Kris Talks About the Wisdom of Women

So many women believe they’re capable, but still struggle to feel worthy. In this episode, Kris talks with Amy Lenius, Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, event MC, and certified holistic self-improvement coach, about the gap between self-belief and self-worth, and how to close it. Amy shares the three struggles she sees most in the women she coaches: needing permission to define success for themselves, people-pleasing and weak boundaries, and not working with their natural hormonal cycles. She explains why worth has to come from the inside out instead of from roles like “good mom,” “good wife,” or “good daughter,” and offers simple practices to rebuild it: keeping promises to yourself, setting boundaries, showing up authentically, and noticing whether comparison inspires you or tears you down. She also opens up about her journey with endometriosis, being told she might never have children, becoming pain- and symptom-free and a mom of two boys, and how she went from massage therapist to “intrapreneur” and transformational leader. In this episode: Why high self-belief and low self-worth often go together How understanding your cycle helps you plan for success and give yourself grace Small experiments to discover who you authentically are (yes, bright nail polish counts) What transformational leadership is, and why women are naturally suited to many forms of leadership How to step into leadership when you feel stuck Holistic success: health, wealth, quality of life, and love

Is your sex life over once you become a mother, hit menopause or settle into a long marriage? Certified sex therapist Caroline Hood, LCSW, says no. Desire hasn't disappeared; it's been deprioritized. Host Kris Keppeler and Caroline, author of the forthcoming Sex Begets Sex: Reclaiming Desire, Power, and Pleasure in Long-Term Love, talk about why women lose touch with desire, how motherhood reshapes erotic identity, how to talk to a partner about sex without shame, and how to stop letting body image decide whether you feel sexy. They also get into why women 40 and up are fueling the romantasy boom, and what that says about the libido still waiting to be reclaimed. A warm, frank conversation for any woman who wants pleasure to stay part of her life.

Why do smart teams make bad decisions, and why are women so often left out of the room? Kris Keppeler talks with Kylee Ingram, co-founder and CEO of Wizer, a decision intelligence platform that helps organizations design better decisions through cognitive diversity. Kylee shares the three ingredients of a well-designed decision room and the biases that lead to groupthink and blind spots. She explains why 70% of Western CEOs think in one of two ways, and how designed decision rooms produced 50/50 gender shortlists. She also talks about why almost all of Wizer's communication-tool users are women, many of whom say it eases their anxiety before high-stakes meetings. Plus: why the leader in the room should always speak last. Free decision profile: wizer.business Snaps: wizesnaps.com

Stephanie Sylvestre is the CEO and co-founder of Avatar Buddy, an AI company built on the belief that technology should make women more powerful and more visible. So what happens when men with no tech experience try to explain AI to her? In this episode, Kris Keppeler and Stephanie cover how to handle mansplaining with grace, why you should "keep your receipts" on your career wins, and why moms make the best bosses. Stephanie also explains how a childhood birthday party no one attended taught her the power of simply showing up. Plus: why AI is at a crossroads, how women can shape its direction by living their advocacy, and how Avatar Buddy uses AI agents to remove workplace bottlenecks, not people. Essential listening for women in tech, female founders, and anyone building a career they're proud of.

For years, LaTonya Renee Flood handed out the "bricks" to build everyone else's success — clients, friends, family — until she turned around one day and realized she hadn't built anything for herself. In this conversation, the kingdom strategist and founder of FACE (Female African American Christian Entrepreneurs) opens up about the hidden cost of people-pleasing in leadership, a season of depression she didn't recognize until it nearly became a crisis, and the fifth-grade memory that quietly shaped how she led her marriage for over a decade. LaTonya also unpacks her "domestic CEO" approach to leadership — how to stay visible in business without abandoning your household — and the practical way she now uses AI and a small team to protect her time and energy. This conversation explores identity, healing, and what it takes for women to lead from wholeness instead of exhaustion. LaTonya is the author of I Found My Light, Now Go Find Yours.
