So, if the analytical mind gets a whiff of something familiar, the ego doesn\u2019t like to leave room for any new information.\n\nIt\u2019s in these moments of \u201cI know\u201d, that we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to learn, to be curious, to make new discoveries and to expand. Not only that, we also sometimes rob ourselves of the possibility to change our mind. \n\nToday on The Karen Kenney Show, we\u2019re talking about the difference between \u201cI understand\u201d and \u201cI know\u201d and the problems that can arise from the latter.\n\nThere's also something really beautiful and powerful about showing up in the innocence of \u201cI don't know\u201d. It\u2019s the space where wisdom, insight, inspiration and expansion can happen. \n\nThe knowledge we gain in transforming ourselves, our life, our thoughts, and healing our suffering, starts with our willingness to learn. We must strip away what we think we already know and come with an empty mind, so that new information, going deeper and true healing becomes possible.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
