The Karen Kenney Show

One of the things that I know about my Spiritual Team, is that they’re wicked funny… and they will use just about ANYTHING, to help me, guide me or give me an “universal sign”. Recently they “came in hot”, by delivering a message via my sweetie’s fortune cookie that literally stopped me mid-chew! Ha! That sucker said: “A mentor is someone whose hindsight can become your foresight.” And I just had...

I’m wicked excited because today on The Karen Kenney Show, I’m talking to one of my beloved mentors, the multi-award-winning author and in my own words “super-duper smarty pants”, Melissa Tiers! Melissa is the founder of the Center for Integrative Hypnosis in New York and it’s been said about her, “When it comes to coaching and the brain, Melissa Tiers is known as ‘the teachers’ teacher’ all over...

When you’re doing personal development or spiritual growth work, it can be wicked easy to just gather lots of information and give the ol’ ego a feeling of satisfaction and superiority for checking another box! I read that book. (check) I listened to that podcast. (check) I took that course. (check) A lot of times people are doing all these things as a performative function, and not so much for th...

I was talking with a client of mine and she mentioned how much she loves and appreciates my podcast. She said that she loves hearing my voice in her head! Ha! It got me thinking about how each of us is always channeling internal voices in our minds. The voice we hear “in our head” that I would equate to a personal podcast with many stations. What influences how you feel, the direction you go in, h...

"SUCK IT IN A BUCKET" I think that there’s a lot of misperceptions and expectations about people who are supposed to be - quote, unquote, “spiritual”. There’s this belief that spiritual people are supposed to look, sound, or be a particular way. The reality is, as a spiritual person and spiritual mentor - I can also show up in what I call a highly “spirited” kind-of-way. I Which means I might not...

As you go throughout your day, pay attention to the way that you talk to yourself, listen to the words that you use and notice how they make you feel when you hear them, echo back to you. Are there any that cause you to slam on the brakes? Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about what one of my teachers, Melissa Tiers, likes to call “door stopper” words. Where in your life, whether pers...

The word gratitude derives from the Latin word “Gratia” meaning grace or graciousness. I think the beautiful thing about it is, when we feel gratitude, it kind of encompasses all of these things, that feeling of graciousness, gratefulness, and ultimately grace, all in one. Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I’m talking about the power of gratitude and how the act of being thankful brings so much powe...

It's really uncool to lift, use, and steal other people's intellectual property, words, ideas, quotes, music, all of it - without giving credit. Now this doesn’t mean we can’t share what we learned from someone else, or talk about who or what inspired us, but this is where and why the importance of giving acknowledgement and attribution, must come into play. The reality is, if you don’t give credi...

There have been times in my life when, Thank God - I didn't get what I wanted. Now of course, in the moment there may have been some feelings of disappointment or upset, especially if it was something I really had my heart set on. But the reality is… we sometimes project ourselves onto these desires outside of our heart, claiming them as personal wants, with thoughts like “I must have this thing”...

At the core of who we truly are, there lies a unique and beautiful individual being and soul who is here for a purpose. Unfortunately, sometimes as children life can hit us wicked hard with the kind of stuff that alters, shifts and changes us. The kind of events, experiences and environments that begin to shape and mold how we see ourselves, the people around us, the world, and our place in it. To...

I first discovered my guest online and was so deeply moved by his writing. The honesty, vulnerability and storytelling that he shared really landed in my heart and I got wicked curious about who he was and how he was inspiring the world. So I put on my little detective hat and dug further into the online life of Joon Park. It was this dive that brought me to his website; home to his very short, su...

Wouldn't it be cool if we all had beauty bursting from our minds like the blooms of a flower? Imagine if we had beautiful arrangements of thoughts, creativity, kindness and love brightening up the world around us with their vibrant color. The good news is, this symbolically is within the realm of possibility, but it takes a conscious effort of awareness on our part when it comes to the food, knowl...

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking with transformational business owner, Lisa Dadd about “Soul Language” and what I like to call her “wicked spiritual approach” to sales. Whether you have a business or not, as a human, we are still in “sales” a lot of the time. If we have children, if we're in a relationship with a partner, or even if we’re just hanging out making plans with friends - w...

Between the nine different time zones we have here in the US, it can sometimes get kind of confusing to keep track of where/when you need to be when meeting online. If you’ve ever been invited to virtual event, a webinar, a workshop or something online and you think it is happening at 1:00pm your time, only to find out that it actually starts at 4:00pm, because the other person is in California an...

Trusting someone to the point of throwing referrals their way “without having to think twice about it” is the kind of relationship I have with this week’s special guest. I know that no matter who I send his way, he’s going to show up, pay attention and do the very best he can to be helpful. Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking to my friend and chiropractor, Dr. Brett Coapland. Brett is th...

When it comes to our personal growth development and our spiritual transformation work, there’s no way to just “one and done it”. Often I hear people will say things like, “Oh Yeah …” I’ve read the book. I’ve watched the Youtube video. I’ve taken the course. I’ve listened to the podcast. And, my question is, “What did you do with that information afterwards?” There's a wicked big difference betwee...

Everything that we are and do and who we are BEING right now: our thoughts, our words, our actions, how we're showing up and treating others, both human and animal… THIS is our obituary. I think so often, too often, we take life and the time we have here for granted. We really don’t like thinking too deeply about our own deaths, however I implore all of us to stop, take a pause, a moment of intros...

There’s an Olympic sport called “Curling” that involves bumpy ice, a smooth stone and some vigorous “sweepers” - who try to smooth out the path in front of the stone so it can travel farther and straighter. In our lives there's always going to be bumpy stuff that comes up for us. And, if we don’t feel mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically prepared and are not equipped to do what it take...

The other night on a call with my spiritual membership and community: THE NEST, I was reminded how we as people, creatives, and entrepreneurs often have a big fear of being judged. The thing with feeling judged by others is we begin to believe we don't belong, that we're being attacked, we're not safe or will be abandoned. It can also leave us feeling like we’re somehow wrong or that we’re not lov...

My good friend and guest Emily Aborn joins us today to talk about the power of both building communities and finding communities that build you up! Emiline (as I call her) is a Freelance Content Writer, the Founder of She Built This, a community for women entrepreneurs and professionals and the host of the She Built This Podcast! In this fun conversation, we dive into her earliest experiences of c...

In my realm of work, people are usually “symptom aware”. They know they’re unhappy, anxious, stressed out, struggling or suffering in some way. Where they get stuck is that they're often not “problem aware” (why or what’s really happening) and they’re definitely not “solution aware”. Meaning they’re not making the connection between the symptoms/problems they’re having and how somebody like me cou...

You see it all the time; people who aren’t writing the books, or creating the art or baking the food or building the business, and yet they still have something to say about those who are. You find them sitting on the sidelines, on the bench, in the bleachers and in the backseat offering up their critiques without ever having stepped foot into the arena themselves. Today on The Karen Kenney Show,...

I’ve been wanting to talk about this concept about “asking for support, not permission” more in depth for a long time now. It’s come up again and again in conversations with other entrepreneurs and also on podcasts where I’ve been a guest. I’ve touched upon the subject, but this episode gives me a chance to dive in a little deeper.. If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner or you sell things (ser...

If you’re on my email list, you saw that I recently sent one out that was titled, “Are You Willing to Enter The Cave?” It was all about a journey that started for me back when I was 17 and that intensified in my 20’s when I went on a couple of Spiritual Pilgrimages. It was on that particular trip to England & Ireland when I sat in Merlin’s Cave that I felt called to go on a “quest”. Most often...

Have you ever felt like you’re taking on too much in your personal life or business? Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about our lives as they might compare to a buffet. You know the restaurant/cafeteria style of eating where we get to pick and choose how much we pile onto our plates? Not sure how it is for you, but sometimes in this kind of setting, our eyes end up being bigger than o...
