21 - Let's chat about core values
In this episode we're talking about core values - what they are, why I recommend you find yours (if you don't know them already) and how to do that.
I'm also inviting you to check out my 8 week group coaching experience The Inner Compass where identifying your core values is one of THE first things we do. I truly believe they're vital for guiding our decision making (like a compass... get it? I'll show myself out...) and understanding where our actions may not have been aligned so we can start to make tweaks.
I mention James Clear's list of core values you can review to find yours

Trailer
Join me each episode as we explore the intersection of mental wellbeing, personal growth and the rest of our lives and discuss concepts like perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking. We’ll start to dismantle some of the so-called rules we used to blindly follow and together, we’ll call bullshit on the messaging out there and figure out what we want our lives to look like - because as the name of this show suggests, the rules are made up.
So why not make our own?
