LIFE IS NOT THE INTERNET

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how the internet has trained ​so many people to believe that every thought ​they have deserves a comment, ​their ​opinion, or a post​...And why that ​shit doesn’t ​really fly in real life.I ​t​ell a ​couple of stories about unsolicited opinions (​given both online and in person)​ and the emotional impact they can have​ on the receivers.I​ also share how ​you can start using ​your voice more thoughtfully​ by revisiting the “three gates” of communication​!These questions are simple, yet powerful:Is it true​?Is it kind​?Is it necessary​?​And when put to good use, these suckers can save us all a lot of unnecessary suffering.So, here's my invitation to you ​(and reminder to myself) to pause before you speak, type, ​send, or hit publish​!​Together, let's explore turning off the “comment section” in certain conversations, standing up against cruelty, and choosing to use our words as a force for good, ​both on and off the internet.​ ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, 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 change work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using a variety of practical tools, personal stories, and universal principles.She's been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, the creator of WRITE CLUB , and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1-to-1 program: THE QUEST and in her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.
