You can feel your old self fighting to survive.But deep down, you already know the version of you built on fear cannot come with you anymore.In this deeply spiritual and expansive conversation, I sit down with astrologer, yoga teacher, meditation guide, and author Rob Dorgan to explore the energetic shifts happening on the planet right now and what they are truly asking of us.This episode goes beyond surface-level spirituality. We talk honestly about awakening, fear, divine consciousness, meditation, the rise of the feminine, and the inner transformation many people are being pushed into right now — even when it feels uncomfortable.Rob shares his own journey from academia into spirituality, how yoga and astrology changed his life, and the mystical experience that led him to write Awakening the Mystic — a novel that weaves together healing, consciousness, ego, fear, love, and spiritual evolution in a deeply human way.This conversation is a reminder that spirituality is not about escaping life. It is about becoming fully present within it.If you have been feeling disconnected, emotionally stretched, spiritually exhausted, or unsure who you are becoming during this shift, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Key Themes✨ The spiritual meaning behind the current energy shifts ✨ Why discomfort is often a sign your soul is evolving ✨ The rise of divine feminine consciousness ✨ Meditation, silence, and reconnecting to your true selfTakeaways✨ Your breakdown may actually be a redirection ✨ Self-care is spiritual responsibility, not selfishness ✨ Fear loses power when you learn to pause and breathe ✨ You do not need to become someone else to awaken — you need to remember who you areSound Bites✨ All struggle makes us who we are today ✨ We all can do what mystics do ✨ Build a muscle of meditation, start small ✨ The version of you built on fear cannot lead your next chapter ✨ Silence changes the way you respond to lifeAlso available to watch on YouTube If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcastGuest BioRob Dorgan is an astrologer, yoga teacher, meditation guide, retreat leader, and author of Awakening the Mystic.

You can do all the healing work and still feel stuck.That does not mean you are failing. It may mean you are trying to force something your soul is not ready to move through yet.In this solo episode, I share a grounded and honest reflection on divine timing, aligned action, self-care, and the uncomfortable space between who you have been and who you are becoming.So many people are feeling this right now. You have healed. You have released. You have done the inner work. But the next chapter still does not feel fully here.This episode is a reminder that forcing outcomes can create more resistance, and sometimes the deepest movement begins when you stop chasing and start listening.I talk about trusting your intuition over fear, learning to feel the difference between aligned action and pressure, connecting with your guides, and allowing your self-care to become the foundation for your next phase.This is not about doing nothing.It is about taking the right actions from the right energy.Because your soul cannot be forced.And what is delayed may still be being created for you.Key Themes✨ Why forcing outcomes can block your next level of growth✨ How to recognise aligned action versus fear-led pressure✨ Why self-care is essential during spiritual transformation✨ Connecting with your guides and Akashic Records for deeper trustTakeaways✨ You are not behind just because something has not arrived yet✨ Delay does not always mean denial✨ Your body and intuition often know before your mind does✨ The next chapter may require you to release old expectationsSound Bites✨ Every decision is a learning curve✨ Trust your intuition over fear✨ Your soul does not have a religion✨ You cannot force your soul✨ Stop chasing and start listeningAlso available to watch on YouTube If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcastConnect with Nimesh✨ Email: nims@nimesh-radia.com✨ Website: https://nimesh-radia.com✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nimesh.radia✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nimesh.radia✨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nimesh-radia✨ Book a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/30min✨ Book an Akashic Record Reading: https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/akashic-record-reading✨ Spiritual Journey Membership: https://nimesh-radia.com/spiritual-membership/✨ Spiritual MentorshipMy 14-week Spiritual Mentorship is currently available for the price of 12 weeks and includes Akashic Record Training.

Holding space is one of the most powerful things we can do for another person, but it is also one of the easiest places to lose ourselves.In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore what it really means to hold space without trying to fix, rescue, or carry someone else's story. They talk about the difference between supporting and controlling, the emotional weight of caring deeply, and why balance, boundaries, and self-awareness matter so much during times of personal and planetary change.Together, they reflect on empathy, pain, self-care, and spiritual growth, sharing openly about how challenging it can be to support others when you are moving through your own shifts.

Growth changes everything, including the roles people play in your life.In this honest and expansive conversation, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore what happens when your healing journey shifts your relationships, your soul contracts, and your sense of belonging. As your vibration changes, the people around you often respond differently. Some relationships deepen. Others drift.

Nims and Stacey speak about authenticity, intuition, collaboration, and the courage it takes to create space for new connections without guilt or resentment.If you have been feeling the shift in your relationships, questioning who is aligned for this next chapter, or noticing that your circle is changing as you evolve, this conversation will help you trust what your soul already knows.Key Themes✨ Growth and its impact on relationships✨ Soul contracts and changing relationship dynamics✨ Authenticity, intuition, and energetic alignment✨ Creating space for new relationships and soul family✨ Moving from ego and isolation into collaboration and communityTakeaways✨ As you grow, your relationships naturally evolve✨ Not everyone is meant to walk with you forever✨ Your intuition will tell you which connections feel aligned✨ Creating space often invites healthier relationships in✨ You only have to be responsible for yourself✨ Authenticity helps the right people find youSound Bites✨ You only have to be responsible for yourself.✨ Trust your intuition and go deep.✨ If you love something, let it go.Also available to watch on YouTube.If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcast.Spiritual Journey MembershipA supportive spiritual community for deeper connection, regular energy updates, live calls, and a safe space to grow as you move through change.Join here: https://nimesh-radia.com/spiritual-membership/Mentorship - Special OfferSign up for Spiritual Mentorship by the end of March and receive Akashic Records Training included free as part of the journey.Book a Discovery Call here:https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/30minUpcoming EventFull Moon WebinarWednesday 1 AprilA live Zoom space for healing, reflection, energetic updates, guided meditation, and Akashic messages with Nims and Stacey.Register here:https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/TkKoXs_AQse8h5j9NuPFTgSoul Spa Retreat5–8 June 2026A sacred in-person retreat experience in Glastonbury for healing, rest, connection, and deeper spiritual alignment.Details here:https://nimesh-radia.com/spring-equinox-soul-spa-retreat/Connect with Nimesh

WelcomeHello and welcome to this week's episode of The Calling, Follow Your Spirit All the Way In. I'm your host Homaya. Join me in this journey of self awareness, soul frequencies, and spiritual revelations.Episode SummaryToday I am with Mikasa, a dear light worker, friend, colleague, and also my mentee. Together we share our common light and our co creation, and the way it became an inspiration and activation that can impact so many of you.We speak about mastery as depth, humbleness as openness, and what it really means to relax into the truth. Mikasa shares what shifted when she stopped trying to convince and started matching her frequency, and how alignment created rapid transformation in her capacity, her community, and her results.We also explore what a mentor sees beyond words, and how that reflection can help you recognise what you already carry, even when you are not yet willing to see it.Key TakeawaysTransformation is not linear. Resistance and surrender can coexist until a new truth becomes available.Mastery is depth. Returning to teachings is not repetition, it is an invitation into new layers and dimensions.Humbleness is not making yourself small. It is openness, curiosity, and being an empty vessel to receive.Resting is not doing nothing. It is resting into your knowing, your frequency, and your unique way of leading.When consciousness shifts, reality follows. Alignment creates change that can be rapid, tangible, and surprising.Your power does not push people away. When you own it, it activates others.Receiving support while being successful expands your capacity to serve.Resources & LinksConnect with Mikasa: Add link(s) hereThank you for listening and being part of this conversation.

Healing does not begin the moment you want change. It begins the moment you are willing to become someone new.In this honest and deeply reflective conversation, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore why so many people stay stuck even when they genuinely want to heal. They speak about the strange in-between space so many of us are living in right now — where the old world no longer fits, but the new version of ourselves is still emerging.Together, they unpack the difference between being truly stuck and being in a phase of preparation. They explore how trauma, fear, familiarity, and expectations can quietly keep us in cycles that no longer serve us, even when part of us knows it is time for something different.This episode is a reminder that awareness alone is not enough. Healing asks for honesty. Healing asks for action. Healing asks us to let go of who we thought we were going to be and trust who we are becoming.If you have been feeling restless, uncertain, emotionally stretched, or caught between wanting to move forward and not knowing how, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Key Themes✨ Why people stay stuck even when they want to heal✨ The liminal space between the old self and the new✨ Trauma, familiarity, and resistance to change✨ Awareness versus action on the healing journey✨ Small courageous steps that support transformationTakeaways✨ Wanting to heal and being willing to change are not the same thing✨ Familiar discomfort can keep you stuck longer than you realise✨ Awareness is powerful, but action is what creates change✨ You do not need the full plan to begin moving forward✨ Sharing your journey can become part of someone else's healingSound Bites✨ Why do we stay stuck even when we want to heal?✨ Awareness on its own is not enough.✨ Healing begins when you are willing to become someone new.Also available to watch on YouTube.If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcast.Spiritual Journey MembershipA safe and supportive space for spiritual growth, connection, energy updates, and deeper conversations as you move through change.Join here:https://nimesh-radia.com/spiritual-membership/Special OfferSign up for Spiritual Mentorship by the end of March and receive Akashic Training included free as part of the journey.Book a Discovery Call here:https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/30minUpcoming Event

Some decisions set you free. Others blow your life open before you understand why.In this honest and deeply reflective conversation, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore the fine line between true growth and self-sabotage. What happens when you feel the urge to end something, walk away, make a drastic move, or burn it all down? Is it your intuition guiding you forward, or is it pain reacting?Together, they unpack the emotional patterns behind abrupt decisions, the pressure created by expectations, and the importance of pausing long enough to understand what is really driving your choices.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it really means to be “in the commitment business.”I share some stories about yoga classes, Spiritual Mentoring, and my Sweetie's life as a professional musician to illustrate the difference between being committed to the idea of change -vs- taking the gosh-dang consistent actions that actually create it!We'll look at human nature, the psychology of commitment, and how places like Planet Fitness - and personal items, like unused guitars, and dusty yoga mats - reveal what we're committed to (or not). Ha!I also invite you to take an honest look at your life and ask, “What am I committed to this year?”, so you can align your time, energy, and resources with what truly matters most.You'll hear one of my favorite quotes about commitment (it's a good one!), learn why I always say, “The Universe can't get behind wishy-washy”…And we get to consider the magical notion that when we fully commit - Providence often opens unforeseen doors, and provides people, support, and opportunities that we never could have planned for or dreamed of. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's has been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how important it is to think for yourself - especially in the age of influencers, grifters, and bro-science “experts” - including those being revealed in the Epstein files.I share a little modern-day PSA about being on the lookout for online scams, shady spiritual teachers, coaching programs with “culty” vibes, and podcasters who try to sell us an image, rather than the truth.I add in a favorite Bruce Lee quote about how a “good teacher protects you from their own influence” and will do their best to keep pointing you back to your own Inner Teacher, intuition, discernment, and critical thinking!You'll hear why we've gotta' trust our gut, notice the red flags, and stop giving our power away just because someone is good at marketing, has a wicked big platform, or has published a bestselling book.My hope is that this episode encourages you to unfollow what feels off, ask better questions, and surround yourself with a few trusted people who will lovingly point out your blind spotsMost of all, I want you to remember that you already have an internal guidance system that's pretty damn smart… and it's OK - when we learn new information - to say, “I made a mistake. I was wrong,” then course-correct, and choose better for yourself going forward. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's has been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it feels like to be alive in a world that seems like it's on fire - the grief, fear, anger, overwhelm and helplessness so many people are carrying.I connect the dots between abusive power and how those in power benefit from keeping us exhausted, distracted, and in despair.I also remind us that “they've always killed the helpers” - from Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. to the modern-day helpers in the streets - and why that makes our presence and courage even more necessary, not less.We talk about nervous system regulation, breathing practices, EFT / Tapping, “rest as resistance”, spiritual practices, and Stoic principles like focusing on what is and isn't in our control.I share practical tools for resourcing ourselves so we can be effective helpers instead of burned-out bystanders and I walk through simple ways to calm your body and mind - so you're not operating from fear, but from a more grounded, loving, and powerful place.I wrap things up by inviting you to honestly explore your role and capacity: Are you an ally, an advocate, or an activist? Are you a citizen, reformer, rebel, or change agent?Mostly, I encourage you to ask yourself about your unique talents, experience, and gifts and how they might be used for good right now - “What can I actually do with who I am,, what I know, and what I have?”Whether that's speaking up, donating, organizing, making phone calls, creating art, caring for your neighbors, or quietly holding space.At the heart of it all is a spiritual call: “Please use me. May I be in service to love.” ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how our actions are the true voice of our heart.I share some real-life stories about human kindness, integrity, character, and choosing to do the right thing.Like the stranger who owned up to dinging my car, and the “dressing room angel” who helped me get ready for a funeral during an extra hard week, and my old childhood friend who remembered me as the kid who always shared her snacks!Together, we look at how our everyday actions reveal way more about the content of our character, than any fancy-schmancy spiritual talk ever could.The big takeaway and reminder from this episode for me - is that we all have countless chances every day to “do the right thing, right now”.So, I invite us all to listen to our Inner Teacher - that gentle voice of the heart - and let our behaviors and choices reflect who we truly are. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster, and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a speaker, workshop + retreat leader, and a Certified Gateless Writing Instructor.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I share about what's made the start of 2026 so emotionally rough for me - from personal grief and loss to witnessing yet another brutal act of violence in our country.I also talk about the inspiring Buddhist monks who are walking 2,300 miles from Texas to D.C. with their dog, Aloka on their Walk for Peace.I explore why their peaceful presence keeps moving me to tears, and how their embodied example of non-violence and resilience is giving so many of us hope.If you've been feeling heartbroken, angry, or hopeless about the state of the world, this is an invitation to remember that every day we can choose to be a living, breathing, loving alternative to the cruelty and chaos around us.My hope is that this episode helps you remember that you are the loving, peaceful presence you're longing for - and that every moment you choose peace - you help create more peace in the world. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we're discussing something that so many people struggle with - Asking for help.I'm sharing a powerful passage from Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" that totally changed my perspective.He basically wrote that we shouldn't be ashamed to need support - just like a soldier who's been wounded might need a comrade to lend a helping hand.Growing up in a blue-collar family, I learned early on that asking for help seemed like weakness.But here's a truth: We're not born knowing how to do every single thing! Remember when we were babies and little kids? We needed help with EVERYTHING - from tying our shoes to brushing our teeth to making a sandwich!So why do we suddenly think that we should know how to handle all of life's complex challenges all by ourselves?I share how trauma and tough upbringings can make us behave in hyper-independent ways – where we hate to ask for ask and definitely don't want to feel like we're “bothering” people.We can also develop this kind of shield that says, "I've got this," when sometimes, we really don't.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I'm diving into why we shouldn't be "parrots" – just mindlessly repeating the things we're told, the words we read, or what we hear in our environment - without thinking for ourselves. Drawing from some personal stories about actual parrots and my experiences working with author Marianne Williamson, I share how important it is to develop your own unique voice and point-of-view.I discuss how we often unconsciously repeat sayings and stories from our childhood, family of origin, or the media, without ever even questioning them.Whether it's religious dogma, political views, or random so called "facts" we've heard online, I invite people to do their homework, to dig deeper, to spend some time with yourself, and figure out what you truly think, feel, and believe.The world doesn't need another “carbon copy” of what's already out there - it needs YOU! Your unique experiences, insights, and one-of-a-kind perspectives are invaluable.So, I encourage us all to be curious, ask questions, challenge inherited narratives, and have the courage to speak our authentic truth, even if it means standing out from the familiar crowd.My hope is to inspire you to be the first ever version of yourself, not a watered-down replica of somebody else.Whether you're dealing with old family stories, professional expectations, or societal pressures, remember: your individual voice matters.So, let's stop parroting and start exploring what YOU really think and feel!KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:•​ Don't mindlessly repeat beliefs without understanding their true origin.•​ Question everything you've been taught, especially childhood-inherited narratives.•​ Your unique perspective is valuable.•​ Research deeply and gather your own empirical evidence.•​ The world needs your authentic voice, not some watered-down version of somebody else.•​ Be courageous enough to develop and share your original thoughts.•​ Verify sources and information before repeating what you've read or heard.•​ Your individual experiences create a perspective that no one else has.•​ Continuously learn, grow, and refine your understanding of the greater world.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into something we all might bump-up against: those little "death wish" moments in our lives where we're not taking the best care of ourselves. It all started with a crazy motorcycle ride I witnessed on 93 North, where this kid was weaving in and out of traffic at 120 miles an hour - totally reckless and dangerous! That got me thinking about how we all have our own versions of the ol' "death wish.” Maybe it's ignoring medical advice, continuing unhealthy habits, or not prioritizing our physical and mental well-being. I'm talking about those choices we make that deep down we know aren't serving us.Things like not managing chronic conditions, skipping out on exercise, eating like crap, not getting enough rest, or creating unnecessary financial stress. The real heartbeat of this episode is about having self-awareness and then breaking those patterns.We know that our brains love familiar territory, which is why changing habits can feel so tough. But here's the deal: we have more control than we think!By understanding how our neural pathways work and making small, consistent changes, over time - we can actually rewire our brain and create healthier habits. Pretty cool, right?So, this is an invitation to hit pause and to take a look at the different buckets in your life. Where are you playing it kinda' loose? What small choices are you making now that might make a big impact on your long-term health and happiness down the road? What buckets/areas could use a little bit more of your positive attention?This isn't about judgment - it's about being curious and loving yourself enough to make better choices. Remember, every tiny step counts, and you are totally worth the effort! xoKK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Our daily choices can slowly impact our long-term health.• Reckless behavior isn't always dramatic, but even subtle stuff can be dangerous.• The brain naturally prefers familiar patterns.• Small, consistent actions can create new neural pathways in the brain over time.• Self-awareness is the first step to making those meaningful changes.• Resistance is a normal part of the human experience.• Our health involves different buckets - mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.• Your personal development work affects more than just you.• Compassionate self-reflection is more powerful than harsh self-criticism.• Prioritizing self-care is an act of love.• The Nest - Group Mentoring ProgramBIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we're diving into one of my favorite concepts from Anne Lamott's best-selling book, Bird by Bird.This simple, but life-changing strategy has been wicked helpful not only for me, but for my mentoring clients, too!It's one of the key ways that I've learned to approach and tackle overwhelming to-do lists without totally losing my mind. The core idea comes from a story that Anne wrote of in her book about a challenge her brother was facing as a kid, and how her father encouraged him with these now infamous words, “Bird by bird, buddy.”I share how this concept can be a total game-changer for you too, especially when you're facing an intimidating project – which can be anything from cleaning out a newly deceased parent's house to helping your kid apply to college, or learning a new skill or trying to start a podcast, etc.Whether you're an entrepreneur struggling with some fancy fandangled tech stuff or someone feeling frozen in their tracks by a complex task, the "Bird by Bird" method is your secret weapon against overwhelm and procrastination.The key is to stop looking at the entire mountain of work ahead and instead to simply focus on just the next teeny-tiny step you can take.Print out that PDF form, open the website, take a deep breath, type one sentence, do just one small thing to get you moving forward and gaining momentum.I'm all about keeping our nervous system calm and not letting fear and anxiety hijack our progress.Sometimes that means we've gotta' break things down to the absolute smallest action or even calling in help from someone who finds that “daunting to you” task easy.My biggest takeaway?We're capable of so much more when we're not in fight-or-flight mode. So please don't beat yourself up or get stuck in a shame spiral, and remember: you can handle anything by taking it “bird by bird.”KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Breaking big projects into tiny steps helps reduce overwhelm.• Try to focus on one small task at a time.• Avoid time traveling / future-tripping.• Your nervous system might respond better to incremental progress.• Ask for help from a smarty-pants when a task feels too complicated.• Don't shame yourself when you're feeling stuck or frustrated.• Most overwhelming projects become manageable when approached step-by-step.• Recognize when you're entering a habitual stress response and hit pause.• Remember that many tasks seem harder in anticipation than in execution.• Repeat the mantra "Bird by Bird" when feeling overwhelmed.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we talk about the true meaning behind my "Stop Playing Dumb" t-shirt and its powerful message!Spoiler alert: it's not about politics or social issues, but about recognizing and remembering your true spiritual nature. I dive into how we often suffer because we get stuck in over identifying with our bodies, our past mistakes, and perceived limitations.But the thing is: you're not just a "meat puppet", some ol' bag of bones with a long list of screwups. You are a gosh-dang child of God, a part of the indivisible Universe, an extension of the Divine, and Love incarnate!My mission with this episode?To help you to “stop playing dumb” about who and what you really are.One of the biggest reasons we resist owning our power is fear.Sometimes we're afraid that if we actually accept how awesome we are, we'll then be shit-out-of excuses for not finally doing “the thing”!Whether that thing is pursuing your dreams, writing that book, asking for help, leaving a bad relationship, speaking your truth, forgiving yourself, or (fill in the blank).Part of recognizing our true nature means that we're willing to take responsibility for our own internal experience.My invitation to you is simple: let's begin by putting on our "big people pants"

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.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, ​w​e dive into a question that​ I wish was on more people's mind​s: Why do we do the things we do? I kick things off with a story about a family's Easter tradition - where generations ​of women kept ​d​oing the same damn thing - simply because that's how it had always been done, ​because no one question​ed the original reason. This got me thinking about how we inherit ​certain beliefs, habits, ​stories, and ways of doing things from our families, ​the culture, and ​our childhood experiences. Whether it's politics, religion, relationships, or daily routines, we often follow patterns without ever stopping to ask, "Does this actually make sense ​to me and for me right now?" It's like we're ​sometimes running on autopilot, repeating ​those inherited scripts without checking if they still serve us.​You know me, I'm all about encouraging ​p​eople (including myself) to become curious investigators of their own lives. Are you following ​all the rules blindly, or are you willing to ask​ "​Why"?​ Why do I do this, say this, think this, believe this? Just because something worked in the past doesn't mean it's ​still the best approach ​for us now. Our lives are constantly evolving, and our strategies​, systems, and stories should evolve with them. ​O​ne of my big takeaway​s? ​We have to challenge our own assumptions​ and be willing to question our beliefs, habits, and automatic​ responses.Whether it's in ​our relationships, ​our work, or ​our personal growth, staying curious and open ​to new ways of seeing, thinking, doing and being can help ​u​s break free from outdated patterns and create more intentional ​and meaningful ways of living.Remember, you're not bound by how things have always been done - you have the power​and the right to choose a different path​! KEY TAKEAWAYS:​•​ We've got to question inherited traditions and family belief systems​.• ​We must challenge why ​w​e do ​the things ​we do without thinking​.• ​It helps to pause and reflect before automatically following ​the rules​.• ​Our personal growth requires ​that we challeng​e our current thought patterns​• ​Have fun experiment​ing with new approaches to old problems​.• Curiosity is the key to ​new and lasting personal transformation​.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into a topic that might make some folks squirm: Sometimes, the problem really is YOU.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I dive deep into a message I'm calling, "It's Not You."This episode is a little love letter to all the creatives, entrepreneurs, and sensitive souls out there who sometimes feel discouraged when their work doesn't seem to land. Using my Sweetie's music career as an example, I share how the same incredibly talented musician can get standing ovations in one venue, and be completely ignored in another. The key? It's all about the right audience, the right place, and the right time. Just because people aren't responding the way we wish, it doesn't mean our work isn't valuable - it might just mean we haven't found our people, yet!I also talk about how easy it is to turn it all on yourself and start beating yourself up when you're not experiencing the outcomes you had hoped for.But here's the truth: your worth isn't determined by likes, sales, or applause. Sometimes you're just sharing your gifts with the wrong crowd, and that's okay. The world still needs your unique voice, even if it takes time to find the enthusiastic listeners who truly appreciate it. My biggest takeaways? Be gentle with yourself and surround yourself with your "Balcony People" – those supportive humans who see you, get you, celebrate you, lift you up, and encourage you!Also, be wicked careful about who you share your vulnerable creative work with, and always remember that your calling is bigger than any single moment of rejection. Keep creating, keep showing up, and trust that your right audience will find you. I'm cheering you on! xo KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Your worth isn't defined by other people's reactions.• The right people and place make a really big difference.• Don't “cast your pearls” before people who don't or can't get it.• Creativity thrives with supportive, loving listeners.• Keep creating, even when response feels discouraging. • Find your “Balcony People” who genuinely celebrate you and your work.• You have an “individual Curriculum”.• Your art is valuable, regardless of immediate recognition.• The Nest - Group Mentoring ProgramBIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into a concept That I call, "Head, Heart, Hands" – which is a powerful approach to personal transformation that flips how we typically try to change our lives. Instead of white-knuckling our way through external behavior changes, I explain why it's crucial to start with the internal landscape of our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and stories.Drawing from my own journey and some wisdom from spiritual smarty-pants like Paramahansa Yogananda, I share how real, lasting change happens when we align our mind and heart first!Think of it like this: if your head and heart are truly on board with a change, your hands (aka: your actions) are way more likely to naturally follow. So, it's not about forcing yourself to stop doing something, but more like shifting your internal perspective - so gradually, but inevitably, the old behavior just doesn't make sense anymore. I talk about how our ego mind loves to keep us in those old familiar patterns, while also crafting stories of guilt, shame, and limitation. But here's the truth: Who you really are is not broken and doesn't need to be fixed. What we need is to unlearn some of the survival strategies that no longer serve us, and also take time to tune into that quieter, loving voice inside us that knows our true potential. If you're feeling stuck trying to change something in your life - whether it's a health habit, a relationship pattern, or a professional goal - this episode offers a helpful way of approaching things. Start by getting curious about your inner world.Ask yourself, “What thoughts are driving my current behavior? What beliefs are holding me back? What stories have I been telling about myself? What identity am I willing to let go?”Remember, “the assignment is alignment” and when your head and heart believe in the change you want to make, your hands will take action to make it happen! KEY TAKEAWAYS:​• Change your thoughts first, your behaviors will naturally follow.•​ “The assignment is alignment.”• Internal alignment matters more than external willpower.•​ Spiritual growth happens when our heads and hearts connect.• Love transforms things quietly; ego/fear maintains old patterns loudly.• Unlearning limiting beliefs can unlock our true potential.• Our identity shapes our actions, even more powerfully than pure discipline.• The Nest - Group Mentoring ProgramBIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into a powerful parable about “lifeboats” and how we often miss the help that's right in front of us. I share an old story about a guy who refuses to be rescued during a flood, because he keeps waiting for God to save him.Only to later discover that help came to him multiple times in multiple forms, but he simply refused to see it or accept it. The big lessons here?Sometimes we get so stuck in our own ways of thinking - that we miss incredible opportunities for growth, change and support. I talk about how we limit ourselves by expecting help and helpers to look a certain way - whether that's from a specific type of person, professional, program, or process. We can block our own healing by being stubborn and narrow-minded and insisting that things look a certain way.I explain how my approach as a Spiritual Mentor isn't about "fixing" people (cause' they're not broken) - but rather that I integrate tools and techniques that support your Mind, Body, and Spirit to create real, sustainable transformations. My bottom line: Stay curious and open. The universe sends help in wild and unexpected ways - through a random text, a book that falls off a shelf, or a conversation with someone you'd least expect. We don't want to get so caught up in our own stories that we miss our rescue boat.Sometimes the lifeboat is right in front of you, and all you need to do is climb aboard!KEY TAKEAWAYS:​•​ Help can come in unexpected forms.• Be open to receiving it differently than you imagined.•​ Internal wisdom is just as important as external guidance.•​ Getting stuck in old patterns and beliefs.• Spiritual Mentorship is not about “fixing” you.• Providing new tools and shifting perspectives.• You've gotta' be “Open for Business”.•​ Healing is holistic – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.• We're all potential “lifeboats” for each other.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

In this episode of the Creative Genius podcast, I interview Rebe Huntman about her debut memoir, "My Mother in Havana, a memoir of magic and miracle." Rebe shares her personal story of losing her mother at a young age and the subsequent decades of feeling disconnected from her memory. Driven by a deep longing and intuition, Rebe embarked on a 30-day DIY pilgrimage to Cuba to seek a different perspective on grief and connection. The conversation delves into how Rebe's background as a Latin dancer led her to discover the spiritual roots of Cuban dances and the traditions of honoring the deceased.  Rebe recounts her experiences immersing herself in rituals dedicated to the goddess Oshun, visiting the sanctuary of Cuba's patron saint, and meeting with a spiritist who she hoped would connect her with her mother.Rebe and I discuss the importance of intuition and following one's unique path, even when it doesn't seem logical. We also explore the disconnect in Western culture from ancestral connections, magic, and meaningful rituals, contrasting it with the Cuban traditions of keeping the dead close.The conversation touches on the challenges of staying creative and connected to one's inner voice in the face of overwhelming global issues and personal fears. Rebe shares her belief in creativity as a portal and emphasizes the importance of honouring inner longings and choosing to champion humanity. She also shares her personal rituals for grounding and connecting with her intuition and ancestors, offering practical advice for listeners seeking to do the same. Ultimately, Rebe's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the wisdom of intuition, and the potential for magic and miracle in our lives, even in the darkest of times.  

In this episode, we talk about spiritual mentorship and being formed in Jesus. We reflect on the spiritual mentors who have journeyed with us and share stories about the lessons that have shaped who we are today.  We also talk about why comparison crushes our ability to receive, our calling to make disciples of all nations, and how the daily witness of our lives is an answer to this call.   Heather's One Thing - Fix You (Live from the O2 Arena) by Jacob Collier and Chris Martin Sister Miriam's One Thing - Dr. Christin McIntyre on the Restore the Glory Podcast and her lectures on Thomistic Psychology (Part 1) (Part 2) Michelle's One Thing - Dr. Mary Lou and Chris O'Grady and letting us use their beach home   Announcement: Join us for our Lenten Study beginning March 5th, 2025 as we journey through “Jesus and the Jubilee: The Biblical Roots of the Year of God's Favor“ by Dr. John Bergsma.
