Mentors & Tormentors

Mentors can be an extremely powerful force in our lives. As the ones who’ve gone before us, whether that be because of first-hand experience or simply age, their hard-earned lessons and wisdom POV, can teach us a lot about what might be helpful for us on our own journeys.

Things would be totally different now if I didn’t have the influence of both female and a few male mentors in my life, especially after my Mom died. While I still had to do the work myself, it was helpful to know that I didn’t always have to do it all alone.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the impact of Mentors & Tormentors.

While we might definitely prefer one over the other (Ha!) - the truth is - they can both teach us valuable lessons. Sometimes we’re taught through hardship & brutality and other times we learn through kindness & compassion.

There are so many different ways this world will ask you to learn. But it really comes down to learning through either “pain or joy”. The key is to keep an open mind and have the willingness to glean what we can from each situation.
