The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast: Living Aligned With Your Core Values

Unlocking Your True Potential: The Importance of Knowing and Living by Your Core Values

Welcome back to another insightful episode of the Marriage and Motherhood podcast. In this special episode, I interview Kristen Odegaard, a life coach with a transformative approach to helping women discover their true selves. The discussion dives deep into the significance of identifying and living according to your core values.

The Power of Core Values

Understanding your core values can dramatically reshape your life. Core values guide decisions regarding time, energy, and priorities, helping individuals live more authentically and with greater intention. These foundational beliefs drive behaviors, decisions, and ultimately, personal satisfaction.

Navigating the Challenges of People Pleasing

People-pleasing is a big issue, particularly among women. Society and upbringing condition women to prioritize others' emotions over their own. It is critical to take responsibility for one's own emotions and allowing others to do the same. This empowerment leads to healthier relationships where both parties can grow independently.

Building Authentic Relationships

Living by your core values doesn't only transform your personal life but also enhances your relationships. The relationships that flourish are those that are genuinely aligned with your true self. Those that fizzle out were likely never meant to be sustained, to begin with.

There are challenges that come with changing dynamics, particularly with parents who might have different levels of emotional intelligence or awareness. We encourage you to have open conversations and setting boundaries to maintain a healthy relationship while preserving one's inner peace.

Identify your core values and start living a life true to yourself. If you need guidance, reach out to Kristen or tune into her podcast,Stop Overthinking, for more insights.
