On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I’m exploring the concept of "when helping hurts."
And how even our well-intentioned efforts to help others can sometimes do more harm than good.
I springboard off of the idea from the old quote, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
And I highlight how the outcomes we hope for, can differ from the original intent behind our “helping” actions.
I also share a few examples of misguided help, and how it can affect both humans and animals.
We’ll explore how helping can even become enabling or codependent - preventing people from facing the consequences of their choices and learning from their experiences.
Karen also discusses how helping can sometimes be a distraction from one's own personal issues, rather than a genuine desire to assist others.
I love humans that want to help, and…. we need to be self-aware about our own motivations and the negative impact that sometimes arises from well-intentioned help.
KEY POINTS:
• Unsolicited Help
• Intervening + Interventions
• Codependence + Enabling
• Help as a Distraction
• Relying on AI

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I’m reflecting on my own mortality (and others) and our last communications.
I talk about how we never know when or what our last words given or received might be.
And how the quality and tone of our last communications with loved ones matter because they might unknowingly be our final words to each other.
I also share about the emotional intelligence and maturity required to communicate effectively with one another, even when we’re pissed off or in the middle of a conflict.
I also encourage us to reflect on some of the last words we’ve said or written to the important people in our life and to consider if they truly reflect our genuine feelings.
If not, maybe now is the perfect time to take a few moments to send some love their way! xo

• Mindful Communication
• Last Words
• The Show ‘Shrinking”

This episode of The Karen Kenney Show was inspired by the famous Lao Tzu quote, "A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step."
I share a personal story about another simple and effective tool I use that helps me to get big stuff done – by taking tiny actions!
I’ll also talk about and explain a little bit about Kaizen – which is the fun philosophy of continuous improvement through small, incremental steps.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I’m sharing a sharing a simple, yet effective tool I often use to overcome resistance and take some action.
I discuss when, why, and how I use this tool and the importance of creating what’s called “a bias towards action”!
I’ll also explain how this wicked easy to use tool has helped me to interrupt the brain’s habit of overthinking and to beat that system we have in our head, that often stops us from taking action.
This sucker is great for when you’re feeling resistance or dragging your feet, even though you know you want or need to get things done.
This powerful pattern interrupt is especially helpful when you need to "knock it off" and get your ass in gear!
I hope you’ll give it a try and then let me know how it works for you!
KEY POINTS:
• A Helpful Tool
• Brain Overthinks
• Get It In Gear
• Feeling Resistance
• 5 to 1
• Pattern Interrupt
• Bias Toward Taking Action

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.
KEY POINTS:
• Masshole Attitude
• Vikki with 2 K’s from Lawrence
• Random FB Comment
• You Don’t Know Me
• STFU
• Supporting Women in Business
• Raising Our Prices
• Importance of a DSP
