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. ❤️
