What really drives you? What lights you up and makes you feel aligned, and what leaves you drained and disconnected?

In this week’s episode of Leading With Heart, I’m diving into one of the most powerful tools for self-awareness and leadership: anchoring into your core values.

I share my own story of the first time I did a values exercise, and how it was a complete wake-up call. I realized that so much of my life was out of alignment with what truly mattered to me, and no wonder I felt unhappy and stuck. That moment gave me language for my inner world, and everything shifted.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why naming your core values is like turning the lights on in a dark room
How living in alignment creates freedom, clarity, and confidence
Why understanding the values of others transforms the way you lead at home and at work
Simple, practical ways to identify your own values and use them as a compass for decision-making

This is more than a “self-help” exercise, it’s a tool to ground you, guide you, and elevate the way you show up in every area of your life.

And if you’re ready to go deeper, we’re exploring core values all month long inside the Lead Your Life App. You’ll find journaling prompts, practices, and community support to help you put this work into action.

Because when you know your values, you know yourself. And when you live by them, you lead with heart.
