Have you ever found yourself wondering…
“Why does everything feel off, even though I’ve done all the ‘right’ things?”

Maybe the career, the relationships, or the routine that once felt right now feel hollow or disconnected. You’re not lost. You’re not failing. You’re likely just living out of alignment with your core values — and that misalignment can feel like walking around in shoes two sizes too small.

What Are Core Values (and Why Do They Matter in Midlife)?

Core values are the deeply held beliefs that shape the way you live, love, make decisions, and relate to the world. They’re like your internal compass — quiet but powerful.

When we’re younger, we often adopt values from our families, culture, or social circles without even realising it. We value achievement, approval, keeping the peace, doing what’s expected.

But midlife changes everything.

This season invites a new level of honesty — a re-evaluation. The values that once guided you may no longer serve who you’re becoming.

Signs You’re Out of Alignment with Your Core Values

• You feel stuck, frustrated, or vaguely resentful — and can’t explain why.

• You say yes to things that drain you and no to what lights you up.

• You’re constantly second-guessing yourself.

• You’ve lost touch with what brings you joy or meaning.

These are all signs that you’re living by outdated or inherited values — not the ones that reflect your truth now.

Reconnecting with Your Core Values in Midlife

Rediscovering your values isn’t about adding another “to-do” to your list. It’s about remembering who you are underneath the roles, responsibilities, and routines.

Try this gentle reflection:

👉 Which of these values feel important to you — right now?
Peace. Growth. Simplicity. Connection. Adventure. Creativity. Freedom. Belonging. Integrity. Joy.

Notice which ones light something up inside you.
Notice which ones you’ve been ignoring — and which you’ve been trying to live by that no longer fit.

This simple awareness can create powerful shifts. Because when your life begins to reflect what truly matters to you… clarity returns. Confidence grows. And you feel like you again.

Why We Start with Values at the Spark Retreat

One of the very first things we do at my YOU FIRST one day retreat is reconnect with your values.

We create space — real, uninterrupted space — for you to breathe, reflect, and gently peel back the layers of “shoulds” and expectations.

You’re not here to be fixed.
You’re here to come home to yourself.

And that journey begins by uncovering what you truly value.

Ready to Rediscover What Matters?

If you’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or like something is shifting deep within you… your values might be the missing piece.

✨ At my YOU FIRST 1 day retreat you’ll reconnect with your core values, realign with your purpose, and walk away with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.
