Have you ever felt stuck, unfulfilled, or on the edge of burnout, wondering if this is really what life is supposed to look like? I’ve been there. And the turning point for me came when I sat in my car with my first life coach and did a simple core values exercise that completely changed the trajectory of my life.

In this episode of Leading With Heart, I’m pulling back the curtain on how uncovering my values helped me walk away from a job that was draining the life out of me, build a business aligned with what matters most, and prevent burnout before it takes over.

Core values aren’t just a “nice to have.” They’re your compass. They give meaning to your work, confidence to your decisions, and resilience when life feels heavy. And when you align with them, you stop chasing someone else’s definition of success and start creating your own.

Whether you’re leading yourself, your family, or your team, this episode will show you how values-based living can transform the way you show up every single day.

In This Episode:

Why values conflict is one of the leading causes of burnout
How identifying your values gives you confidence to say yes or no without guilt
The story of how a single exercise led me to quit my job and completely shift my career
Practical ways to uncover your top values and use them as a filter for decisions
How values-based leadership deepens connection with your team, your family, and yourself
