Imagine spending hours sculpting your arms and legs at the gym, but completely ignoring your core.

You might look strong, but without a solid foundation, you’re off-balance and prone to injury.

Now, think about life. When we focus only on achievements and ignore our core values, we end up in the same spot. One can look successful on the outside while feeling unsteady on the inside.

Today’s episode of the Chart Your True North series, will help you take the first step to clarifying what truly matters. This is like setting your destination for where you want your life to go.

You wouldn’t set off on a road trip without knowing where you’re headed—so why travel through life without your own roadmap?

Join me as we dive into simple, powerful exercises to help you tune into your inner compass and build a foundation to support a value-driven life.
