Your Next Chapter Won't Come From Your Old Blueprint

Have you been intentional about what stays in your life—and what goes? If you've been following this special Beyond the CEO mini-series on the seven transitions every founder must face, you know last week was all about play, curiosity, and exploration. Now, in Transition Six—Intentional Design—we take everything you've discovered in that playful, curious phase and start shaping it into a grounded, deliberate vision for what's next. This isn't about hustling toward another "should." It's about building your next chapter with clarity, purpose, and your own rules. Kris shares why this stage only works if you've truly given yourself the gift of experimentation first—and how skipping that step leads to recreating the same patterns you've outgrown. She walks through her own clarity breakthroughs (including a newfound love of pickleball, hosting in-person gatherings, and refining her environment) and invites you to ask yourself: What's in? What's out? What's worth designing into the next version of your life? Here's what we explore: Why play and exploration are prerequisites for true clarity How to sculpt a new vision without dragging old expectations into it The importance of refining, not just adding Why environment, people, and commitments all deserve intentional choice How universal truths guide every stage of your evolution This episode is your invitation to stop defaulting to what's inherited, expected, or safe—and start crafting a life and business that reflects the woman you are now.
