This transcript captures a 90‑minute group coaching session led by Kris Plachy and facilitated by Michelle Arant, with participants including Tina Jacobs, Renee LaRoque, Sherry Hassler, Kristina Williams, and others. The call opens with informal banter about puppies before moving into a structured exploration of overwhelm and nervous‑system regulation. Michelle guides the group through a breathing exercise, then asks participants to list tasks they wish they didn’t have to do. The list reveals common pain points: laundry, childcare logistics, household chores, email management, payroll, and client‑related work. The conversation repeatedly returns to the idea that many of these tasks are delegable, and the group discusses concrete ways to outsource – hiring executive assistants (EAs), using platforms like Care.com, employing AI tools (Claude, custom GPTs) for note‑taking and password management, and hiring domestic help for laundry or pet care. Kris emphasizes a mindset shift: the anxiety comes not from the tasks themselves but from the mental narrative around them. He repeatedly stresses that "everything on the list is solvable" and that the barrier is often a fear of loss of control, which is rooted in a dysregulated nervous system. The participants practice recognizing bodily signals (tight chest, feeling blank) as cues of overwhelm, then use breath work to reset. The session also includes personal anecdotes – Kris shares his own struggle with delegating, his use of Care.com to find a house assistant, and his frustration with AI marketing hype. Participants share their own experiences of hiring project managers, dealing with legal issues, and balancing caregiving for aging parents. The group is prompted to commit to a concrete action within 24 hours, such as hiring an EA, setting up LastPass, or delegating a specific task. The call ends with encouragement to focus on results rather than process, to view delegation as a path to freedom, and a reminder to protect personal time by limiting work hours and digital distractions. Overall, the call blends practical delegation tactics, nervous‑system regulation techniques, and mindset work to help high‑achieving women reduce overwhelm, reclaim time, and build sustainable support systems.
