Values and Decision Making: The Compass You Never Chose

from The Self-ish Me Podcast Hosted by Kamila Turek

We all make decisions based on something, most likely our values. But what if we told you the values running your biggest decisions were never yours to begin with? They might be coming from your parents', your culture's, or your religion's, values you inherited so early you never thought to question whether they were actually yours. This week, Kamila unpacks values and decision making as her personal framework for navigating hard choices, sparked by a listener question on burnout recovery. It's part of her wider work on untangling societal conditioning from the choices that are actually yours. You will walk away with: A three-question exercise to identify your own top five values, fast and without overthinking How to spot which of your "values" are conditioning in disguise, and which are genuinely yours A reframe of burnout recovery as a forced pause rather than a personal failure A repeatable way to use values and decision making together as your internal compass for whatever comes next Kamila is a Business Psychologist and coach whose work centres on reclaiming personal power and practical tools for women navigating change. Press play if you are ready to put values and decision making into practice in your own life. This podcast is for women in the middle of rewriting their own story, looking for honest, research-backed conversations across relationships, sexuality, career and health. You will learn how to separate conditioning from choice, know what is truly yours, and build a life that actually feels like it belongs to you.
