Values serve as that crucial bridge between determining what your dreams are and the steps needed to carry them out. Values are at the foundation of what matters to us. They dictate what we like, what we dislike, who we want to be, where we want to go, how we want to get there, and who we want to be while doing it. Our values determine what our dreams are, and in living in accordance with our values, we can pursue our dreams in an aligned way. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• Ways that you can build awareness of your values.
• How values relate to our dreams and the way we pursue them. 
• How to recognize if your stated values are in alignment with your actions
• The importance of honestly evaluating and owning your values 

Awareness of our values can facilitate our own personal growth and provide direction for our careers, families, and businesses. If you’re ready for some self-reflection, let’s dive in!
