The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas

How Proverbs 11, Presence, and a Relationship with God Can Turn Everyday Moments into Divine ResultsDiscover how to breathe, be present, and stop being an idiot through the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 11. This faith-based episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas explores how presence, righteousness, and divine wisdom build true success, not just seasonal happiness.As the holidays approach—a time that can feel joyful for some and heavy for others—Kelly invites you to pause, inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. These simple breaths anchor you in the now, reminding you to love those in front of you and savor every second before it’s gone.From a personal revelation sparked by God’s humor (“Don’t be an idiot”) to an in-depth look at how faith becomes a profession, not a pastime, Kelly breaks down the genius behind Proverbs 11. The blueprint? Honesty. Integrity. Humility. Truth. When we pursue righteousness, we gain protection, wisdom, discernment, prosperity, and peace.Inchstones in this episode:Faith isn’t a hobby—it’s a professional practice that brings real value.Presence produces results; distraction destroys them.Proverbs 11 is the path from foolishness to divine genius.Root yourself in righteousness, lift your head toward heaven, and remember: a person who produces results is no idiot—they’re a genius in God’s eyes.

God’s timing, humor, and consistency are too perfect to miss. This episode dives deep into the divine alignment between Scripture, music, and memory—showing that you can’t make this stuff up. When songs from Maverick City Music—“Too Good to Not Believe,” “Refiner,” and “Kingdom” featuring the lyric “Do you wanna know what Heaven looks like? It’s looking like me and you”—randomly shuffled into my quiet time, it felt like heaven itself was speaking.In this powerful reflection, I share how Proverbs 10, my parents’ timeless wisdom, and a “random” playlist all collided to prove one truth: God’s consistency is undefeated. Verse after verse reminds us that righteousness brings joy, diligence beats laziness, and wisdom invites discipline. My mom used to say, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one,” and my pops would remind me, “Boy, you’re the greatest—so act accordingly.” Turns out, they were echoing what God wrote 3,000 years ago.💡 Key Takeaways from Proverbs 10:Honor your parents by listening and applying (v.1)Diligence + prudence = success (v.4–5, 26)Integrity creates security (v.9)Speaking life is an unfair advantage (v.11, 13, 18–21, 31–32)Wisdom stores up knowledge (v.14)Love is the ultimate power play (v.12)Righteousness brings joy and protection (v.28–30)This is what heaven looks like—it’s looking like me and you, refined by fire, purified by love, and strengthened by faith. God doesn’t just call us; He gives us the answers to the test. His consistency is not coincidence—it’s confirmation.✨ Watch now to experience how God speaks through timing, humor, and everyday moments.If you’ve ever doubted that God sees you, this episode will remind you: He’s too good to not believe.🙏 Thank you Mama. Thank you Pops. Thank you God. And thank you Maverick City Music for the soundtrack that heaven queued up right on time.

At 2:30 in the morning, on the hard floor of a freezing Whittier College dorm room, Kelly discovered what true friendship really looks like.His best friend Will—brother for over 41 years—rose from the comfort of his warm bed to “help.” But instead of a blanket or a pillow… Will handed Kelly a hand towel.That night became more than a funny college memory. It turned into a lesson about humility, integrity, and character—the kind that Proverbs 11 describes so perfectly.In this episode, Kelly shares how:Real friends sharpen you, not just comfort youIntegrity and humility build the foundation of lifelong relationshipsTrue generosity is rooted in doing right for the right reasonsLaughter can heal and strengthen the bond between brothersProverbs 11 shows us that doing good business and being good people are inseparableHere’s the VIBE: Friendship built on truth lasts longer than comfort built on convenience.Even a hand towel can teach you how to love better when your heart’s in the right place.So here’s the question: Who’s the “Will” in your life—and do they know how much you appreciate them?––––––This Episode Is Brought To You By…🌟 Cardenas Law Group– Protecting what matters most.🌟 Inchstones: The Vibe Within– Transform your life one Inchstone at a time.🌟 The VIBE Method™ Framework– Heart (belief system), Mind (intentions), Skills (actions).👉 Discover all exclusive partners and offers here: solo.to/kellycardenas––––––LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify––––––MORE WAYS TO VIBE WITH US📩 The VIBE Report Newsletter📘 Inchstones: The Vibe Within (Book)📘 The VIBE Method™ (Book)🌎 Official Website––––––ABOUT THE SHOWThe VIBE with Kelly Cardenas Podcast exists to transform leadership and life one Inchstone at a time.The VIBE isn’t just the energy you bring—it’s how people feel when you leave.Through the lens of The VIBE Method™—Heart (belief system), Mind (intentions), and Skills (actions)—Kelly brings humor, authenticity, and powerful storytelling to help you align who you are with how you show up in the world.––––––📲 Follow Kelly Cardenas:Instagram | LinkedIn | TikTok | Solo.to

Two of my favorite things in the world—De La Soul and God’s Word—came together today with the same exact message: check your ego.The song Ego Trippin by De La Soul might not make perfect lyrical sense, but it hits in the soul. Why? Because their music always carried this deeper truth: stop trying to be something you’re not, and just own your style. That same theme runs straight through Proverbs 27, which shows us step by step how to keep our ego in check and live with humility, gratitude, and wisdom.In this episode, we unpack how:Insecurity fuels ego, ego invites pride, and pride leads to the fallThird-party validation is far more powerful than self-praiseGood friends sharpen you and bring great returnsWisdom creates wealth, but wealth can’t create wisdomHard work brings reward, but chasing reward only leaves you emptyA calm heart is the key to weathering adversityInvesting in relationships always pays the best dividendsHere’s the VIBE: God never uses His Word to indict us, but to equip us with tools to avoid the inevitable pain that comes with pride. Both hip hop and scripture delivered the same reminder today—stop ego trippin.Because the VIBE is not just what you bring into the room… it’s how people feel when you leave.So here’s the question: Where has your ego been tripping you up, and how can Proverbs 27 guide you back to humility and wisdom this week?––––––This Episode Is Brought To You By…🌟 Cardenas Law Group– Protecting what matters most.🌟 Inchstones: The Vibe Within– Transform your life one Inchstone at a time.🌟 The VIBE Method™ Framework– Heart (belief system), Mind (intentions), Skills (actions).👉 Discover all exclusive partners and offers here: solo.to/kellycardenas––––––LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify––––––MORE WAYS TO VIBE WITH US📩 The VIBE Report Newsletter📘 Inchstones: The Vibe Within (Book)📘 The VIBE Method™ (Book)🌎 Official Website––––––ABOUT THE SHOWThe VIBE with Kelly Cardenas Podcast exists to transform leadership and life one Inchstone at a time.

What if the small foolish acts you overlook every day are the very things wrecking your biggest dreams? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas Podcast, we break down the wisdom of Proverbs 26, a wild story from Marvin Gaye’s backyard, and how to avoid the foolish decisions that derail your life.This episode takes us to an unforgettable moment: standing on a third-story balcony overlooking Marvin Gaye’s backyard while the song Sexual Healing randomly played on the radio. My friend Russell looked at me and said, “That’s the hill Marvin Gaye was running up when his dad shot him!” That sparked a conversation on foolish behavior—and how often, it starts small.Think about it: if you demanded delivery of a car before it was finished and it showed up without a steering wheel, everyone would call that foolish. And yet, in life, we often “take delivery” too soon—making small foolish choices that stack into disastrous results.Proverbs 26 makes it plain: foolishness is easy to spot in the big things, but it’s the small acts we often ignore that lead us there. In this episode, we unpack those small foolish habits:Avoiding disciplineFailing to read the roomLacking discernmentSkipping due diligence in relationships or businessRefusing to learn from mistakesEgo uncheckedGossipingLazinessMeddling in other people’s businessNot telling the truthWhen these pile up, they lead to massive foolish decisions. But here’s the VIBE: when our Heart (belief system) is filled with truth, it overflows into our Words (mind/intentions) and flows into our Actions (skills)—aligning everything into that irresistible VIBE. Because the VIBE is not just what you bring into the room… it’s how people feel when you leave.So here’s the question: What’s the most foolish thing you’ve done in the last week, and how can Proverbs 26 help you stop it before it grows?––––––This Episode Is Brought To You By…🌟 Cardenas Law Group – Protecting what matters most.🌟 Inchstones: The Vibe Within – Transform your life one Inchstone at a time.🌟 The VIBE Method™ Framework – Heart (belief system), Mind (intentions), Skills (actions).👉 Discover all exclusive partners and offers here: solo.to/kellycardenas––––––LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify––––––MORE WAYS TO VIBE WITH US📩 The VIBE Report Newsletter📘 Inchstones: The Vibe Within (Book)📘 The VIBE Method™ (Book)🎥 Clips Channel: [Insert link once live]🌎 Official Website––––––ABOUT THE SHOWThe VIBE with Kelly Cardenas Podcast exists to transform leadership and life one Inchstone at a time.

What do you really want in life?It’s one of the hardest questions we can face—personally, professionally, spiritually, and financially. And if you don’t have an immediate answer, that’s OK. Most of us don’t. But that’s where the real work begins.In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, Kelly unpacks the question his friend Mirko asked him that shook him to the core: “What do you want?” That moment led him to Proverbs 23—a passage that doesn’t hand us answers, but instead gives us the framework to discover them.You’ll hear how chasing money, fame, or the food of this world will never satisfy the hunger of the spirit—and how seeking wise counsel, applying discipline, and spending time with God aligns your heart, mind, and skills. When we guard our hearts and live from wisdom, our words and actions overflow with love and joy.Kelly also shares a powerful story about Mirko, the founder of Opus Footwear—from pushing a stranger up a hill during a charity ride in Las Vegas to building the best skate shoes on the market.

Encouragement isn’t just nice to have—it’s the ultimate unfair advantage in life and business. In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, I share a lesson from my Pops: the one thing we fail at the most and work at the least is communication. Sometimes that communication is a question, other times it’s silence—but most often, it’s the kind word that sparks a fire inside all of us.From walking with my daughter Brooklyn, to studying Proverbs 20, to growing up as a military brat on bases across the U.S., I’ve seen firsthand that encouragement changes everything. Military life gave me an “unfair advantage”: no favoritism, no judgment, just unity, discipline, and character. That same advantage applies today in leadership, business, and relationships—because encouragement fuels connection, wisdom sharpens perspective, and action proves commitment.In this episode, we’ll explore:Why encouragement is wisdom in actionHow Proverbs 20 gives us practical, timeless guidanceThe unfair advantage of growing up in a community built on unity and accountabilityWhy talk is cheap, but encouragement is pricelessHow to align heart, mind, and skills to make encouragement your daily practiceWhether you’re leading a business, raising a family, or simply trying to get through the day, this episode will remind you: a kind word can shift the atmosphere, strengthen relationships, and spark transformation.A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORSINCHSTONES PLAYBOOKhttps://a.co/d/hil3nloSUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER⁠https://thevibebykellycardenas.substack.com?r=4nn6y5&utm_medium=ios⁠BUY THE VIBE BOOK ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/6tgAJ4c⁠⁠ BUY BLING ⁠⁠https://shop.kellycardenas.com/products/kelly-cardenas-salon-bling⁠⁠ CARDENAS LAW GROUPhttps://www.cardenaslawgroup.com/THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE PLANEThttps://www.lulusmexicanfood.com/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - BROOKLYN CARDENAS ⁠⁠https://www.brooklyncardenas.com/⁠⁠

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents Terra started as a hairstylist with just a few hundred dollars to her name, packing up everything she owned and moving across the country to Las Vegas in pursuit of something bigger. It didn’t take long for Terra to uncover the power of high-ticket services, specifically, hair extensions, as a pathway to financial freedom.But when the industry continued to fall short with poor-quality products, Terra refused to settle. Instead, she built her own solution. That bold decision led to the creation of Harper Ellis Hair Co., now a multi-8-figure hair extension and education brand trusted by thousands of salon professionals across the country.Terra didn’t stop at product innovation. Recognizing a broken salon model that was holding both stylists and owners back, she set out to build something better. She is the founder of Strata Salon Systems. A disruptive business model that’s shaking up the industry and rewriting the rules.Terra’s mission is clear: stylists should no longer trade all of their time for money, and salon owners deserve to scale profitable, wealth-building empires.https://www.harperellishair.com/A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORSINCHSTONES PLAYBOOKhttps://a.co/d/hil3nloSUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER⁠https://thevibebykellycardenas.substack.com?r=4nn6y5&utm_medium=ios⁠BUY THE VIBE BOOK ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/6tgAJ4c⁠⁠ BUY BLING ⁠⁠https://shop.kellycardenas.com/products/kelly-cardenas-salon-bling⁠⁠ CARDENAS LAW GROUPhttps://www.cardenaslawgroup.com/THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE PLANEThttps://www.lulusmexicanfood.com/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - BROOKLYN CARDENAS ⁠⁠https://www.brooklyncardenas.com/⁠⁠
