Have you ever wondered where your sense of right and wrong comes from? This week, I had an amazing chat with Marty Cornish, where we explored his journey and the importance of values in his life. That podcast is here. The show and our conversation brought me back to the topic of value and, more importantly, the sacred ones: What are your redlines? Because they are rooted in a value. The point is that our early life experiences, culture, and role models shape our values. However, we are mostly unaware of them or how they control our lives and decision-making processes.

In this shortcast, we delved into the importance of understanding and expressing our values to live a fulfilling life. Whether it's kindness, honesty, or another core value, knowing what truly matters to you can lead to greater happiness. There is also a little exercise to help you discover your values. 📝
