Shownotes

As a Spiritual Mentor, I often jokingly say that, “This being human is an ongoing problem.”

Funny things about humans though, we often don’t make the connection between human problems and spiritual solutions.

When we’re facing human sadness, fear, loneliness, grief, heartbreak, trauma, overwhelm, anxiety, disconnection, and the thousand and one other ways that humans can suffer and cause suffering…

It doesn’t usually occur to many of us that our fecked’ up situations can’t be solved by the same ego-strategies and thought systems that got us into the fecked’ up mess in the first place.

We somehow don’t connect the dots to finding strength, support, and solutions through spiritual work, tools and practices.

In fact, if you had told the much younger version of myself that being willing to say a prayer would solve my human conflict, I’m not sure I would have believed you.

Until one day 27+ years ago, I had an experience with my friend and mentor, Marianne Williamson that changed my life forever.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about how we sometimes overlook Spiritual practices and mentoring as a solution because it either never occurred to us before, or we have these different ideas about what we think spiritual work is and how it may or may not help us when we’re suffering.

However, as I often tell my clients and members, suffering is a wicked good teacher until you get a better one.

Are you ready for a better one?
