What if looking inward isn't about doing more, but doing less? Host Ria talks with author Karen Bentley about what she calls the ego robot, the automatic patterns that run our lives until pressure reveals them.Karen shares why life energy quietly drains away through what she calls harmfulness, a personal story about overriding jealousy with a daily decision to choose love, and why real change comes from small, repeated choices rather than big effort.About the Guest: Karen Bentley is an author of more than 17 books and the creator of the Warrior Strong training program, which teaches self-mastery, self-love, and self-care through three progressive levels.Key Takeaways:Looking inward often means doing less, not adding more journaling or affirmations.The ego runs on autopilot until pressure, like rejection or disappointment, reveals it.Harmfulness, like vengeful words or tone, quietly drains your life energy over time.Real change usually starts with one clear decision, repeated consistently, not a big leap.Hearing yourself on a recording can reveal a tone you didn't know you had.Connect With Karen Bentley: Website: karenbentley.com YouTube: Karen BentleyEpisode Chapters: [00:00] Welcome to The Soul Mirror Podcast (approx.)
