Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I dive deep into a message I'm calling, "It's Not You."

This episode is a little love letter to all the creatives, entrepreneurs, and sensitive souls out there who sometimes feel discouraged when their work doesn't seem to land. 

Using my Sweetie’s music career as an example, I share how the same incredibly talented musician can get standing ovations in one venue, and be completely ignored in another. 

The key? It's all about the right audience, the right place, and the right time. 

Just because people aren't responding the way we wish, it doesn't mean our work isn't valuable - it might just mean we haven't found our people, yet!

I also talk about how easy it is to turn it all on yourself and start beating yourself up when you're not experiencing the outcomes you had hoped for.

But here's the truth: your worth isn't determined by likes, sales, or applause.  

Sometimes you're just sharing your gifts with the wrong crowd, and that's okay. The world still needs your unique voice, even if it takes time to find the enthusiastic listeners who truly appreciate it. 

My biggest takeaways? 

Be gentle with yourself and surround yourself with your "Balcony People" – those supportive humans who see you, get you, celebrate you, lift you up, and encourage you!

Also, be wicked careful about who you share your vulnerable creative work with, and always remember that your calling is bigger than any single moment of rejection. 

Keep creating, keep showing up, and trust that your right audience will find you. I’m cheering you on! xo

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Your worth isn't defined by other people’s reactions.

• The right people and place make a really big difference.

• Don't “cast your pearls” before people who don't or can’t get it.

• Creativity thrives with supportive, loving listeners.

• Keep creating, even when response feels discouraging. 

• Find your “Balcony People” who genuinely celebrate you and your work.

• You have an “individual Curriculum”.

• Your art is valuable, regardless of immediate recognition.

• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program
