Values Based Living

Coreen never liked to celebrate her birthday, until she got into better relationship with her values. We go into what, how, and why. We also speak generally about what values can be at play when we observe our relationship with our birthdays. Many of us have 'hang-ups' around our birthdays. Sometimes we believe that how we celebrate that day reflects the value of the whole year. Sometimes we insist that our birthday not be mentioned at all, let alone celebrated. Why do we care so much about one symbolic day? Coreen and Ali tug on a thread of the larger web.

Ali and Coreen talk about the values that show up for them around their relationship with food, what struggles have come up, and how knowing their values has helped. We explore the following topics around food: - shadow values - parenting - trauma - situational depression - how to get out of a shame spiral Some values highlighted: comfort, self-acceptance, non-conformity.

Can I date someone who isn't doing the work? How childhood affects dating style in adulthood. If I say yes to you, do I need to say goodbye to over-easy eggs forever? Coreen and Ali get excited about how values inform ALL of these pieces, and more.

We talk about how easy it can be to throw away our values when we get into a new and exciting relationship, AND conversely how easy it can be to jump to conclusions and assume the other person's seemingly opposite values mean you aren't right for each other. “I once dreamt I was telling stories and felt someone patting my foot in encouragement. I looked down and saw that I was standing on the shoulders of an older woman who was steadying my ankles and smiling up at me. I said to her, "no no come stand on my shoulders, For you are old and I am Young." "No no" she insisted, "this is the way it is supposed to be." I saw that she stood on the shoulders of a woman far older than she, who stood on the shoulders of a woman even older, who stood on the shoulders of a woman in robes, who stood on the shoulders of another soul, who stood on the shoulders...” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

We talk about the tendency to skip over the foundational skills around getting to know our values. After decades working with values, the two of us still need to go back to basics.
