About this episode

In this personal episode, Kelly Cardenas reflects on wisdom from Proverbs 9 and the importance of being present while looking forward to the future.

The Secret My Mama Taught Me That Changed Everything | Proverbs 9, Wisdom, Presence & The Power of Looking Forward Have you ever spent so much time looking forward to something that, when it finally arrived, you barely experienced it? I know I have. This episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas is one of the most personal conversations I've had with you. While reading Proverbs 9 , I realized something my Mama had been teaching me my entire life. She always said, "Always have something to look forward to."

If you've ever felt anxious about the future, distracted by success, or simply needed a reminder to slow down and appreciate what God is doing today, this conversation is for you. •…
