In this episode, we’re diving deep into a powerful but often overlooked question: What truly matters to you?

We live in a world filled with distractions, expectations, and noise, and without clarity, it’s easy to drift. However, journaling offers a way to return to center. In this session, we’ll explore how you can use reflective writing or audio journaling to identify and reconnect with your core values — the principles that guide your decisions, your goals, and your sense of purpose.

We’ll draw from timeless wisdom and practical frameworks provided by thought leaders such as John Demartini, Stephen Covey, Tony Robbins, and Viktor Frankl — each offering unique perspectives on how values shape our lives. You’ll be guided through prompts designed to help you not just name your values, but feel them. Discover where your energy naturally flows, what drives you, and what might need realignment.

Whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking more meaningful work, or simply feeling off course, this episode is your space to pause, reflect, and rediscover what truly matters.
