If you’re feeling drained, unfulfilled, or stuck, chances are you’re living in a way that isn’t fully aligned with your values.

When we’re disconnected from what truly matters to us, life feels like a struggle. The moment you define your values, you reconnect with your essence—and your sense of direction in life will be re-ignited.

Hi loves,

As many of you know, there was a time when I felt lost—like I was drifting in a life that didn’t truly fulfill me. I was achieving things, ticking boxes, but something deeper felt misaligned. One of the key shifts I made was becoming curious about myself again—getting to know myself, not as I had been conditioned to be, but as I truly was.

I started re-asking key questions:
If the decisions I’ve been making haven’t led me to happiness & fulfillment,
how do I redefine my North Star?

Two exercises that deeply supported me in this process were:

Getting crystal clear on my core values—what truly matters to me.
Identifying my natural gifts—what energises and excites me.

Further down you’ll find a document with the core values exercise - and I promise it will support you to feel more clear on who you are and where you’re going.

Let me give you 3 reasons to get clear on your core values.

1️⃣ Values = Happiness & Fulfillment

Research consistently shows that living in alignment with our values leads to greater life satisfaction and fulfillment. When we act in ways that reflect what matters most to us, we experience deeper joy and meaning.

2️⃣ Stronger Boundaries & Better Decisions

Knowing your values supports creating healthier boundaries, and making decisions that align with your deeper desires - saying YES to what truly aligns, rather than just what feels urgent or expected of you. Because let’s be honest — that to-list of yours is never going to get any shorter, so don’t wait for that to happen before you make your happiness a priority.

3️⃣ Your Inner Compass

Your values act like a compass (your North Star!), guiding you through both big life decisions and small daily choices. Without them, life can feel directionless. But with them? You can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

May this serve you!
