Many people today feel anxious, stressed, lost, or disconnected—and often, the real reason is hidden underneath: they’re not living in line with their core values. They “know” their values in their head, but their daily choices, relationships, and work don’t reflect what truly matters to them. This powerful first episode of 2026, Season 6 of Empower Your Life with Cindy Marie is an invitation to change that.In this episode, executive coach and leadership trainer Dennis Larsson returns to explore the knowing, the doing, the being, and what it really means to live your core values in real life—not just talk about them. He opens up about “crashing and burning” in his 40s, going through divorce and therapy, and realizing he only knew his corporate values, not his personal or relationship values. From there, he began a long journey to discover his own five core values and to align his life with them.​You’ll hear us talk about:Why do so many people can list their values but get challenged to embody them in their daily actions.​The three areas of life—personal, relationships, and professional—and what happens when they’re out of alignment.​How ignoring your values for money, approval, or comfort can lead to anxiety, burnout, and feeling “not yourself.”​What authentic leadership looks like when your values show up the same at home, at work, and with yourself.​The difference between knowing your values… and actually living by design, not by default.​Dennis also shares his Value Triangle Assessment, a guided process that helps you name your own values (not just pick from a list), rank them across personal, relationship, and professional life, and end up with five clear core values that truly feel like you.​💫 If you’ve ever said, “I know what matters to me,” but your life doesn’t really match it… this episode will challenge you, comfort you, and encourage you to take honest, gentle steps back to your truth.​00:00  The Journey to Core Values07:51  Defining the Core Values10:35  The Gap Between Knowing and Living Values16:15  Authentic Leadership and Values in Practice25:17  The Value Triangle Assessment36:50  Applying Values Across Life Domains44:19  Navigating Challenges and Maintaining Optimism53:10  Connecting and Finding Your Values🎁 Special Offer – Value Triangle AssessmentWant help getting clear on your core values and bridging the gap between knowing and living?
