Think about it, \u201cHow many times have you said something like, \u201cWell, one part of me wants to do this, but another part of me doesn\u2019t.\u201d\n\nAnd not all of our \u201cparts\u201d are on the super sunny side. But because we fear getting judged, abandoned or rejected by others, we don\u2019t want people to see our \u201cdark\u201d side or what we fear will make us look like a \u201cbad person\u201d or seem unlovable.\n\nSometimes, these efforts to deny our \u201cdarkness\u201d have us turning into people pleasers who end up contorting ourselves into whoever or whatever it is we think others want. We abandon parts of ourselves in order to try and \u201cfit in\u201d.\n\nToday on The Karen Kenney Show, we\u2019re talking about accepting and acknowledging that we all are made up of both innately good parts and some ego personality parts that could maybe use a little work. Ha!\n\nIn order to heal, it helps to not deny those parts of ourselves that could probably use a little more compassion and understanding. It\u2019s time to welcome all parts of us to the party and learn to love ourselves as a whole.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
