Stop Apologizing For The Woo

Have you ever heard the statement, “I'm about to go all ‘woo, woo’ on you”?

I was thinking to myself the other day, “Why does everybody feel the need to apologize for the “woo”?” Why do people lead with a warning, like; “OK, so I'm about to go all ‘woo’, on you” as if all the adults in the room need to prepare themselves or perhaps they couldn't handle it.

It’s as if we have some sort of fear that others will not take us seriously (as a leader or a business person or whatever) or that we’ll be judged for trusting our intuition, discussing spirituality or leading with love.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re looking at the reasons why we should stop saying sorry for opening up spiritually with others. When we apologize or give them a warning for what we’re about to say, we’re sending out a signal that people should somehow be ashamed and uncomfortable about their spirituality and personal growth.

The thing is, we’re all children of God/Universe and we all have intuition & gut feelings, etc. - that makes us spiritual beings that are an extension of the loving Divine. We are Spirit having a human experience. Our whole life is our spiritual life and as I jokingly say, “It’s not “woo-woo, it’s true-true.” Ha! So maybe it’s time to stop apologizing for it, start embracing it and share it openly with the world.
