Work With What Happens Feb 22, 2024

Show notes

“There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents” is a famous line by beloved artist, painter, teacher and TV personality, Bob Ross.

But when I was watching him the other day, he stopped me in my tracks with this other golden gem of wisdom - “Learn to work with what happens.”

WOAH!!!

These 6 powerful words are not only applicable for the painters, artists and creatives he was teaching to, but for human beings overall!

And when I heard them, it had all my brain cells firing at once - because it fell right in line with what I believe for myself and what I teach others.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the stories each of us have, tell and carry. Stories shaped by our experiences, installed by our interpretations, built by our beliefs, and crafted alongside the identities we’ve created for ourselves.

Often we’re not writing these stories in our own favor and we instead become attached to the retelling and re-traumatizing of ourselves again, and again.

So much of the work I do with others is about taking those old habituated stories, releasing the meaning that we've assigned to them, and rewriting them through a different lens - or as I like to say “transforming that old story, into your glory.”

That is what I believe Bob was distilling down with his statement, “learn to work with what happens.” He's saying learn to use whatever happens on the canvas, and what greater surface do we have to work and create on than the canvas of our lives!

Are you ready to use what’s happened to create your own masterpiece?

Wanting Cookies Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

It’s normal and natural as kids to look for those external social cues that tell us which behaviors are good or bad - what is encouraged and what is discouraged .

In fact, we were constantly being conditioned and molded as children growing up by how our parents, society, teachers, coaches, priests, siblings, and our friends were responding to us.

If we aren’t careful, we might continue this habit of looking outside of ourselves for signs of belonging and approval. And instead of maturing into adults with secure self-love - we’ll find ourselves desperately looking to others in order to know if we're “good enough”.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the need for external validation or that ego desire to be “special” - that my friends and I like to call ‘wanting cookies’!

If you listen to this epsiode, and you're wondering, “Do I do that? Do I feel like I need all the cookies?”

Let me just say this; it's also totally normal to want to be told, “Hey, you did great,” and have you or your work acknowledged. In fact, it’s healthy in relationships to support, cheer and congratulate each other sometimes.

Where it starts to become wicked imbalanced - and we find ourselves unable to regulate - or see our own self worth - is if we don’t keep that insatiable need in check.

One of the strongest things that we need is our own love language. That muscle needs to grow and get stronger as we mature. That way, if somebody else validates us, it's just icing on the cake - and we don't have to go chasing all the cookies.

I always say, “If everyone likes you, you're doing it wrong” - because what that tells me is you’re probably ‘Cirque du Soleil-ing’ yourself into some version of you that’s trying to be palatable for everybody… and that’s just not possible.

Some people aren’t going to like you because they just don't like you and that's just how it is. What matters here, dear listener, is that you like and love yourself!

KK's Takeaways:

• Childhood Validation (05:55)

• External Validation (09:28)

• Self-Doubt + Fear of Rejection In Entrepreneurship (13:57)

• Self-Love + Self-Worth (20:06)

• Validating Yourself (24:51)

Under Pressure Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

Maybe you suffer from the same affliction that I have - which is I'm a hyper responsible person and have a nervous system that is still unlearning some old ways of being.

And in this episode, what I’m highlighting is how this urgency pattern specifically shows up in my life by how much pressure I feel and put on myself to quickly respond to other people and their needs.

This of course, doesn’t mean that I always try to swoop in and fix everything for everyone all the time, but I do feel a need and a have a drive to be of help to others both human and animal.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the pressure we put ourselves under when it comes to how we respond to others who are asking something of us.

For myself personally it is the pressure of how quickly I need to respond when it comes to someone else’s needs and or requests of my support.

Nowadays, there’s literally dozens of ways for people to get a hold of us and this episode is my invitation for you to join me in not putting yourself under so much pressure. The kind of pressure that if left unchecked, will only serve to eventually break us down.

Instead, I invite you to set boundaries for yourself that provide you with the space you need to just breathe, consider the options and to take some time before you decide to jump in with both feet.

And if you have them, use the helpful tools to take care of your nervous system first. (and if you don’t have them, a gentle reminder that this is part of the work that I do with people.)

Then next time you find yourself caught up in the under pressure “shoulds” - slow down and ask yourself if you're doing things at a pace that feels good to you or because it’s right for you -or- because you’re afraid that you’ll feel guilty, judged, or rejected if you don’t?

KK's Takeaways:

• Pressure + Responsibility (03:00)

• Internal Pressure + Sensitivity (08:01)

• The Impact on Mental Health (13:51)

• Boundaries + Self-Care in a Fast-Paced World (19:20)

• Managing Stress + Responding to Demands (21:41)

• Responding To Requests at a Comfortable Pace (27:29)

• Prioritizing Self-Care (33:13)

• Questioning Societal Pressures + Self-Love (38:05)

Taking Your Daily Vitamins Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

When we become adults - if we’re not careful - we no longer create enough time for fun, play and joy in the things we choose to do.

This way of living can become a slippery slide down slope - where everything in our life feels like an ‘I have to’ - instead of - an ‘I get to’.

Why would we want to wake up each day only to have to jump into things that don’t feel good to us, aren’t aligned with our well-being, and feel more draining and soul-sucking than life-giving?

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re taking a closer look at what we might describe as a ‘perfect’ day in your life.

What are some of the elements - that you know if you did them everyday - would be a way to nurture and nourish yourself on different levels?

Jessie Itzler calls these things his ‘daily vitamins’ - and I want to help you discover which of these things light you up, and what do you need” to take” in order to feel at your best?

What daily habits, mindsets, or rituals - could you add to the start of your day to help you move through the world as the best version of yourself you can be?

If you don’t include at least one of your own favorite, ‘daily vitamins’ to each of your days - slowly over time you can become miserable and resentful.

Eventually finding yourself in a pattern of anxiety or depression simply because you're not actually living a life that you care about, that you love, or that really matters to you.

I invite you to give this episode a listen - and then sit down with yourself and have some fun discovering what you want to put on your “Daily Vitamin” list!

KK's Takeaways:

• Self-Care Habits (1:55)

• Prioritizing Personal Joy + Fulfillment (6:03)

• Creating a Perfect Day (11:07)

• Nurturing for Personal Growth (16:32)

• Prioritizing Personal Needs (21:36)

The Art of Apology Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

Apologizing is an art form and a skill set that we have to take time to learn, practice and build.

It’s not something that most of us do well or even automatically. In fact, plenty of people suck when it comes to making apologies and trying to heal a situation where they may have caused hurt.

Sometimes, people take it a step further and unfortunately, aren’t even willing to apologize.

In some family dynamics, they thrive on holding grudges and don't actually want to heal the relationship or the situation their words or behavior created. It's like they think they’re getting something from withholding their love, not taking accountability or being stingy with their apologies.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re taking a closer look at the art of apology and what’s required from us to take responsibility and truly apologize from our heart when and where we can.

This doesn’t mean we will immediately receive forgiveness, and sometimes people won’t want to forgive us and that reconciliation we seek is just not gonna’ happen.

Hopefully, things won’t come to this, but sometimes they do and our only option is to try to make peace with the outcomes and the earlier, younger versions of ourselves and our actions.

Just because we apologize, forgiveness isn’t always forthcoming. It’s definitely not on a schedule to make us feel super comfy. Apologizing well is just the beginning and a necessary start of the healing process.

Is there someone in your life that needs to hear those apologetic words from you?

KK's Takeaways:

• Apology + Self-Awareness in Relationships (04:26)

• Effective Apologies + Active Listening (10:22)

• Sincere Apologies + Forgiveness (20:44)

• Taking Responsibility (26:01)

• Making Amends (30:10)

• Apologies, Intentions + Family Dynamics (35:35)

• Healing Past Mistakes (40:31)

• Apologizing, Self-Awareness + Personal Growth (45:43)

Healing Past Mistakes Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

As we start to do some spiritual work - we can become more aware, awake and sensitive to our previous words and behaviors - when we weren’t at our best.

If we don't have any tools or resources in place when our past mistakes come up for our attention, they can become all-consuming.

They’ll often play on repeat in our mind — leaving us overwhelmed with guilt or regret and eventually sucked under from the undertow of our own self loathing and hatred.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re looking at past mistakes and discussing how the ego-mind likes to keep us feeling guilty and wrong about all the things we did or didn’t do.

This habituated pattern of looking for or obsessing over what we think we screwed up, can keep us stuck in a place that is without healing.

Leaving us feeling separate from ourselves and the Divine, and unable to remember our goodness.

This mindset is not loving or helpful and in the long run, really doesn’t do us or anyone else any good.

Instead, we can remember that we’re all beautifully imperfect works in progress.

If you're seeking a way to practice forgiveness and self-love, tune in for insights and tools that have helped me and my clients on the path to healing!

KK's Takeaways:

• Spiritual Awareness + Self-Realization (05:56)

Help For IBS Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

Did you know that between 15% to 20% of people in the world suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome – also known as IBS?

It’s incredible to think about how those three little letters (IBS) - can wreak so much havoc, distress, despair, depression and anxiety in people’s daily lives.

Medical data reports that “1 in 5 people” have Irritable Bowel Syndrome - and that’s just the stats for the people who have actually gone to the doctor looking for help for IBS!

So chances are you personally know somebody who has this brain-gut disorder. Although they might be suffering silently and alone - because of the stigma placed on IBS sufferers, the shame people feel around having IBS and talking about their "embarrassing" human bodily functions.

This is one of the big reasons why I wanted to do this episode! So we could talk openly and honestly about IBS.

We dive into what the disorder is, what it’s like to live with it, and where you can finally find some help for irritable bowel syndrome!

This show is a way to break the shame and stigma around this topic, and have a mature and transparent conversation about something that so many of us are facing and navigating in our everyday lives.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking all about IBS! I’m also sharing about the effects of IBS, and how IBS symptoms and attacks have personally affected my own life.

Listen in to hear more about what has and hasn’t worked for me, and what I’ve done day-to-day to help debilitating IBS symptoms.

Plus, we'll take a closer look at the number one thing that has made a difference in my healing journey - a gentle and effective hypnosis protocol for reducing and managing IBS symptoms!

It’s something that I’ve successfully used to help myself, have received specialized training in, and now also use to help other IBS sufferers!

If you’ve been diagnosed and are suffering from IBS -or- know someone who is, this episode might just be the guide, support and solution you’ve been waiting for!

F*cked Around + Found Out Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

When it comes to trying new things - the best way for me to learn what I think about it, what I feel about it, and whether I like or don’t like a particular person, place, program or product, etc. - is to do what I call: FAFO!

That’s right, I’ve got to: “F*ck Around + Find Out”. Which is a fun way to say that I have to experience things for myself.

This applies to ALL kinds of things, like… learning new skill sets, gathering “tools” for my spiritual toolkit, how I market my business, and even having human relationships.

2023 was a year where I really embraced the FAFO and I f*cked around and found out a lot about myself and my business. I tried a bunch of new things and I stopped doing a bunch of things.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re taking a closer look at how to wrap up the year and look ahead to what you want to create in 2024!

We dive into my New Years Eve rituals - that include reflecting on what I learned in the past year, what I loved about the year, while also noticing where I fell short, where my plans fell apart, and who maybe wasn’t very much fun to be around.

This end-of-year ritual is my chance to look back and take personal responsibility for what I've created in my life over the past year — and while also envisioning, with the support of my divine helpers, the possibility of what can BE moving forward.

So, what about you? What were your great lessons and loves of 2023?

And what are you simplifying and amplifying in the new year?

Right now, you have the opportunity to take responsibility for where you came from over the last 12 months, and plan for where you’re going next!

Are you ready and excited to FAFO in 2024?

KK's Takeaways:

• New Year's Eve Rituals + Self-Care (01:03)

• Reflecting On The Year + Setting Goals For The Next Year (08:16)

What Might Happen To You Then Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

A quote I love from writer Jonathan Franzen is at the heartbeat of today’s episode. He says:

“When you stay in your room in rage or sneer or shrug your shoulders as I did for many years. The world and its problems are impossibly daunting. But when you go out and put yourself in real relation to real people, or even just real animals, there's a very real danger that you might end up loving some of them and who knows what might happen to you then.”

The world can sometimes feel overwhelming or daunting and we might need to occasionally draw back a bit to allow ourselves time away to recharge and reset.

The key here though is that we don’t stay shut away forever. Finding, creating and or being a part of a community of people, animals and experiences equally, is important for us to thrive.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about suffering and connection, ‌and putting ourselves in real relation to real people and real animals… not just the ones in our minds and behind our screens.

There is a magic that can bloom when we allow ourselves to be open and vulnerable and to go out into the world and connect, to share our lives, and maybe even fall in love with some other humans and animals.

So this is my personal invitation and encouragement for you / me to get off of our devices and to come out of “our rooms”, and to be open to loving the people, loving the animals, loving the earth and also importantly - loving yourself inside and out!

Take a chance and watch what might just happen when you do it!

KK's Takeaways:

• The Power Of Connection + Introspection (01:02)

• Connection + Loneliness (5:05)

• Service + Empathy (10:51)

• Connection + Personal Growth (16:41)

• Using Suffering As Motivation To Help Others (21:00)

She’s been a yoga teacher for 22+ years, is a Certified Gateless Writing Instructor, and is also an author, speaker, retreat leader and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.

A curious human being, life-long learner and an entrepreneur for 20+ years, KK brings a down-to-earth perspective to applying spiritual principles, hypnosis and brain science that can create powerful shifts in your life and business.
