Ep. 22 Identifying My Core Values

Let's talk about values! Last week, I listened to the audiobook of Dare to Lead by Brené Brown. The second part of the book is called Living Into Our Values and it changed my attitude about values. 

I love values. I have journaled extensively about my values. I’ve talked about values with my therapist many times. I’ve probably blogged about my values (but I don’t have the time to dig through old posts now) (please god, will distance learning ever end?) After several months of work, I identified my list of twenty-ish values. Hooray! I knew all a person could possibly know about her values.

Brown, however, challenges us to identify two core values. After reading her book, I wanted to try to whittle down my list of twenty-ish values to two. I doubted I could actually do this but thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did. I identified my core values (more easily than I thought possible) and feel so inspired and empowered by the experience. I walk you through my process and hopefully by the end of this episode, you'll want to identify your core values, too!
