Ep. 017 - MOST SPECIAL EPISODE - THE KIDS

❤️ Welcome to a truly special and emotionally resonant episode of the Value of Values podcast. 🎙️

Today, I'm sharing the most important episode I've ever recorded—an episode that fills me with pride, inspiration, and love. In this conversation, I sit down with my kids, who have all flown the nest (temporarily).  At the time of the recording, Myles is in London (college), Izabel is Delaware (college) and Hannah in Croatia (study abroad junior year of high school).  So, an international flare to boot!  We explore a topic close to my heart: CORE VALUES and we throw in some cultural impacts as well!

🌟I asked them what they thought core values were and, more personally, what they believed my core values to be. It was a vulnerable moment for me, as I had no idea how they would respond or if they even understood what I meant. But to my amazement and joy, they not only grasped the concept but also shared profound insights that showed their remarkable emotional intelligence.

🌍✨ Our conversation revealed that the younger generations are well ahead of the game, with a deep understanding of values that will shape a brighter, more connected future for humanity. It gives me great hope in this world that seems to want to give us challenging news all the time.  This episode is longer than usual, but every moment is a testament to the growth, wisdom, and love that we as a family, and as people, continue to nurture.

Settle in and join us for a heartfelt journey that will leave you inspired and hopeful for the future. This is a conversation I will treasure forever, and I am honored to share it with you.🎙️💕
