In today’s episode, we explore a deceptively simple, but deeply messy, question: Whose values are you parenting from?
It’s a gentle, courageous invitation to uncover the scripts we’ve inherited; values absorbed from our families, communities, even the culture at large, and ask: Are these values yours… or just familiar?

Join me as we unravel what “values” really mean: not slogans, but the guiding principles that show up when you’re tired or triggered.
We'll look at where those values come from, how they can misalign with the family you actually want, and how to begin choosing values that reflect your own vision, not just the one you inherited.

You'll hear:

• Why many of us parent by default, using values we never consciously chose
• A simple but powerful framework: Keep • Rewrite • Release, used to redefine what matters most
• Real-life stories of couples navigating differences in meaning and merging into a shared, intentional value system

This isn’t about blame or perfection.
It’s about awareness, courage, and alignment.
Because values like presence, kindness, rest, or respect deserve a lived definition that you and your partner both own.

This episode’s breakdown:
1. How inherited values shape your parenting without you realizing it
2. The three-column framework to keep, rewrite, or release values
3. What happens when you and your partner define the same words differently
4. The emotional power of choosing values that align with the family you truly want

Take this episode as your mirror:
a chance to pause, get curious, and reclaim the values that light you up.
You don’t need a manifesto.
You need clarity and courage.
