How much of the life you’re building is based on what genuinely matters to you and how much is based on what you learned should matter?
In this episode of It’s Not What You Think, Julie explores how the values we grow up around can quietly shape the choices we make as adults, from career and relationships to money, achievement, independence and even our definition of success.
She looks at the difference between a genuine value and something that may have begun as a strategy for feeling safe, accepted or enough and why it’s possible to become very successful at building a life that doesn’t entirely feel like your own.
This isn’t about rejecting the life you’ve built or deciding that conventional goals are somehow wrong. It’s about becoming curious about where your “shoulds” came from and whether the things you’re working so hard for still matter to you.
Because sometimes the question isn’t, “What should I do next?”
It’s, “Is this actually mine?”
