THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents What are you struggling with right now?Most of us fight battles in silence—stress, fear, bad habits, or just the weight of life itself. But my Pops, with thunder in his voice, always reminded me of a truth I didn’t want to hear but desperately needed: “Boy, He can only work with what you freely give Him.”This episode dives deep into Proverbs 26, unpacking the contrast between wisdom and foolishness—and why our struggles persist when we hold on instead of handing them over.Here’s what you’ll discover:Why wisdom leads to honor, discipline, and strength—while foolishness brings the opposite.How discernment and diligence protect us from unnecessary struggle.The power of surrender: the difference between keeping control and freely giving it to Him.The practical path to joy, peace, and love—rooted in a wisdom that transforms everything.At the end of the day, the question isn’t whether we’ll struggle—it’s whether we’ll keep holding onto it or finally give it up.👉 So ask yourself: Have I freely given it to Him?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/⁠⁠

On this episode of The VIBE Podcast with Kelly Cardenas, we dive into Proverbs 22 and a powerful real-life lesson that started with… my dog Skyler. While out on a walk, Skyler pooped, and I reached for a bag—only to realize there wasn’t one. In that moment, I felt the sting of what it’s like to be misunderstood. From the outside, it might’ve looked like I was careless, but the truth was simple: sometimes… we just don’t have a bag.How often do we judge others without knowing the full story? How often do we assume ill intent when maybe it’s just an honest mistake? This episode is a reminder that prudence and grace are essential—not just in how we treat others, but also in how we treat ourselves.📖 Proverbs 22 reminds us:A good name is more valuable than wealth.Prudence and humility shape our legacy.Faulty systems produce faulty results.Debt destroys, generosity builds.Discipline, honesty, and wise counsel create trust.Your seeds always determine your crops.In this Inchstones-inspired conversation, I share practical wisdom on building a good name through prudence, grace, generosity, discipline, and truth. Remember: before judging someone else, extend grace—and make sure you apply it to yourself first.✨ If you’re ready to live with more wisdom, more grace, and a stronger legacy—this episode is for you.👉 Subscribe to The VIBE Podcast for weekly insights on leadership, culture, and living with intention: HTTPS://SOLO.TO/KELLYCARDENAS👉 Learn more about Inchstones: https://a.co/d/4CYg4vGSUBSCRIBE 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 VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presentsGive Up! What If the One Thing You Were Told Never to Do Was the Missing Ingredient?Description:We’ve all heard it: Never give up. It’s stitched into jerseys, posted on classroom walls, and echoed in motivational speeches. But what if never giving up isn’t always the answer? What if the key to true power, peace, and purpose… is actually learning when to give up and give in?In this soul-stirring episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we challenge one of the most sacred personal development mantras and ask: What happens when we surrender—not to defeat, but to divine wisdom?Guided by Proverbs 8, we explore how giving up—on pride, control, and our own timelines—can unlock a level of wisdom, purpose, and peace that hustle culture can’t deliver. Kelly breaks down the chapter verse-by-verse, revealing how godly wisdom offers:Prudence, discretion, and truth (v.1–12)Protection from arrogance and foolishness (v.13)Sound judgment and divine insight (v.14–16)Riches far greater than wealth (v.17–21)A foundation forged before time itself (v.22–31)A call to seek, listen, and apply wisdom daily (v.32–36)This episode isn’t about quitting—it’s about redefining surrender. It’s about letting go of control and embracing a deeper kind of trust that leads to transformation.If you've been grinding, striving, and wrestling to make things happen, this episode might just be your permission slip to stop forcing and start flowing.🎧 Listen now and discover why “Give Up!” might be the best advice you've never taken.

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents CHRIS CARDENAS - CARDENAS LEGACY TEQUILAChris CardenasPresident & FounderOriginally from Southern California Chris moved often, splitting his time between California and New Mexico, where his paternal family is originally from. After migrating up to Northern California for high school and college, he made the life-changing decision to join the US Air Force, where he served as an Aerospace Propulsion Specialist for over 4 years and called Alaska his home for the next 17.While living in Alaska, an opportunity arose for him to pursue his dream of being involved in the music industry. He became a concert promoter for indie bands such as Portugal the Man, Daughtry, 3OH3, Falling in Reverse, Fuel, Lit, and many more. It is there he met who would eventually become his wife, and took Chris south of the border to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Now, the big question: Why Tequila?Like many of us, Chris’ experience with drinking low-quality, high-additive tequila was not a good one. However, while living in Mexico for over 3 years and becoming immersed in the culture, he took the time to learn the art of making a high-quality sipping tequila that was truly enjoyable.In 2017, Chris decided to retire from the music industry and relocate his family to Santa Clarita, CA. As a thank you to all his music industry supporters, he wanted to offer a quality tequila personalized and branded with his promotion company logo, Anger MGMT. He found a company in Guadalajara, Mexico that not only made the bottles but introduced him to what would eventually become the journey to his own tequila brand.Upon tasting that tequila, Chris was convinced this was what he was meant to do. Finding who made this amazing tequila was not an easy task, but after months of missing leads and relentless persistence, he was introduced to Francisco Gonzalez Jr, currently our master distiller and member of one of the most prestigious families in the tequila world. This is how Cardenas Legacy Tequila was born.Chris now resides in Santa Clarita, CA, with his wife and their three daughters, the oldest is currently attending the Coast Guard Academy. Chris combines his airline job and his passion for premium tequila by educating and sharing Cardenas Legacy Tequila with the world.
