Your values are your compass points

Your Values Are Your Compass Points: A New Episode of Treading the Waters of Life Is Here!

I am so excited to share the newest episode of Treading the Waters of Life.  This one goes deep in the best way.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the way you spend your time, energy, and resources truly reflects who you are and what you believe, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Listen Here:

Why This Episode Matters

In a world full of noise, pressure, and endless expectations, your values are your compass points. They help you navigate—honestly, gently, and purposefully—toward a life aligned with your heart, your faith, and with authenticity.

This episode explores that alignment in a powerful, real, and deeply practical way.

🎙️ Joined by Two Incredible Guests

I had the joy of sitting down with two dear friends who are courageous, committed, and absolutely inspirational in how they live out their values:

• Billy Brookshire – Author of Loving Me, human rights advocate, and someone who models simple but transformative boundary-setting.

• Heather Tuck – Vision rehabilitation therapist, social worker, fierce advocate, and a woman rooted in purpose.

Together, we dive into the messy, meaningful, and sometimes uncomfortable work of asking:

“Am I living a life that tells the truth about what matters to me?”

✨ What You’ll Discover

This episode is all about clarity, courage, and honest self-reflection. You’ll hear us explore:

🔹 The Power of Pause

Why you must pause before you act—and why reflection is the first step toward meaningful change.

🔹 Identifying Your Real Priorities

Your values aren’t ideas; they’re revealed by where your time, energy, and love go.

🔹 Defining True Success

We talk openly about the trap of comparison and the importance of creating your own definition of success. (I share a vulnerable moment about realizing one of my values had turned into living up to others’ expectations!)

🔹 Faith & Focus

Practical ways to ensure your values flow from your faith—and not from pressure, fear, or culture.

🔹 Vision vs. Values

Heather brings the powerful wisdom:

“My vision may change, my values will not.”

And the unforgettable quote:

“I found my vision when I lost my vision.”

🔹 Simple Boundary Checks

Billy shares a three-question boundary test that might just change the way you make decisions:

• Do I want to do this?

• Will it be fun?

• Will it help me or others?

🔹 The Social Media Reset

Why stepping back is necessary… and how to re-engage with intention and impact.

🔹 Grace, Patience, and Self-Compassion

Because living out your values is a daily practice—not a perfect performance.

💡 Reflection Questions & Takeaways

This episode offers gentle but honest prompting for listeners ready to realign their life with their deepest priorities. We explore:

• Recognizing when your life and values are out of sync.

• Understanding the ripple effect of your choices—on your family, community, and your future self.

• Simple steps you can take this week to begin realigning your time, energy, and focus.
