In today’s complex and noisy world, making decisions that truly align with our values can feel impossible — especially when life has been disrupted by trauma, loss, or change.
This week, I’m honored to welcome Somik Raha, author of Invaluable: Achieving Clarity on Value, to the podcast. Somik offers a profound yet practical invitation: to pause, discover, and articulate the unique values already within you — and to integrate them into your decisions with intention.
Drawing on philosophy, poetry, citizen science, and moving stories, Somik shows us how clarifying our “values blueprint” not only brings peace and clarity to decision-making but also inspires us to live a life that feels authentic and whole.
🌱 In this conversation, we explore: ✨ Why trauma can disconnect us from our deepest values — and how to reconnect ✨ The role of reflection and storytelling in uncovering what truly matters ✨ How understanding your singular values blueprint transforms choices and relationships ✨ How to test, communicate, and live your values across work and life ✨ Why intentional decision-making is an act of self-respect and healing
About the book: Invaluable: Achieving Clarity on Value fills an important gap in how we navigate decisions, offering a holistic framework that integrates your unique values into every choice you make — consciously and confidently. By the end, you’ll feel inspired to live a life that’s true to you.
