The key question that reveals whether your life reflects what's truly important to you
A practical framework for conducting your own values audit
Why understanding your authentic values is crucial for career satisfaction and life fulfilment
Whether you're questioning your current career path, feeling stuck despite outward success, or simply want to make more intentional life choices, this episode offers the insights and tools you need to break free from junk values and start building a life that truly aligns with who you are at your core.
