In this Strides Revisited episode, we're returning to one of the most powerful mindset shifts in riding - the moment when you stop trying to control your horse's every move… and start asking with clarity instead. This episode takes a fresh look at leg yielding; not just as a lateral movement, but as a powerful training tool to refine how you use your aids and communicate with your horse. Whether you're rebuilding your confidence or looking to sharpen your lateral work, this is where the shift begins. In this episode, you'll learn: Why pushing = resistance - and what to do instead How to create “open doors” with your seat and reins to show your horse where to go The importance of timing your aids with how your horse is actually moving How feedback builds a conversation (and trust) between you and your horse
Season 6, Episode 15: Reclaiming Worth, Stillness & Soul – With Debbie Styles (Co-hosted by Molly Lynch) In this special episode of My Love of Life Energy, I'm joined by Molly Lynch—my partner in the Exquisite Being project—as we sit down together with the luminous Debbie Styles, financial mentor and co-creator of Enrich and Refine. Together, we explore how redefining self-worth, embracing stillness, and creating “empty space” can change the way we live, spend, and feel. Debbie shares how letting go of constant doing opened up room for true connection, presence, and joy. ✨ We're also thrilled to announce that Molly and I will be speaking at the upcoming Enrich & Refine event — a full-day gathering of soulful women dedicated to presence, connection, and inner wisdom.
In this life… we will have pain, but how we respond to it shapes everything. In John 16:33, Jesus promises we will face tribulation but urges us to take heart—He has overcome the world!

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I discuss a fun and helpful idea that I've been sharing with my 1:1 clients and Nest community.It's a concept I call, "Fine, Define, Refine" – which basically suggests that from the start we're totally “fine”, perfect, and awesome!But then the crazy world gets a hold of us, life stuff happens, and people start slapping labels on you that maybe leave you feeling not-so-fine. But here's the thing - those pesky and sometimes hurtful labels aren't the real you!One of the ways we get our mojo and magic back is when we start to "re-fine" ourselves. This isn't about fixing what we perceive as broken. This is about remembering who we truly are.It's about looking at ourselves with love, ditching those external definitions, and reconnecting with our innate, Divine essence. We're not broken - we just temporarily feel disconnected from our true selves. My little love reminder from my heart to yours?You came in perfect.The world might have tried to define you, but you have the power to redefine and remember your inherent value. You're not just good enough - you're brilliant, beautiful, and absolutely worthy of love.So, how about we stop beating ourselves up, and start celebrating who we really are! KEY TAKEAWAYS:• You are inherently "fine", worthy, and lovable• External influences will try to define you• You can refine yourself through compassion and self-love• Always remember your eternal, Divine, spiritual essence• Those pesky labels are not your true identity• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

Send us a textEver wondered why some manifestations seem stuck on the edge of appearing while others feel like you're forcing them into existence? The answer lies in the delicate dance between masculine and feminine energies – the fundamental creative forces behind all manifestation.Most spiritual teachings touch on these energies, but few explain how to practically apply them in daily life. Masculine energy isn't just about being a provider or protector, just as feminine energy isn't merely about being pretty or nurturing. These energies represent core principles: masculine brings structure, action, and discipline while feminine offers creativity, intuition, and receptivity. Like breathing in and out, we need both in harmony.The magic happens at what I call "the balance point." When we recognize which energy to lead with in different situations, our manifestations flow naturally. Business requires masculine structure, but without feminine intuition, you'll burn out. Relationships need feminine connection, but without masculine boundaries, they lack foundation. The signs of imbalance are clear – burnout and perfectionism signal too much masculine energy, while perpetual waiting and almost-manifestations indicate an overreliance on feminine energy.Ready for transformation? Try my four-step manifestation framework: begin with masculine clarity (setting a vision), add feminine embodiment (connecting to the feeling), create masculine structure (developing an action plan), and practice feminine surrender (allowing divine timing). This balanced approach isn't about becoming someone else but about making small tweaks that yield powerful results.Whether you're building a business, calling in a soulmate relationship, or simply seeking more joy, balancing these energies is your path to success. Remember – structure isn't punishment but support that creates the freedom your soul craves. Take a moment now to reflect: which energy do you naturally lead with, and where might you benefit from more balance?The Portal Membership – Making progress but wondering why things aren't next level clicking?

Send us a textSpecial thanks to Larry Greenlee for his lesson recently titled: "Breaking the Cycle." His three ideas can absolutely change your life, and quickly: Remove, Replace, Refine. It is a pleasure to explore these with you today, particularly the first one. Plants can't grow until the weeds are removed. New things cannot exist where there is no place for them. Everything good, along with things that break down old cycles, starts with removing necessary obstacles. Today we explore six areas where you can make those cuts:1) Technology and Entertainment2) Mental Clutter3) Toxic Relationships4) Excess Commitments5) Financial Waste6) Unhealthy HabitsCan you pick one thing from each of these categories to cut out of your life, at least for a time? To add to this exercise, what would you like to add? What would you like more of in your daily routine? Exchange one thing for another.

Here's a topic that starts with an interesting question: What puts more trout in the net? Is it knowing your water or knowing your tactics?Of course, the easy answer is . . . both. Refine your skills and learn your rivers. Then put all of that together, and you have a great formula, not only for catching trout but for having a lot of fun.The truth is, as frequent anglers we're always involved in improving. It goes way beyond filling the fly box with new patterns. We know our deficiencies, and we're working to fix them. We also know you can only really tackle one thing at a time. So if you're out there fishing, or maybe even on the way to your next fishing trip, what are you working on? Really, what will put more fish in the net? Is it better to focus on the tactics and techniques, or is it better to learn the river itself? Basically, that means reading water better and finding fish.So we're looking forward to this discussion. It's a good concept, and we all have some opinions.My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell and Austin Dando join me for a great discussion.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | How Woodsmanship Catches Fish - S11, Ep6VIDEO: Troutbitten | Reading Water in Levels, Lanes and SeamsREAD: Troutbitten | Read Trout WaterREAD: Troutbitten | Fish Familiar Waters VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

Send us a textMoney problems aren't solved by having more money—they're solved by developing a healthier relationship with the money you already have. This powerful truth forms the foundation of a mindset shift that can transform your financial reality starting today.Are you waiting to feel abundant until your bank account reflects it? The universe doesn't work that way. Instead, it's carefully watching how you steward what you currently have, building what I call your "universal credit score." If you can't manage $100 with gratitude, responsibility, and wisdom, you won't suddenly develop those qualities with $100,000. The wealthiest version of yourself isn't spending recklessly—she's making conscious choices that reflect her values and long-term vision.Money, at its essence, is simply energy—a form of divine flow that we're entrusted to steward. Every purchase decision you make carries either abundance energy or scarcity energy. Those worn-out sheets you keep using? The health choices you compromise to save a few dollars? The way you feel when checking your bank account? All these small moments are opportunities to declare to the universe who you truly are and what you're ready to receive. Just as with relationships, the abundance we attract directly reflects our self-concept and what we believe we deserve.Ready to transform your relationship with money at its core? This episode offers practical affirmations and shadow work prompts to help you identify and eliminate the limiting beliefs keeping you financially stuck. For those sensing they're made for greater abundance but struggling with persistent blocks, coaching applications are available in the show notes. Remember, the level of abundance the universe has available for you is always vastly more expansive than what you can currently imagine for yourself.The Portal Membership – Making progress but wondering why things aren't next level clicking?

Send us a textFeeling unworthy of wealth despite your deepest desires? This transformative exploration reveals how to break free from the money illusions holding you back from your divine birthright of abundance.We begin by examining a powerful question: Why don't you believe you're worthy of being rich? The answer exposes the lies and limiting beliefs preventing you from accessing your natural state of abundance. These beliefs aren't your truth—they're illusions obscuring your soul's connection to universal abundance.When we feel financial lack, we experience something far deeper than material scarcity. We're disconnecting from our soul's true nature, which mirrors the universe's abundant, giving, and loving qualities. This separation feels as frightening as a child lost in a crowded store, cut off from their parent. How can we possibly embody our most generous, joyful selves when constrained by financial stress and worry?Your worth has absolutely nothing to do with your bank account. The notion that one soul could be "worth" $50,000 while another is "worth" $5 million is absurd—who sets these price tags? Instead, financial abundance flows from two simple truths: recognizing your inherent worth as a divine being, and discovering how to share your unique gifts to create maximum impact in the world. The highest earners have mastered either volume (reaching more people) or depth (impacting people more profoundly).Through powerful affirmations and shadow work prompts, you'll begin dismantling the inherited beliefs blocking your receiving channels. You'll recognize that abundance is your birthright, not a reward, and that expanding into wealth allows you to give more generously, connecting you more deeply to universal flow.Ready to build generational wealth from a spiritually aligned foundation?

We will eventually have to walk through the fire, the trials, the suffering, the season of loss or barrenness, and it's so easy from our limited perspective and point of view to believe God is the one burning us. But as we will discuss today, God will not burn His people. He will repurpose the fire and the flames to refine us, to become more resilient, and to be redeemed out of His for His glory!

Send us a textJudgment might be the most subtle yet powerful force sabotaging your manifestations and spiritual growth. I'm diving deep into something we all struggle with—those sneaky judgmental thoughts that feel so justified in the moment but silently drain our energetic resources.Have you ever wondered why judgment is so addictive? There's a reason your mind keeps returning to those critical thoughts about others. Each time you judge someone, you receive an instant energetic "hit"—a brief feeling of superiority or stimulation that gives your ego a boost. It feels good momentarily, which is precisely why it's so hard to stop. But this temporary high comes at a devastating cost to your manifestation abilities and spiritual alignment.The profound truth is that if your soul had incarnated into that "annoying" person's body—with their exact brain chemistry, life experiences, and pre-selected "soul settings"—you would be making identical choices. We're all the same divine energy experiencing human life through different temporary vehicles. When you judge others, you're not actually elevating yourself; you're reinforcing separation in a universe designed for unity.I'm sharing practical techniques to break free from judgment, including a powerful pre-sleep ritual to clear negative energy, simple affirmations to rewire your thinking, and shadow work prompts to understand what your judgment of others reveals about your own hidden fears. The spiritual system I teach shows that the more we extend compassion rather than criticism, the more we open ourselves to divine blessings and protection from chaos.Ready to transform judgment into spiritual growth? Your manifestations depend on it. Take a moment today to notice when judgment arises, pause, and choose connection instead. Your energetic bank account—and your future manifestations—will thank you.The Portal Membership – Making progress but wondering why things aren't next level clicking?

You want to be on podcasts! What a great way to be introduced to someone else's audience, share your story, and have people learn about your business and what problems you solve. However, there are some ways to blow that opportunity as a podcast guest. Jessica Rhodes founded Interview Connections back when no other agencies like it existed. She loves helping entrepreneurs who feel like the best-kept secret grow their business online through genuine, human-to-human connections. The podcast interviews Jessica and her team have booked have helped their clients generate millions of dollars in sales, sell thousands of books, and transform countless lives. Jessica has three important pillars for becoming a podcast guest. The first pillar is the relationship with the podcast host. Many people leverage podcast guesting as a ticket to someone else's audience, but they don't focus on the host. Podcast interviewing is about networking, collaboration, and having a connection with another human being who's in your line of work and has your target market. Recognize the value of the interview, even if nobody listens to or downloads the show. The opportunity to answer questions, share a story, and reflect on how powerful what you're saying is valuable. Jessica recommends connecting with the host on social media and learning about their business. "I don't think entrepreneurs really understand or know the amount of resources, time, and money that goes into having a podcast," says Jessica. "Whether there's 50 people listening or there's a thousand people listening." The second pillar of podcast guesting is repurposing the content: What stories are you talking about? What are you sharing? What anecdotes are you sharing? What are you saying about your story? Prepping the host by explaining what you will share will help you have a compelling interview. Jessica says it's important to have good-quality equipment, from learning how to use your microphone correctly to having good lighting. Some audience members might listen to audio only, while others might watch clips. When you give a good interview, there will be many clips that can be edited and leveraged on social media. The third pillar is to give a clear call to action. It should be free—it's not a webinar or a pitch. If you gave a good interview and people liked hearing from you for the first time, where can they get more? It might mean a discovery call or offers to join the guest's online community—whatever gets a conversation going. "There is so much less legwork on the back end once they opt-in versus an ad lead who's very cold and just kind of you caught their attention,” says Jessica. Podcasting can be a great way to generate warm leads. Jessica says this is all about being intentional with show selection. It expands and opens you up to audiences that aren't in your immediate circle of influence. Podcasting is a long-term strategy. Refine your message over time, and it's a skill to give a great podcast interview, whether you're a host or a guest. Stay visible and stay consistent. It also takes time for people to hear you. The podcast industry is continuing to grow—the medium is not going anywhere. There are more than 3 million podcasts, and they are becoming more targeted and niche.

Pain is not something we seek, but it's often the very thing that shapes us. Life's hardships have a way of stripping away our illusions of control, forcing us to rely on something greater—someone greater. The Bible doesn't tell us to avoid trials but to embrace them with joy, knowing they serve a divine purpose.Our springboard for today's discussion is: James 1:2-3 – "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."Just like gold is purified by fire, our faith is strengthened through adversity. Every difficulty we endure refines us, burning away impurities of doubt, pride, and self-reliance. Think about the great men and women of faith—Joseph was betrayed and imprisoned, David was hunted, Paul was beaten and imprisoned. Yet, their trials didn't destroy them; they prepared them for greater things.Pain isn't pointless. It builds resilience, deepens our dependence on God, and transforms us into the image of Christ. When we stop asking, Why is this happening to me? and start asking, What is God doing in me through this?—that's when growth happens.Question of the Day: How has a past trial shaped your faith and character?Let's Pray: Lord, help us to see our trials through Your eyes. Refine us, strengthen us, and mold us into the people You've called us to be. Give us steadfast faith to endure and trust in Your perfect plan.

Today, we're tackling a question many of us wrestle with: Why does God allow pain in our lives? It's a question that echoes through the ages, often met with silence or uncertainty. But the Bible gives us a different perspective—one that sees pain not as pointless suffering, but as a refining process.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Romans 5:3-4 – "Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope."Pain is not random. It has a purpose. Think about the process of refining gold—it requires fire. Without heat, the impurities remain. Our trials act as a refining fire, burning away what holds us back, shaping us into who God created us to be. When we suffer, we are given a choice: run from God or run toward Him. Those who lean into Him find that pain becomes a teacher, not a tormentor.Look at Job. He lost everything—wealth, family, health. He cried out to God in his suffering, yet in the end, Job's faith was strengthened. He came out of the storm with a deeper understanding of who God is. His pain was not in vain. It became the stage for a greater revelation.Jesus Himself walked through suffering. The cross was agony beyond comprehension, yet through His pain, salvation was made available to all. If suffering was part of Christ's journey, why should we expect a pain-free life? Instead, we should seek purpose in it, knowing that through endurance, we develop character, and through character, we find hope.Question of the Day: How has God used pain in your life to shape you into the person you are today?Let's Pray: Lord, we don't always understand why we suffer, but we trust that You are working through it. Help us to see Your hand even in our pain. Refine us, strengthen us, and teach us to lean on You.

And it's like, that's all great, but if we don't have this messaging piece locked in and really more of what we've been talking about today, which is that positioning piece, we can't connect to our ideal client and most importantly, we can't grow sales.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN THE BRAND ACCELERATOR] Ready to refine your messaging, increase your visibility, and scale your business with clarity?

In this episode, I tests Polymet AI, an AI product designer tool, by creating a YouTube analytics prediction SaaS concept inspired by a viral tweet about predicting tweet performance. I compares Polymet AI with V0, noting that while Polymet required multiple prompts and offered less feedback during the design process, both tools ultimately produced usable designs. I concludes that different AI tools have different strengths, and using multiple tools in combination might yield the best results.Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro02:33 - First Impressions of Polymet03:57 - Startup Idea: Predicting YouTube Engagement05:03 - Initial Design Prompt10:11 - Polymet's First Design Output: TubePredict11:04 - UI and Functionality Issues and Debugging16:08 - Polymet's Second Design Output17:44 - Debugging pt 220:48 - Prompting v0 22:30 - v0's Design Output 23:41 - Polymet's Third Design Output24:49 - Comparing v0 and Polymer and Final Thoughts on Design Outputs27:36 - Conclusion and Recommendations for AI Design ToolsKey Points• I tests Polymet AI a new AI product designer tool that claims to help non-designers create production-ready designs• I compares Polymet AI with v0, a similar tool he's used before, by designing a YouTube analytics prediction tool• Both tools produced functional designs, but with different user experiences and output quality1) First impressions of Polymet AI:• Clean interface similar to ChatGPT• Includes voice input (huge plus!)• Image upload capability for reference designs• Credit-based system (250 free credits to start)• 50 credits per page generation2) The design process with Polymet was... interesting.PROS:• Named the product "TubePredict" automatically• Created decent landing page copy• Saved version historyCONS:• Slow generation (2+ minutes)• No progress indicator (frustrating!)• Initial designs missed the mark completely 3) After 3 attempts with increasingly specific prompts, Polymet finally delivered:• Clean, modern interface• Detailed A/B testing dashboard• Statistical confidence indicators• AI suggestions for optimizationBut the communication was ONE-WAY. No feedback loop!4) Meanwhile, v0 showed its strengths:• Real-time reasoning as it designed• Conversational approach ("I'll create a SaaS that...")• Faster FEELING process (transparency helps!)• Ability to ask clarifying questionsThe difference in experience was NIGHT and DAY.5) The final designs were surprisingly similar in quality!Polymet's strengths:• More detailed product features• Hover states built in• Actual code generationv0's advantages:• Slightly more polished visually• More "glassy" as requested• Better feedback loop6) MAJOR INSIGHT: The future isn't about finding ONE perfect AI design tool.It's about using MULTIPLE tools strategically:• Generate initial concepts in one• Refine in another• Mix and match their strengthsJust like we do with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.7) The REAL lesson? Knowing design terminology matters!When I specifically requested "glassmorphism" instead of just saying "glassy," both tools performed MUCH better.The more precise your design vocabulary, the better your AI design results.8) Would I recommend these tools? YES - but with expectations in check.Two years ago this would have been MIND-BLOWING.Today, our standards are higher.But for quick prototyping or inspiration, both tools deliver value in different ways.Notable Quotes:"Two years ago, if I would have seen this, I would have been like, 'Oh my God, everything has changed.' And now our bar for all these AI products is so high that the output needs to be incredible for you to really use it in your workflow.""How do you get the most out of them is just you use all of them, you realize what's best for each individual product...

Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways [00:00:07] Introduction: The Power of Words in Marketing Marcia introduces the episode and the role of effective copywriting and branding in business success Guest Emily Aborn has worked with businesses in more than 113 industries, helping them create impactful messaging [00:02:26] Meet Emily Aborn: From Outdoor Gear to Copywriting Emily shares her journey from writing about outdoor sports gear to becoming a top content marketing strategist The importance of storytelling in making marketing more relatable and effective [00:06:49] Discovering What You Truly Love in Business How Emily identified her strengths in marketing, writing, and strategy The importance of aligning your business with your natural talents for long-term success [00:08:56] The Power of Specialization Without Losing Opportunities Many business owners fear niching down, but Emily reframes it as recognizing patterns in ideal clients Why specialization can actually attract higher-quality clients [00:10:59] Crafting a Clear, Authentic Message for Your Brand Avoid trying to be everything to everyone—clarity builds trust and connection Consistency in tone and language reinforces your brand identity Using recordings of natural conversations to refine messaging [00:13:40] Pain Points vs. Benefits: Finding the Right Balance Many marketing strategies focus only on pain points, but is that always the best approach? Why excitement and aspiration can be just as powerful as urgency and fear Instead of just fixing a problem, market the vision of a better future [00:15:47] Selling Without Manipulation Not every customer wants a quick fix—some prefer a strategic, long-term approach The difference between marketing to emergency buyers vs. aspirational buyers Why attracting aligned customers leads to better long-term relationships [00:20:29] Making Copywriting More Conversational and Engaging Find your natural speaking style and let it translate into your writing Avoid robotic or overly polished copy—people connect with authenticity Using voice memos to refine messaging before writing [00:23:28] Using Specificity to Make Your Message More Relatable A vague message won't connect with the right audience Example: Saying “Imagine biting into a slightly tart Granny Smith apple” is more engaging than just saying "apple.” Being specific makes content feel more personal and engaging [00:27:43] Targeting the Right Audience Without Being Too Narrow Instead of just selling wrinkle treatments, focus on the desired outcome Example: “Want to look effortlessly radiant, like you just applied the perfect makeup—but without wearing any?” Speaking to a specific outcome attracts the right audience without alienating potential customers [00:28:43] The One-Person Rule: Speaking Directly to Your Ideal Customer Content marketing should speak to one specific audience per post Trying to appeal to everyone at once makes messaging unclear and ineffective Instead of writing one long, general post, create separate targeted messages for different audience segments [00:30:42] Creating a Cohesive Marketing Strategy Marketing starts with a great conversation that builds trust and leads to sales Effective copywriting connects with the audience and makes it easy for them to take action Your words should reflect your brand personality so potential clients feel they already know you Conclusion: Your Words Can Build Your Business Great marketing isn't about tricks or gimmicks—it's about using the right words to connect, engage, and convert. Emily shared invaluable insights on balancing authenticity, specificity, and strategy to create messaging that truly resonates with your audience. So, what's your next step?

Focus isn't just a buzzword—it's everything. If you want to be truly great, you need to zero in on what matters most, and that's what today's episode is all about. I'm breaking down the absolute necessity of focus, and trust me, you can't get there without a plan. You need to map it out first, because without a clear strategy, your focus will scatter like confetti at a parade. The magic happens when you turn that plan into action, so once you've got your roadmap in place, it's all about execution. The key to success isn't in wishing or hoping—it's in putting in the work, staying consistent, and executing that plan like a true champion. But here's the thing: focus doesn't mean you can do it all. You've got to make hard decisions about what to prioritize, and that's where the power of saying "no" comes in. Saying no might feel uncomfortable at first, but it's a total game-changer when it comes to keeping distractions at bay and protecting your time. You can't be everything to everyone. That's why it's so important to make choices about what truly matters and what's going to move you closer to greatness. And here's the kicker: you've also got to recover! I know, I know—you're all about that hard work, but without recovery, you're just running on fumes. Focus isn't just about working hard, it's about working smart, and taking the time to recharge is crucial for maintaining long-term success. So, if you're tired of feeling scattered and overwhelmed, tune into this episode because I'm sharing all the strategies you need to sharpen your focus, reclaim your priorities, and start making some serious moves.
