In this powerful episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we dive into the heart of Proverbs 5 with a hilarious, heartfelt, and practical story that starts with one line: “Go blow your nose!” Yes, you read that right.
Kelly shares a vivid early-morning memory that turns into a life lesson 40 years in the making—thanks to his big brother Rob, a human drill sergeant with a nose for nonsense (literally). What begins as a moment of sniffles turns into a full-blown (pun intended) lesson in wisdom, dignity, discipline, and the small but mighty concept of Inch Stones.
Coined by Kelly, Inch Stones are the overlooked micro-moments that build a life of meaning, purpose, and alignment. They’re the steps between the milestones—the whispers of wisdom that show up at 5:45 AM when you’re walking your dogs and suddenly hear your brother yelling in your head.
In this episode, Kelly unpacks Proverbs 5 like a street-smart scholar, blending Biblical wisdom with cultural wit. You’ll hear truths like:
“If it’s silly, stay far from it.”
“Discipline is faith, hope, and wisdom applied.”
“Stop sniffing and blow your nose.”
And don’t worry, we didn’t forget the classic Kelly humor—because wisdom doesn’t have to be boring.
🎧 Tap play and let this episode help you clear out the foolishness and breathe in some clarity.
