As of Sunday, 9 May 2021
When we live in line with our values, we magnify who we are. When we don’t, we shrink into ourselves; we diminish who we are. When we don’t know our values, and something doesn’t feel right we feel lost. Because we don’t know which value is being compromised.

There are many ways to go about finding your values. I worked with Christina Garidi and I highly recommend her as a career and purpose coach.
