On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the idea that, “My life is a reflection of who I have been and the choices I have made.”
Meaning that the current state of your life, relationships, habits, and experiences are the cumulative result of your past thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
However, to be clear, this doesn't mean your life is solely a reflection of your own choices - it's also influenced by your early life experiences, systems of oppression, and other external factors beyond your control.
The good news is that you have the power to change your life by changing your mindset and making new choices going forward.
Rather than dwelling on the past, which you can't change, you can pause, reflect, and consciously choose how you want to think, feel, and BE moving ahead.
This involves slowing down, taking some deep breaths, and resetting your mindset to be more aligned with your values and desired outcomes.
Small, consistent changes in your internal daily thoughts and actions can gradually shift the reflection you see in your external life.
Instead of waiting until the new year, we can start making these shifts now!
Visualize and get clear on how you want your life to look, then take practical steps to make it happen.
Remember, your life is a story – so write it well and edit it often.
Ultimately, your life is a mirror reflecting back to you the essence of who you have BEEN and who you are BEING.
By taking responsibility for your inner world, you can create a life that beautifully reflects your true self and highest potential. It's never too late to make a change and start experiencing the life you want!
KEY POINTS:
• Your Life Reflects Your Choices
• Slowing Down
• Reset Your Mindset
• Consciously Choosing Thoughts + Actions
• Small Changes Create Big Shifts
• Visualize the Life You Want
• Your Life is a Story

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I introduce the concept that I came up with called “the truthie truth”. 😆
Using a personal story and a character from the popular HBO series, “The Penguin” - I discuss how people often struggle admitting the full truth to themselves, even when it’s clear to others.
We’ll dive into the importance of facing difficult truths and the danger of not being willing to be honest with ourselves, whether it’s about our own stuff – or the behaviors of others.
I also talk about the emotional and psychological toll of not accepting the truth, why taking responsibility matters, all the while acknowledging the impact of trauma.
Finally, I share a breathing technique to help regulate your nervous system and share the importance of having a mentor or a supportive community like The Nest, when navigating this kind of personal and spiritual development.
KEY POINTS:
• Admit Truths To Yourself First
• Trauma Explains, but Doesn't Excuse
• Breathwork Aids Nervous System Regulation
• Seek Supportive Community For Growth
• Embrace Both Brilliance + Mistakes
• Compassion + Humor Ease Self-Discovery

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I tell a little story about my car that highlights the difference between dealerships and mechanics.
I discuss how the approach of “replace vs. repair” can be applied not only to our personal and professional relationships…
But also, in how we choose to consume and whether it’s best to renew, recycle, and reuse rather than tossing and buying something new.
We also dive into the importance of honest conversations when it comes to repairing our relationships, and acknowledge our own human clumsiness and fear of vulnerability.
This is a great episode for self-reflection and intentional decision making about what to keep, let go of, or work on!
KEY POINTS:
• Repair vs. Replace
• Honest Self Reflection
• Invest in Quality
• Vulnerability in Relationships
• Sustainability Over Instant Gratification
• Intention Empowers Change

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I put a fun new personal spin on the concept of the “Know, Like, Trust Factor.”
The KLT Factor is a common marketing strategy that’s focused on building relationships with clients/customers - so that people will be more likely to “buy” from or do business with you.
I take this concept and flip the script – proposing that we shift our focus from an external “know, like, trust” with others - to an internal KLT experience with ourselves.
This is an invitation to explore your own KLT Factor – by building a deeper relationship with your Self, Source, and Spirit – using the traditional “know, like, trust" tips!
Check it out and see if you feel inspired to start your own KLT Factor leading into 2025!
KEY POINTS:
• Building Self-Trust
• Developing a DSP
• Inspiring + Motivating Yourself
• Providing Your Own Testimonials
• Aligning Actions with Values
• Being Generous + Accountable

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I tell a story about how I often talk about “Today me, thanking ‘younger me’ – for decisions that I’ve made.”
Which led me to discussing the powerful process created by Richard Schwartz - called Internal Family Systems (IFS) – also known as “Parts work.”
I share how it’s so important for us to have self-compassion when reflecting on our younger selves.
I also dive deeper into the different categories of our various “Parts”, why they often get created, and removing the blocks and barriers that prevent us from accessing our true “capital S” Self.
I also highlight the significance of the true Self and break down the eight qualities it embodies, like curiosity, calm, clarity, courage and more!
By applying these IFS principles, we can cultivate a deeper understanding and acceptance of our past selves.
This self-compassion can then empower us to integrate those younger parts and move forward with more wholeness and self-love. It's a powerful process of inner healing and growth.
If you want to learn more about how to better understand and compassionately engage with the younger you – whether that was the you from 20 minutes or 20 years ago – this episode is for you!
KEY POINTS:
• Embracing Younger You
• Cultivate Compassion, Not Criticism
• Understand Your Exiled Parts
• Unburden Your Protective Parts
• Embody Your True Self Qualities
• Investing in Your Own Growth + Healing
