Sometimes we also even do it with our genetics, where we think because a certain trait runs in the family that they will automatically pass it down to us and we won\u2019t be able to overcome it or survive it. \n\nToday on the Karen Kenney show we\u2019re talking about the stories we write about ourselves that are almost never in our favor. Stories about the places, the circumstances, the environments, that we believe play a role or dictate what is or isn\u2019t possible for us.\n\nWe unfortunately often get attached to the identity of our \u201cwoundedness\u201d. Using statements like, \u201cI'm a mess, I'm broken, I'm wounded\u201d - as ways to describe ourselves and the cause of what holds us back.\n\nWhat is wicked helpful to realize and understand is that although we\u2019re having human experiences here, which means there\u2019s probably going to be some bumps along the way - there\u2019s also, as poet John O\u2019Donohue talks about, \u201cThere is a place in you where you have never been wounded, where there's still a sureness in you, where there's a seamlessness in you, and where there is a confidence and tranquility in you.\u201d\n\nThere is a seamlessness, an unbroken and unwounded space where you remember the truth of yourself as an extension of the Divine and as one of God's kids. It is from this place that our real happiness, health, healing, wholeness, and \u201choliness\u201d lives and loves.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
