The Values That Shape You

What are your values, and are you actually living them? In this episode of What’s On Your Mind, Mark and Will explore the difference between the values we claim to hold and the ones that truly guide our decisions. They introduce the distinction between first-order values, like courage, creativity, and growth, and second-order values, like comfort, safety, and approval, and discuss how confusing the two can lead to a life that feels stable but unfulfilled.Drawing from psychology, coaching, and clinical experience, they unpack why aligning values with action is so difficult, how to identify which values are really driving your behavior, and what practical steps you can take to live with greater intention, meaning, and clarity.
