Listen "024 - Finding Your Values (Exercise and Exploration)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Lora and Jeff explore the link between knowing your core values and building authentic community. They start with a conversation about the difference between shame and guilt — and how understanding these emotions can guide us toward living in alignment with what matters most. From there, they dive into a practical core values discovery exercise, sharing their own top picks (like compassion, integrity, and resilience) and reflecting on where those values show up in life — and where they want them to show up more. Along the way, they unpack why shared values are the foundation of true connection and how embracing them can help overcome isolation and foster belonging.In this episode, we explore:The difference between shame and guilt, and why we’re wired for shame.Why shared values are essential for community.A guided core values discovery exercise you can follow along with.How to choose and refine your top values.Where values show up in relationships, work, health, and personal growth.The role of compassion, integrity, and resilience in everyday life.How to notice when you’re living out of alignment with your values.The challenge of individuality in a communal world.Personal stories that shaped our understanding of community and belonging.Why identifying your values is the first step toward finding your people.Connect with So What Who CaresEmail: [email protected]YouTube: @sowhatwhocarespodcastInstagram: @sowhatwhocarespodcastFacebook: So What Who Cares PodcastTikTok: @sowhatwhocarespodcastFind Lora McCarville at: https://www.loramccarville.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shame and Guilt02:24 Understanding Community and Shared Values05:03 Core Values Discovery Workshop07:48 Exploring Personal Values08:12 Values in Relationships and Community09:58 The Role of Integrity in Community12:25 Resilience and Community Dynamics14:49 Navigating Individuality and Community17:46 Experiencing Community in Different Contexts20:08 Building Community and Connection22:54 Reflections on Community Experiences#sowhatwhocarespodcast #sowhatwhocares #loramccarville #jeffkalasky#corevalues #findyourvalues #communitybuilding #authenticconnection #integrity #compassion #resilience #belonging #valuesalignment #mindfulnesspractice #relationshipbuilding #selfawarenessjourney #healingjourney #valuesdriven #selfdiscovery #emotionalintelligence #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #podcastcommunity
