Understanding our values can provide us with a compass to navigate life's complexities and make decisions that align with who we want to be in the world. By identifying our values and incorporating them into our choices and actions, we can find greater peace, meaning, and fulfilment in our lives.

In this episode, Anya and Mark share personal insights on the role of values in their lives, and explore the concept of congruence with values and the challenges that arise when our actions aren’t in line.

Three prompts

1. How do you want people to describe you at your 80th birthday party?
2. How do your values show up in your character?
3. How can you bring your values into your everyday life more?
