Episode Description

Values in dating are the foundation for everything from who you choose to date and to how you make decisions, to the quality of your relationships and your own sense of self. In this episode, I sit down with my insightful friend and colleague Lena Ehrenberg for a deep, lively, and sometimes hilarious conversation about why values matter so much. Especially if you’re single, dating, or just want to have stronger relationships.

Lena and I break down what it really means to live a value-driven life. We share how values shape our choices, our boundaries, and the way we show up for ourselves and others. You’ll hear us get personal about our own top values (adventure, beauty, independence, and personal growth for me; good communication, autonomy, and curiosity for Lena) and how they inform every aspect of our lives. Not just in love; but in friendship, business, and how we spend our time and money.

We cover:

How to identify your core values and the difference between personal and relationship values.
Why dating with integrity is essential, and how knowing your values helps you avoid losing yourself in a relationship.
How to spot early signs of relationship compatibility, as well as red flags when your values are dismissed or disrespected.
Practical tips for self-discovery in dating, from journaling and reflection to paying attention to how you feel after dates and conversations.
Real stories about ignoring gut instincts and the hard lessons that come from not honoring your own values.

At its heart, this episode is about putting yourself first, building self-trust, and making your values the compass that guides your dating journey. Lena and I both believe: when you know who you are, you’ll attract higher-vibe connections and create relationships rooted in respect and authenticity.

If this conversation spoke to you, please share the episode, leave a review, or reach out for one-on-one coaching. Your values matter, and when you honor them, everything else falls into place.
