Do you put everyone else first? Always there for family, friends, even the ones who don’t always treat you right? That’s an incredible value to have — being dependable, supportive, and accountable.
But here’s the truth: when you constantly put others before yourself, you’re letting yourself down. And when you let yourself down, you let everyone down.
In this episode, I’ll guide you through a simple but powerful exercise to uncover your core life values — the foundation of who you are. Once you know your top three, you’ll understand how to live in alignment with them, stay true to yourself, and actually be a stronger support for those you care about.
This isn’t about being selfish. It’s about knowing who you are, standing on that rock-solid foundation, and being accountable to you. From there, everything else — your goals, dreams, relationships — falls into place.
Listen in and find out:
Why putting others first can actually let them down.
How to discover your top three life values.
How living by those values makes you the best version of you.
Why accountability starts with yourself — or it doesn’t work at all.
It’s time to stop letting yourself down. Build your foundation. Live your values. And only then, lift up others.
