The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas

TAKE THE CHALLENGEWhat does Proverbs 19 teach about being a good person in real life — not just in theory? In this powerful faith-based podcast episode about leadership, integrity, wisdom, and everyday character decisions, we explore how one simple moment on a morning dog walk became a real-world test of faith, obedience, and personal responsibility.You’ve probably had a moment like this.You’re walking through your normal routine… life feels ordinary… and then suddenly you’re faced with a decision that nobody else will see. No audience. No applause. Just you, your conscience, and a choice that quietly defines who you are becoming.On a morning walk, inspired by Proverbs 19, what started as a peaceful routine turned into an unexpected spiritual crossroads: my dog did what dogs do… and I realized I had no poop bags.Cue the internal debate.Do you walk away and pretend you didn’t notice?Or do you choose integrity when no one is watching?What followed was a literal and spiritual backtrack — walking farther than planned, wrestling with frustration, questioning whether doing the right thing was even worth the inconvenience. And right there, in that ordinary moment, God spoke clearly:Be a good person.But the story didn’t end there.When I finally opened Proverbs 19 afterward, the message hit differently. It wasn’t just encouragement — it was a blueprint for how to live wisely, lead faithfully, and build a life grounded in character.In this episode, YOU step into the hero’s journey — because every listener faces daily decisions that shape identity, reputation, and legacy.

What’s the story you’re telling yourself right now?In this episode of The VIBE, I unpack a lesson my mama and Pops lived every single day—long before it had a name, a book deal, or a hashtag. Whether it was my mama reminding me to always have something to look forward to, or my Pops sharing what it was like growing up Mexican in a small town in Utah, the message was clear: your mindset becomes your reality.Some people call it rose-colored glasses.Others call it a positive mental attitude.The Bible calls it wisdom.Drawing from Proverbs 10, we talk about how wisdom shapes the narrative you live by—especially when circumstances hit hard. Wisdom isn’t lazy. Wisdom speaks life. Wisdom brings joy, integrity, provision, favor, discipline, hope, and peace. Faith fuels wisdom, and wisdom gives you a foundation that doesn’t crack when life applies pressure.This conversation is about leadership, faith, mindset, and personal growth—about learning how to weigh the stories we tell ourselves against truth that sets us free. Because favorable circumstances aren’t guaranteed, but when wisdom leads, your narrative is always working in your favor.This episode is an invitation to pause and ask the question my mama and Pops always asked me:What’s the story you’re telling yourself today?🎙 If you’re into faith-based leadership, personal development, mindset mastery, and wisdom that actually works in real life—this one’s for you.
