  STEVEN PRESSFIELD: ON RESISTANCE, SELF-DISCIPLINE, AND SELF-REINFORCEMENT

  Aug 20, 202656 minS1

  My guest today is legendary, bestselling author Steven Pressfield, who's known for his work on creativity, self-discipline, and how to overcome the inner force of what he calls, "capital R" - Resistance. He’s written 25 books including the wildly popular - The War of Art, Turning Pro, Do The Work, and Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be - which have influenced tons of successful writers, thinkers, artists and entrepreneurs - including Ryan Holiday and Rich Roll. Steven wrote for 27 years before his first novel The Legend of Bagger Vance got published and made into a Robert Redford film starring Matt Damon and Will Smith. He’s also written a memoir Gov Cheese and many historical novels like, A Man at Arms, Gates of Fire, and his latest, The Arcadian! I’ve been reading and recommending his work for years, so to have him on the show felt like such a full-circle, meant-to-be moment! Here’s some of what Steven and I dive into in this episode: Resistance (with a capital R): That invisible, diabolical force that shows up every time you try to write the book, record the podcast, go to the gym, leave the job, or step toward your calling. “Resistance will kill you”: Steven shares why not following your creative or spiritual calling doesn’t just make you uncomfortable… it can slowly kill your spirit, your self‑trust, and your life-force. Self‑​Discipline & ​Ritual: We talk about why discipline gets such a bad rap, how it actually becomes an act of self‑love, and what it looks like in real life to “put your ass where your heart wants to be.” Art as a Spiritual Practice: Steve and I dig into the idea that we’re spiritual beings in a messy, beautiful, often painful world – and how making art (in any form) is one of the most powerful ways we can respond to and answer that. His new book, The Arcadian: He shares the 40‑year journey behind this story, karma, warriors, and what it costs a soul to live a life of violence… and try to find redemption. I also share a bit about my own writing journey with my memoir, and how bumping up against Resistance has pushed me deeper into my spiritual practice and creative life. This episode is for you if: You’re a writer, artist, entrepreneur, or big-hearted human with a dream You keep saying, “I’ll start tomorrow” (and tomorrow never quite seems to come) You feel called to something more, but resistance, fear, and self‑doubt keep tripping you up If that’s you, I think this conversation will feel like both a loving hug and a gentle kick in the pants. ❤️ CONNECT WITH STEVEN: Website Books Sarsaparilla Media Writing Wednesdays Resistance Reset (A Course) YouTube Instagram Facebook X TikTok KAREN KENNEY BIO: Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.

  SPIRITUAL ROAD MAPS

  Aug 13, 202629 minS1

  On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what I call spiritual roadmaps - those​inner ​"TripTiks" that help us ​to move from where we are ​-to​- where we really want to be​. I share a​ story about driving cross-country with ​one of those old-school, highlighted, AAA paper maps and how that kind of customized route is wicked similar to spiritual mentoring, coaching, and doing your own inner work. We dive into why ​reading more books, ​listening to another podcast, and ​buying another course ​(aka: just gathering more information) isn’t enough ​to create change - especially if you're not willing to apply what you’ve learned!​ ​I also share why no ​mentor, coach, therapist, or partner can “drive the ​feckin’ car” for you​.​ I ​mention A Course in Miracles, nervous system resilience, and personal responsibility - plus, why you’ve got to want the change more than anyone else in the room​! If you’re tired of feeling stuck ​over there on “Suffer Island”​... ​And you find yourself always ​saying you want change​, but ​then avoid ​doing what you need to do to chang​e , ​then this episode is ​a loving nudge just for you! ❤️ KAREN KENNEY BIO: Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.

  COME TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS

  Aug 6, 202621 minS1

  On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about why it’s so important to come to your own conclusions - instead of blindly believing what the so-called social media influencers, armchair experts, critics, or even your loved ones say. I share a fun story about going to see Christopher Nolan’s new movie The Odyssey, and how the internet lost its mind with opinions about it. From there, I dive into the dangers of online influencers running rackets (like the “trad wife movement”), the sneaky ways people profit off of your self-doubt, and how easy it is to give your power away when you don’t slow down and think for yourself. We get into: Why other people’s opinions are not your truth How to gather your own evidence and trust your inner teacher The role of bias, comfort, and “gut instinct” in your decisions Why it’s OK (and smart!) to change your mind as you learn and grow How to stop blindly following the masses (especially when the “M” is silent) If you’ve been getting sucked into other people’s stories, social media “trends”, or influencer nonsense, this episode is your loving reminder to pump the brakes, think critically, and reclaim your own authority in your life. ❤️ KAREN KENNEY BIO: Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.

  EXPANDING THE TOOLS IN YOUR TOOLKIT

  Jul 30, 202630 minS1

  On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what happens when we walk through life with only one “tool”. Which is usually our default reactions like - anger, shutting down, the silent treatment, judgment, or trying to fix everyone but our damn selves – and how that keeps our world and our relationships wicked small. I tell a story about my love for Swiss Army knives and Leatherman tools when I was a kid and ​use them ​as a metaphor for expanding your emotional and spiritual toolkit - ​now that we're grown-ass adults. We dive into why curiosity is such a powerful tool, how ​our old patterns can limit our ability to respond wisely, and I share some simple practices that you can start using when you feel anxious, activated, or in conflict. You’ll also learn: How “if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” shows up in your life Why a lack of curiosity can damage relationships and keep you stuck New emotional and spiritual “tools” you can add to your inner toolkit Practical ideas for communicating better and regulating your nervous system If you’re ready to move through the world with more calm, clarity, compassion, and choice , then this episode is gonna' be right up your alley!

  TALKING TO YOUNGER YOU

  Jul 23, 202650 minS1

  On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I​'m exploring ​​what it means to “ talk​ to younger you ” ​- by ​l​ooking through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and “parts work”. (#notatherapist) I also ​tell a story about a middle-of-the-night moment where I woke up ​heard myself say, “I’ve got you,” ​several times and how that ​sparked a deeper conversation about exiles, protectors (managers + firefighters), and our capital-S Self​! I ​share a little bit about the 8 C’s of Self ​a​nd Self-Leadership (like curiosity, compassion, confidence, and calm)​ and why naming and befriending your parts can be ​f​un and healing​! P​lus, I give you a couple of simple ways to start reassuring your nervous system​... from bedtime rituals to inner-child check-ins​, so you can move through the world with more self-awareness, tenderness, and love.
