This transcript captures the final drop‑in coaching session of the Mini‑Mind series, led by Kris Plachy and attended by a small cohort of women entrepreneurs (Sherry Hassler, Tina Jacobs, Maria Burke, and others). The conversation weaves together personal emotional‑intelligence breakthroughs, leadership reflections on values versus behavior, and concrete business pivots. Sherry shares a self‑regulation epiphany that her trigger was not personal unsafety but the perceived unsafety of a colleague, prompting a re‑assessment of her EQ self‑score. Kris guides her toward a values‑centred coaching lens, emphasizing safety, trust, and the distinction between changing behaviour and honoring shared values. Tina discusses firing her marketing team, restructuring with AI, and the desire to spend more time on creative work that brings joy. The group explores practical tools—breathwork, tapping, self‑talk, and “straight‑line” decision‑making—to cut through analysis paralysis. Throughout, the tone is informal, supportive, and action‑oriented, with recurring themes of self‑care, community accountability, and future planning for SAGE experiences, mastermind days, and international retreats. The transcript ends with collective encouragement to trust oneself, follow the simplest path, and continue the community’s momentum.
