Cultivating Kindness With Karen Being strong at defending your decisions or choices is seen as a great strength of character. It may secure you a seat on the Debating Team at school, or a position as a negotiator for employment. The difficulties can arise when defending your choices becomes a common practice in your life. Doors get opened that can lead to regret, disappointment and even feelings of failure. Feeling the need to defend yourself leads you down a path that often ends in the opposite direction to where you desire to be. Being in the energy of feeling you need to defend yourself often results in you stepping out of your power and strength; not stepping into it. Join Karen Leslie, Stress Recovery Expert and Speaker, to gain a clearer understanding as to how you have been working with the energy of "defending". Learn how and when to bring this energy in so it helps you in being grounded and empowered.

Her life of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts has led her on an interesting, and at times, turbulent path to where she is today. Kindness was definitely missing in Karen’s life. Karen was always kind and compassionate to others, however she was not showing kindness to herself. Today Karen knows that kindness towards others was actually a way of avoiding her own wounds and sadness. These choices created a life of ‘people pleasing’, keeping the peace and avoiding conflict; especially if it involved having to say “No” to someone else. Karen knows now that everything we do to help ourselves from the neck up will help everything from the neck down. Karen now lives each day with enthusiasm, excitement, an openness to new adventures and a great deal of kindness towards everyone, most especially herself. www.karenleslie.ca To get more of Cultivating Kindness With Karen, be sure to visit the podcast page for replays of all her shows here: https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/podcast/cultivating-kindness-with-karen/
