Controlled Burns

Have you ever had the urge to metaphorically strike a match and toss it at your business or some other part of your life?

Do you ever find yourself kinda’ feeling like this thing you were once passionate about, you now find boring and you feel trapped, or done or just completely over it? Whatever the reason, there's all this chatter in your head and you just don’t feel like doing it anymore.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the times in life when we get frustrated or bored or things feel out of alignment and we just want to set it all on fire.

If you've ever had the urge to burn it all to the ground just know that I totally get it. I’ve been there and I hear you, loud and clear! When that happens, you might want to hit pause, take a deep breath and a step back and put down the matches!

If this is where you are at, I’m here to let you know there’s another way. You are most likely in need of a redirect, a pivot, a change in direction, or what is known as a “controlled burn”.

Instead of setting everything in your business or relationship ablaze, perhaps you just need to let go of and burn away a small section or part that’s no longer working for you.

We can set intentional little “fires” that promote healing, create space and generate regrowth rather than total destruction!
