Values: We never go against who we really are

Lots of folks claim lots of things about their values…while the rest of us sit over here with popcorn and see how the act. (We’re looking at you, pearl-clutching Family Values chick; and you too, Mr. Personal Responsibility dude.) But other people, often women in midlife, choose to take time and take stock; to re-examine and re-discover; and shape who they want to be in their next chapter. 

In this episode, Values, Stasha shares a full-proof way to check yourself, and identify, without a doubt, what your values REALLY are. Meanwhile, Cheryl gets real about what happens when your values don’t line up with people you know and love. 

So, grab a tall drink, take a deep breath, and get ready to go deep down on our deep-down selves. 


Stasha’s mocktail: Berry/Kambucha Fizz
 
(I’m still on my alcohol-free August so this is a mocktail I made up just for me. I’m trying out Kambucha and finding it quite tasty.)

•  2-3 strawberries
• 3-4 raspberries
• 5-8 mint leaves
• Kambucha (flavor of your choice, I used a berry flavored from Publix organics)
• Fruit flavored sparkling water (I used La Croix Peach/Pear because that’s what I had on hand)
• Lime wedge

 Muddle the berries in a glass or bowl the press through a strainer into a glass. Add ice. Add ¼ - ½ C kambucha and then fill remaining glass with flavored sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedge if you like it a little more tart.

 Cheryl had a hell of a few weeks, so she's sticking with that old southern favorite, iced tea.
