Episode #7: True Self: Living Into Our Values (Part 2)

In this heartfelt and reflective episode, Drew and Steve continue their exploration of living into our values—unpacking the next set of values exercises from Drew's Values Clarification series. Through candid stories, humor, and vulnerability, they dive into what our secret passions reveal about who we truly are, and how even our overdone values can get in the way of living authentically. Steve shares his long-held love of singing and how music connects to his spiritual and inspirational values, while Drew opens up about rediscovering whimsy, curiosity, and playfulness—and how his inner "Hyper-Rational Spock" sometimes resists them. Together, they reflect on how aligning daily life with core values creates energy, joy, and meaning, and how imbalance can signal a saboteur at work. Listeners are invited to try reflective prompts like: "If time and resources were unlimited, what would I long to do?" "Where might I be taking a value to the extreme?" "What activities have heart and meaning for me?" They close with a fun "values interview" exercise: ask loved ones what magazine you'd be on the cover of, what your story would be, and what unique gift they see in you. It's an episode full of laughter, insight, and practical tools for rediscovering what makes you come alive.
