   Living Your Values Every Day

   In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohosts Laurel Boivin and Laurel Holland continue their conversation about putting inner work into action by exploring what it really means to live your values. They talk about treating values less like nouns and more like verbs—something we actively practice. They explore how our experiences, including the moments when something feels deeply wrong or out of alignment, can help us recognize what matters most to us. Laurel and Laurel also discuss what happens when our actions, relationships, workplaces, or communities conflict with our values. Sometimes we experience that misalignment before we can even describe it in words. Living your values requires awareness, but awareness alone isn't enough. It asks us to make intentional choices about how we show up, where we spend our time, the communities we participate in, and sometimes whether we are willing to make a change. And perhaps most importantly, knowing and living our values helps us know ourselves. Rather than searching outside ourselves for some elusive sense of purpose, our values can help point the way toward the work, relationships, communities, and contributions that make life feel meaningful. In This Episode Why identifying your values and living them is where the real work happens How experiences of misalignment can reveal what matters most to you What changes when you begin thinking of your values as verbs rather than nouns How your body may signal when your choices and actions aren't aligned with what you believe Why knowing yourself and living your values can help you discover greater meaning, belonging, and purpose Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. What are three values that feel most important to me right now, and how am I actively living each of them? Where in my life do I feel most aligned with my values? Where do I feel least aligned? When I act in a way that conflicts with one of my values, how does that misalignment show up in my thoughts, emotions, or body? If I treated one of my most important values as a verb, what would living that value look like in my everyday choices? What might change if I allowed my values, not other people's expectations, to guide more of my decisions?

   Moving Beyond Awareness

   Awareness is an important part of personal growth. But awareness alone doesn’t create change. In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin explore what happens after we recognize that something in our lives no longer feels right. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, an old pattern, or simply a sense that we’re living out of alignment, awareness is the beginning of the inner work—not the end. They talk about learning to listen to discomfort as a wake-up call, accepting what is without judgment or resistance, and getting curious about what we want instead. Laurel Holland shares her Inner Power Wheel and the practices that help move us from awareness into conscious choice, release, grief work, healthy boundaries, intuition, and ultimately, living more intentionally from the inside out. They also explore why this work can’t always be rushed. Sometimes the temptation is to fix the external circumstances as quickly as possible. But when the inner work remains unfinished, we often carry the same patterns with us into the next job, relationship, or chapter. Moving beyond awareness requires patience, curiosity, self-compassion, and a willingness to stay with what we discover long enough to create something different. In This Episode: Why awareness is the entry point to change, not the change itself. How discomfort can become a wake-up call rather than something to avoid. The role of acceptance, conscious choice, release, grief, boundaries, and intuition in inner transformation. Why taking inventory helps us understand the patterns and choices that brought us to where we are. What can happen when we change our external circumstances before doing the inner work underneath them. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. What am I aware of in my life right now that doesn’t feel right or aligned anymore? Instead of immediately trying to change it, what might happen if I simply allowed myself to get curious about it? What patterns, choices, expectations, or experiences contributed to where I am today? What am I ready to release—and what might I still need to grieve, forgive, or make peace with? If I weren’t simply trying to get away from what I don’t want, what would I consciously choose instead?

   The Golden Key of Self Reflection

   In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin explore self-reflection as the “golden key” to inner work. They talk about what becomes possible when we learn to turn inward—to notice our thoughts, emotions, judgments, patterns, and reactions without immediately criticizing, dismissing, or trying to change them. Self-reflection isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it means recognizing parts of ourselves we would rather not see, including qualities we are quick to judge in others. It also asks us to become more willing to experience the full range of our emotions rather than avoiding the ones we find difficult. But there is another side to this practice. The more present we become with ourselves, the more capable we become of experiencing not only discomfort, but also joy, love, peace, and connection. Self-reflection is about seeing yourself more fully, learning from what you discover, and making conscious choices about who you want to become. In this episode: • Why self-reflection may be the “golden key” to meaningful inner work—and why we can’t change what we aren’t willing to see. • What our judgments of other people can reveal about ourselves, and how recognizing our shared humanity can change the way we relate to others. • Why learning to experience the full range of our emotions—including the uncomfortable ones—builds our capacity to make clearer, more intentional choices. • How becoming a better listener to others can teach us to listen to ourselves with greater curiosity, compassion, and less judgment. • How accepting the parts of ourselves we would rather avoid can help us grow into greater integrity—and create more room for joy. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. What have I been noticing about myself lately that may be asking for my attention rather than my judgment? Think about someone whose behavior regularly frustrates or triggers you. What specifically bothers you? Where might some version of that quality or behavior exist in you? Which emotions are easiest for me to experience? Which ones do I tend to avoid, minimize, explain away, or move through quickly? What am I currently looking for from someone else that I might also be able to give myself? When I notice something about myself that I don’t particularly like, what would change if I approached it as a teacher rather than something to criticize? Where might there be joy, beauty, love, or contentment in my life that I am moving through too quickly to fully experience?
