Depending on the year and the country you are in, this could very well be your election season. While each of our votes matters, who we are as we vote matters more.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. explains why the right to vote is more than an act of civic engagement but an opportunity to demonstrate civility, kindness and care for the humanity of others – especially those who may have very different views from your own.

When feedback is accurate, it provides valuable insights that help us grow. But even when feedback is off-base or incorrect, it can still serve a purpose—confirming the path we're on and the decisions we’re making. The key is being willing to engage in two essential actions that many of us overlook.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows us how to leverage feedback to our advantage—whether we asked for it or not.

From the publisher's feed
Take Care & Live is a podcast for thoughtful, values-driven people who want to establish harmony between their values, decisions, and direction.
My name is Dr. Stephen V.…
The common thread? Misalignment - when values, decisions, and direction fall out of sync.
Each episode exposes the internal barriers that quietly stall momentum: unexamined values, people-pleasing disguised as discipline, the residue of broken trust, and clarity gaps that hard work alone can't fix.
We don't just diagnose the problem.
We turn insight into strategy — so you can build real momentum in your life, leadership, and work.
New episodes weekly.
Follow Take Care & Live to move forward with clarity, confidence, and bold intention—aligned with what actually matters.
