    95 - The 1% - The Problem that Plagues the Human Heart

    I'm so excited to share this off-the-cuff episode with you exploring the biggest problem that we each face - the 1% of us that is STILL attached to negative thinking and focused on "not enoughness" in subtle and insidious ways.

    Are you feeling stuck in old patterns or facing resistance to change?

    Do you feel like whatever you do is just "not enough"?

    Chances are that 1% of negative thinking is negating the incredible progress you are making and the awareness you are experiencing.
    In this episode, I explore portals of awakening and how we give too much power to our negative thoughts at the expense of our higher self's dreams for true love, connection, and expansion.
    This is one of the core things we MUST upgrade as we move into 2024.

    94 - How To Embrace The Full Spectrum of Life

    94 - How To Embrace The Full Spectrum of Life

    Join host Kayleigh O'Keefe on "The Future is Human" as she shares profound insights from her 21-day road trip. This episode, part of a series of mini-episodes, dives deep into the interplay of fiction and human experience, guided by the enlightening narratives of remarkable books. Kayleigh reflects on how these stories relate to upgrading our human operating system (HOS) and she delves into the essence of our human journey.
    In this thought-provoking episode, Kayleigh explores the impact of three influential books: "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse, and "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. She draws parallels between these fictional universes and our contemporary world, discussing how they illuminate the complexities of our human emotions, the search for identity, and the essence of what it means to truly live.
    5 Key Takeaways:
    The Depth of Fiction: Exploring how "The Giver," "Siddhartha," and "Never Let Me Go" offer profound insights into human nature and society. Humanity in Contrast: Understanding the importance of feeling our emotions through the juxtaposition of dystopian narratives and real-life experiences. The Seeker's Path: Lessons from "Siddhartha" on the importance of personal experience and direct connection with life. Rediscovering Joy and Sorrow: How "The Giver" challenges us to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions. Reflecting on Our Purpose: Insights from "Never Let Me Go" on how societal roles can mirror our own struggles with identity and purpose. As Kayleigh traverses through different landscapes, both physical and literary, she invites listeners to join her in rediscovering the joy, pain, and beauty of being human. This episode is not just a travelogue; it's a journey into the heart of what it means to live a conscious, connected life in today's world.

    93 - Don't Let Your Humanity Be Weaponized Against You

    93 - Don't Let Your Humanity Be Weaponized Against You

    In a world increasingly weaponizing our humanity against us, Kayleigh embarks on a crucial exploration of self-trust and authenticity. In this episode of The Future is Human Podcast, she delves deep into the need for a discerning approach to personal beliefs and societal values. Kayleigh invites listeners to reevaluate whether the principles they've been living by are genuinely theirs or whether they've adopted them wholesale from external influences.
    It's not enough to just navigate life with blind allegiance to a set of values. Kayleigh emphasizes the vital importance of standing for something different—of creating the platforms and spaces that allow a new world to flourish. With a blend of emotional intelligence and deeply considered thought, she encourages listeners to reflect on what triggers them and to use that self-awareness as a compass for personal and collective transformation.

    Kayleigh's rallying call is clear: don't let your humanity be weaponized against you. Instead, become the conscious leader you are meant to be, driving change through self-expression, community, and leadership.
    10 Key Takeaways: Challenge the beliefs you've been conditioned to accept. Humanity's greatest qualities can be manipulated; be vigilant. Question the fight you're told to fight; is it truly yours? You alone should care most deeply about your own destiny. Do not let societal judgments deter you from your true path. Creating your art and living an inspired life is a form of leadership. Technology, like AI, can be a tool for individual empowerment. Your values are your compass in a world of external influence. Being mindful of your triggers can illuminate your true self. Personal freedom is not just a right, but a responsibility. Links:

    92 - 3 Mistakes I Made On The Path from Corporate to Creative

    92 - 3 Mistakes I Made On The Path from Corporate to Creative

    Hey there, wonderful souls!  It's your host, Kayleigh O'Keefe, the founder and CEO of Soul Excellence Ventures, welcoming you to today's episode of The Future is Human podcast where I share 3 mistakes that slowed me down on my journey from corporate to creative. 🚀🌈

    Please Note: I share my journey in minutes 0 - 8, so if you've already heard that, jump ahead to the 9-minute mark to dig into the key lessons.

    Mistake #1: Sharing Your Dreams With the Wrong People
    It's important to choose carefully who you share your dreams and aspirations with. Many people might not understand or support your vision, leading to doubt and discouragement. Surround yourself with supportive individuals who share your goals and values. Mistake #2: Taking the Indirect Route
    Instead of going directly for what you desire, you might take an indirect path, thinking you have to serve others first. Embrace the idea of going directly for what you want, aligning with your true purpose and desires. Don't underestimate the power of your creative expression and your unique voice. Mistake #3: Getting Stuck in Constant Healing
    While healing is important, it's essential not to get trapped in an endless cycle of healing. Seek to transmute your healing experiences into growth and expansion. Embrace the beauty of life, growth, relationships, and human experiences. Embrace Your Creative Living Journey
    Creative living is about being in the moment, tactile, and energetic, where you're in love with the beauty of life. Connect with others on a similar journey, and collaborate to create new systems and institutions that will shape the future. Invitation to Join on September 17
    Join me on September 17 to dive deeper into the shift from corporate to creative living. The event is for those who are curious and considering this transition in their own lives.

    90 - How Lack Plays Out in Business, Your 100 Life Goals as Your Reminder of Who You Really Are, and The Joy of Cooking

    90 - How Lack Plays Out in Business, Your 100 Life Goals as Your Reminder of Who You Really Are, and The Joy of Cooking

    So many business leadership and networking events are still operating from the masculine paradigm of doing business. This is why it is so important to be mindful of who you share your ideas with. 
     
    A lot of being human is about building authentic connections with others. Oftentimes networking events are so entrenched in the masculine paradigm and the ideas of lack versus abundance, that they are actively teaching things that hinder building those vital connections. When you see everyone as competition, it is hard to form an authentic relationship with them. Kayleigh  explains that her experience at this event helped her to feel even more sure of her path and to recognize how important it is for her as an empath to navigate business from a divine feminine perspective. In this episode, Kayleigh talks about her experiences at the women’s networking event, the exercise of writing out your 100 life goals, and getting into the joy of cooking as a means to connect with what it means to be human.
     
    In this episodeKayleigh also shares what she has been learning from finally opening a cookbook that she has had for years upon finding some gorgeous vegetables at the farmer’s market. Cooking is a great way to bring people together as it encourages playfulness and creativity. When Kayleigh reviews her 100 life goals list after rediscovering her cookbook, she realizes that her desire to cook is directly connected to her desire for family. 
     
    Quotes
    “If you haven't already written down your 100 life goals, what are you waiting for? This exercise writing down 100 things that you hope to experience in this lifetime, I believe is your key to feeling into your creative energy and starting to ignore your present ‘reality’.” (0:48-1:13)
    “Show up with guidance, show up with inspiration, show up with stories and not fear based messaging.” (25:49-25:56)
    “If we believe that energy flows where our attention goes, and I look at this list, I feel so much energy and excitement to move in the direction that will make these dreams and life goals a reality.” (34:27-34:40)
    “The beauty of the future being human is we have to come back to these special creative tasks that only we can do.” (47:23-47:33)
