THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOWING UP
On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about why simply showing up for the people you love - matters more than you might think.
I share the story of my firstever art exhibition (eeeek!), the friends who showed up to surprise me there (“We got you, Motherfucker!” 😆 ), and how that moment healed an old part of me that had gotten used to “going it alone.”
We dive into what I call your “Balcony People” - the ones who are up in the stands creating a rumpus and cheering their faces off for you - and why their presence (or absence) can leave such a mark.
I also get honest about hyper-independence, not wanting to ever feel like a burden, and how I’m still learning how to let love in.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Does it really matter if I go to the thing?”
This episode is my heartfelt reminder: Heck Yeah, it does!!!!
Your presence, your effort, your curiosity, and even your follow-up text can mean way more than you know. ❤️
