In her book Dare to Lead, Brene Brown defines values as “a way of being or believing, that we hold most important.” She goes on to state that you have to know what values guide your life. Coach Mary Ann Hill could not agree more. She feels values are the foundation for truly knowing yourself and how you want to live your life. She believes that when we don’t live by our values then we are living a life without direction.   There are a lot of ways that living a life without direction can play out, but the one Mary Ann focuses on is the guilt so many mothers feel in their motherhood. When you are living by someone else’s values and trying to check off a list of “shoulds” it rarely leads to feeling happy and fulfilled, no matter what role you are performing.
