What Guides You When Things Get Chaotic?

Picture this: it’s one of those days.

Deadlines are piling up. Emails won’t stop. Everyone needs something, and you’re stuck juggling it all.

You feel overwhelmed. Frustrated. Maybe even lost.

I’ve been there too.

And when that chaos hits, it’s easy to lose sight of why you’re doing all this in the first place.

That’s why I lean on my values.

They’re my compass. My true north. They keep me grounded when everything feels like it’s spiraling.

What I Bring to My Work

A while back, I asked myself: What values do I bring to the table?

Here’s what I came up with:

  • Curiosity, sincerity, connection. Everyone wants to feel seen and heard.

  • People first. Make everyone feel like somebody special.

  • Real stories. Being real and relatable beats being perfect.

  • Vision meets action. Big ideas only work when you take steps to make them happen.

  • Trust your gut. It’s experience talking. Listen.

  • Creative solutions. Think about doing things in a different way than they've always been done.

  • Enjoy the process. Turning the puzzle pieces into a bigger picture can be the best part.

When I feel stuck or overwhelmed, I come back to these. They remind me why I started and help me figure out my next step.

What Guides You When Everything Feels Impossible?

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what truly matters to you in your work life?

If not, that’s okay. Most of us don’t start there.

But here’s the thing: knowing your core values isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation for building a life and business that feel authentic, meaningful to YOU, and sustainable.

Take a Moment to Reflect

What values guide your work?

How do you navigate those moments when chaos feels louder than clarity?
