In this bold and soul-stretching episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we explore a question that could completely reshape your life, leadership, and legacy:
Are you showing up to succeed—or simply trying not to mess it all up?
It all started with a quiet moment in the kitchen: Brooklyn Cardenas—this year’s #1 wedding hairdresser in San Diego—walked in with nerves before a wedding. What could possibly shake a woman at the top of her game? Kelly’s honest reflection turns into a full-blown masterclass in high performance mindset, drawn straight from Proverbs 26 and packed with practical wisdom that speaks to the heart.
But this isn’t just a personal story—it’s a framework for overcoming three of today’s biggest challenges in business and life:
