Listen "312. Strengthen Your Relationship by Honoring Your Core Values"
Episode Synopsis
Last year, we shared the story of Mark and Jennie Donohue and their experience setting shared goals at our annual Goal Setting Retreat.
Let’s refresh: Mark worked long hours but wasn’t seeing any more money come in. Jennie was a stay-at-home mom with an online coaching business, and she was feeling unsupported and misunderstood. Their marriage was struggling. They were trying to move their family forward, but they were both moving in opposite directions. Something had to change.
What happened at that Goal Setting Retreat changed their lives. They improved their marriage and got their lives on the same page. As you hear their story, you’ll learn how understanding each other’s core values unlocked appreciation for what they each bring to their family.
If you would like to discover your core values, you can join us at our annual Goal Setting Retreat by visiting the1thing/setmygoals or buy the Core Values Deck at the1thing.com/corevalues.
