how women will stand with integrity in their role as leaders. As women, we can be assertive, direct, powerful, and authoritative but we need not only rely on those attributes for success. After 25 years of watching and studying leaders, I can tell you that for sure many traditional male attributes are effective in the short run, but they typically only serve a few. Whereas, when leadership is feminine. When the leader possesses the strengths of femininity and grace the results are for all. This podcast is my like my gentle request and invitation to my fellow female leaders that we reclaim the world leadership as one that is a feminine definition. That we continue to work with all of our allies to build organizations and systems that include more support, collaboration, grace and communication. And that we do so not because we are uncomfortable with the more traditional male-dominating models, but because we truly do know that leadership is a feminine strength and attribute. And the world needs more of us leading. Now more than ever.
