Our internal peace of mind and happiness are extremely important to our overall well being. In order to find that for ourselves we have to stop and take the time to really look at where it is that we came from and heal the wounds of our past. The truth is it doesn’t matter how we got here, we are here and who we are because of it; belongs to us. It is a part of who we are right down to the core. The question then now must be “what are we going to do with where we came from now that we have arrived in this place today of our lives today?” How are we going to react or respond to the different scenarios we find ourselves in? Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we are taking a look at who it is we used to be and who it is we can be. It is not always an easy journey. It requires effort, work and sometimes painful steps. I wasn’t always this way myself but after years of working on healing my past wounds and  training my mind and heart how to tie into a deep connection with the Divine I find myself more available and open to living in a happier state of being. This does not mean I never take notice of the darkness in this world but because of this healing I am able to not allow myself to live in it. It is not always sunshine and rainbows every day because there is no such thing as earthly perfection but there can be a level of happiness that can be achieved every day if we are only willing to do the hard and difficult work on ourselves that is required to get there.   KK's Key TakeawaysYounger, Tortured, Traumatized, Suffering Self (8:33) I Have TO Try Everything First (13:49) I Work With Wounded Kids (22:28) You Are On Fire (29:57) It’s Not Always Easy (36:50)   Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, spiritual teacher, host of The Karen Kenney Show Podcast, founder of Fearless Flow™ Mentoring & creator of THE NEST Spiritual Membership.
