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.” ❤️
