The Karen Kenney Show – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I’m sharing a story about a recent FB comment I received about what I was charging for a drop-in class.

I’ll discuss the small-mindedness, fear, and lack of understanding that often accompanies these kinds of random comments and criticisms and how it can sometimes behoove you to just STFU.

We’ll also explore the importance of supporting fellow women in business and why it’s unfair for people to expect yoga teachers, etc. - to keep our prices the same over many years.

I’ll also share the importance of a DSP (Daily Spiritual Practice) in helping people get their minds right and respond to situations with love instead of fear.

• Vikki with 2 K’s from Lawrence

• Random FB Comment

Instead of dragging our past into our present (and ultimately our future) – we can chose a new way of being with ourselves and others!

KK BIO:

Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Hypnotist, and Coach. She’s known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent and her no-BS approach to Spirituality and transformational work.

She’s been a yoga teacher for 23+ 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 and brain science that create powerful shifts in people’s lives and businesses.

She works with people individually in her 1:1 program, THE QUEST, and offers a collective learning experience via her group mentoring program, THE NEST.

She works with both the conscious and unconscious mind by combining practical Neuroscience, Subconscious Reprogramming, Integrative Hypnosis, and Spiritual Mentorship. These tools help clients regulate their nervous systems, remove blocks, rewrite stories, rewire beliefs, and reimagine what’s possible!

Karen wants her clients to have their own lived experience with spirituality and to not just “take her word for it”. She encourages people to deepen their personal connection to Self, Source and Spirit in tangible, relatable, and actionable ways without losing sight of the magic.

Her process called: “Your Story To Your Glory” helps people to shift from an old thought system of fear to one of Love - using compassion, un-shaming, laughter and humor, her work is effective, efficient, and it’s also wicked fun!

KK’s been a student of A Course in Miracles for close to 30 years, has been vegan for over 20 years, and believes that a little kindness can go a long way and make a miraculous difference.

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, we’re talking about the kinds of people that light me up to work with and who I also want to spend my time with both personally and professionally.

These are the ones that are showing up and actively participating in their life and their business with their whole body, mind and soul in the game. If they get knocked down, they’re willing to get back up, to try new things or to seek help in both healing and growing themselves or growing their businesses.

As a spiritual mentor, it gives me great joy to work with people who want to be more spiritually aligned, have more self knowledge, who no longer want to just sit and complain about things in their life, but instead are willing to actually do the work it takes to get better.

That energy of being willing to get down to business is exciting to me. That’s what LIGHTS ME UP!!

How about you? Are you one of the ones in the arena?

It’s part of Karen’s calling to help people rewrite their old stories, shift their perception from fear to Love, and deepen their connection to Self, Source & Spirit!

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 (services, products, programs, etc) there comes a moment in the conversation with a potential client or customer about wanting to sign up to work together, join the program, buy the product and the inevitable question of “payment” or moving forward with making the investment?

Today on the Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the thing that sometimes happens when you talk with a person who already knows they want to work with you, they feel it in their gut that you’re the right mentor/coach/company/solution for them or their problem and they even say, “Yes! I want to do this or buy this thing or take that leap of faith...”

BUT…

And I’ve seen this time and time again, where the person will be 100% ready to go, they’re wicked excited to begin, they might even ask for the sign up link and then they say something like, “I just have to talk to my husband/wife/sweetie/partner first.”

They move from their inner, intuitive knowing, where they were lit up and excited to go, grow, heal, and expand, into now having to talk to someone else before they invest in themselves, their calling or their business.

This conversation can unfortunately be the place where dreams go to die.

Because the partner might not be an entrepreneur or may not understand or believe in the importance of mentors/coaches, spiritual growth or investing in personal development. They might also not have the same dreams, vision or purpose as you do. They might not share the same money stories or they may be more risk averse than you are.

This is where asking for support rather than permission comes into play.

Now, I know that there’s lots of different financial situations and nuanced processes around decision making in relationships, especially when it comes to spending money. So this isn’t a judgment.

This episode is an exploration about these kinds of conversations and hopefully a helpful way to approach them. It helps to know yourself, know what you want and need and to lead with love instead of fear, so you can find the courage to ask for support to back you up, rather than the permission to take the first step.

KK's Takeaways:

• I Just Need To Talk To (5:56)
• Justify My Desire (9:19)
• They Aren’t Willing To Take The Risks (18:29)
• Investing In Yourself (24:15)
• Squirrel Away Your Investment (31:08)
• I Believe In Myself (41:02)

It’s part of Karen’s calling

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 when we think about going on a quest, we think of journeying to faraway places or discovering new lands! And those external adventures can also be incredible experiences for the one who has been called.

However for me, “The Quest” although it has shown up in a multitude of ways at different points in my life, each one was ultimately pointing me to a journey inward.

It was answering the call to know myself, so that I could build a solid foundation for both my personal and professional life.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about my relationship with the word, Quest, where it originated from, how it's influenced me and my work, and the fun and powerful ways it’s continually shown up over the course of my personal and professional life.

After listening to this episode, perhaps you’ll also feel called to answer the call of your heart, take that leap of faith and to join “The Quest”!

KK's Takeaways:

• Getting A Nod From Your Spiritual Team (7:04)
• July of 1997 With Marianne Williamson (13:00)
• Merlin’s Crystal Caves (15:03)
• Fate Or Future (20:35)
• Your Life Is A Quest (26:17)
• Spiritual Mentorship Adventure (34:16)
• The Quest (37:16)

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 our stomachs and our plates become way too full to finish.

The same can be seen in our daily lives; people calling on us for help, looking for support, a bunch of events and activities that we want to attend, filling up the schedule, booking up all of our time and we end up with too much on our symbolic “plates” of life.

We fill our day to day with so much commitment that we leave no room for ourselves to just BE, often taking it to the point of burnout. We need to be more aware of our limits, what we say yes to, who’s been “picking” off our plates and when it’s time to back away from the buffet! Ha!

What have you been putting on your plate that you could delegate or let go of?

Have you ever felt underestimated by different people in your life?

Sometimes, people are quick to underestimate us, particularly if we’re not the same as them or display characteristics or traits that differ from their own. But to that I say “let them underestimate you.” Use their disbelief to your advantage.

The people who truly get you and value you won't be swayed by the ignorance of others - they'll see your genuine skills, truth and characteristics and appreciate them and even, admire you for them.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the secret superpowers that each of us have. A brilliance, a light and love that just because other people don't always see it, whether they're threatened by it, afraid of it, or don't want to acknowledge it out of fear, arrogance or fragility, doesn’t make your worth any less true.

So if nobody else has told you today, just know that I’m over here celebrating you.

Let them underestimate you, because I know and I hope you know, how powerful you are at the core of it all.

KK's Takeaways:

• Let Them Underestimate You (7:17)

• We’re Out Of Those (11:58)

• Vikki Runs Forward (15:44)

• Walk Softly & Carry A Big Stick (37:58)

• We All Have A Little Rocky In Us (42:02)

When it comes to my Spiritual Team (ST), I’m what you might call kind of a “mutt.”

I draw upon a lot of Divine Helpers from different traditions and don't just stick to only one particular thing. My ST is a cast of characters that put me back in touch with who I really am, remind me of what I'm capable of, what my purpose is and to whom I belong.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the “ass kickers” that are on my Spiritual Team! We’re diving into why I think they're important, why I encourage people to have at least one on their team, and what the power and benefit of their presence can do for us.

Now, not everybody is going to feel the same about having some on their team and that’s OK. This is where knowing yourself is wicked important because we’ll all be inspired by different people, means, tones of voice, and approaches.

If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, when I say “Spiritual Team”, then you’ve probably not downloaded my freebie gift to you. It's a downloadable PDF called “Building & Meeting Your Spiritual Team”. Go to karenkenney.com/freebie to learn more and get your copy today!

In this day and age of social media and the internet, a lot of people seem to have no respect for intellectual property. They will just take someone else’s words, content and or ideas and slap their name on a quote card and call it their own.

They believe that if they alter it slightly, even just by one word and then attribute it to themselves, then they’re good to go. Sometimes they’ll even teach entire concepts word for word without ever giving attribution.

In fact, there's a few successful people who’ve made a lot of money in the coaching and entrepreneurial world on the backs of people who came before them that they give no credit to.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about having integrity and not plagiarizing someone else’s work. Or as I like to simply say…

“Don’t steal sh*t!”

It’s really not that complicated. Having the integrity to acknowledge your teachers or where you get information from doesn’t take anything away from your intelligence or reputation.

In fact, it works in your favor and shows that you’re confident enough in your own wisdom and lived experience, to not be afraid to let people know about your mentors, teachers or other brilliant friends who you’ve learned from or are also doing great work in the world!

KK's Takeaways:

• Go & Steal Someone Else’s Work?! (3:20)
• Be, Do, Have (7:30)
• There Are Exceptions (13:48)
• Live Their Lives Backwards (18:05)
• Who Am I Being? (21:46)
