Summary

A few years ago I was at a workshop for business owners and we had to create a list of our core values. We were given a list of 40 or so values to choose from and had to narrow it down to our top 5.  I couldn’t do it. I cried. It took me longer than anyone else in the room to narrow my list down to just a few core values I wanted to commit to.  The process of discernment around this brought up a lot of emotion around why certain things are important to me. It forced me to look at myself, who I am, how I show up, and how I want to impact the world. While this was hard, it was ultimately so freeing. When I (finally) completed the exercise, I had so much clarity around what was most important to me and why each value was important. These core values have become guiding lights for me as I’ve developed as a woman, a mom, and a CEO.  Listen in to hear why committing to a short list of core values is important - even crucial. Learn exactly how to choose a few select core values that will become beacons in times of uncertainty. Get excited about determining what’s most important to you and how to live more clearly, deeply, and loudly in your values that matter the most.

Hello, shameless moms. Happy Monday. Happy July. Oh my gosh. How are we even here?

1:07.0

It's crazy to me how quickly the month of June went, even though it was a really hard and heavy and traumatic month. And it's July and like the heart of summer. And I know it doesn't

1:13.0

feel like the heart of summer in so many ways. But here we are. We're just after a holiday weekend.

So I hope you got it safe and happy Fourth of July weekend. Got to spend some quality time with the

fam, you know, in addition to the months of quality time you've been having this year,

1:28.7

I mean, who doesn't need more quality time with their family right now? So we were fortunate enough

1:32.8

to get away to a little Airbnb for the weekend. I'm recording this before we go, but I mean,

1:37.6

let me just predict that we're going to have a great time. We're going to a place that's

1:41.3

predictably sunier than Seattle. So we're just hoping for sun.

1:45.4

If we find sun, we're good because I'm recording this on Tuesday in the rain.

1:49.7

So, I mean, I'll take anything that's like a little bit better than that.
