Everything can’t be equally important all at once.

Values Framework

Instead of trying to narrow everything down into “3 Core Values” as traditional business and marketing advice suggests, I created an entire framework to guide myself, my business, my movement, and my purpose. It has made it much easier to prioritize, make decisions, and share the beauty of Healthy Humaning in a meaningful, easily understandable way.

Each category takes a different area, perspective, or experience into account. By sharing this information I am able to tell you what I hope you will see and experience, while still leaving room for you to think, feel, and do whatever works best for you. This approach has allowed me to simplify my message and my choices, and has become a favorite teaching tool.

Participant

Value Statement: "I empower Healthy Humaning participants to (re)discover their inherent worth through curiosity, clarity, and intentional living."

When I think about, talk to, or write through the lens of participant values I have in mind anyone who is actively choosing to participate in Healthy Humaning. These values reflect the qualities that Healthy Humaning seeks to nurture in its community members and clients. I want people to experience feeling seen, known, and loved. I want them to feel empowered. I want them to find or feel their inherent self-worth, even if it’s only by a fraction, a little more every time.

  • Curiosity drives exploration and understanding. It’s the spark that challenges assumptions, deepens connections, and invites participants to learn, grow, and transform.

  • Clarity empowers action. By fostering transparency and self-awareness, Healthy Humaning helps participants see their path forward with confidence and purpose.

  • Intention gives depth to action. It’s about moving through life thoughtfully, making choices that align with one’s authentic self and desired outcomes

Healthy Humaning

Value Statement: "Healthy Humaning is a movement designed to cultivate a better lived experience through empathy, compassion, and community."

This is the BIG picture lens. The idealistic, fundamentally change the entire way the world operates, if I could wave my magic wand and achieve anything lens. If every person got to experience empathy and compassion from the beginning, and was given the information, tools, and skills to develop compassion and empathy, thriving communities would be the natural byproduct. Thriving communities are the key to a better lived experience for all because they are born of compassion and empathy.

  • Empathy is the cornerstone of connection. By fostering a deep understanding of others’ feelings and perspectives, Healthy Humaning creates a foundation for authentic relationships and meaningful growth.

  • Compassion is empathy in action. It’s the driving force behind Healthy Humaning’s commitment to supporting others in their journeys while extending kindness to oneself and the world.

  • Community is where individual growth meets collective strength. Healthy Humaning believes in the power of shared experiences and connections to inspire and sustain positive change.

Company

Value Statement: "At Healthy Humaning Institute we believe accessibility, inclusion, and accountability are critical elements of cultivating change."

These values guide how Healthy Humaning operates as an organization. This is the experience I want anyone to have when they interact with Healthy Humaning Institute in any capacity, anywhere. While it’s a process, takes practice, and some pieces require more resources to implement than others, I know that these things belong as top priorities. Especially in a world that does not value or prioritize these values in general.

  • Accessibility ensures that Healthy Humaning’s resources and programs are available to everyone who can benefit. It’s a commitment to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for all.

  • Inclusion celebrates diversity and invites every voice to the table. Healthy Humaning creates a space where everyone feels valued and seen.

    “All humans are welcome, all behaviors are not.”

  • Accountability is the backbone of integrity. Healthy Humaning holds itself to high standards, owning its impact and continuously striving for better.

Business

Value Statement: "I choose to run my business with integrity, gratitude, and authenticity as an example of how Healthy Humaning can be practiced in business."

Healthy Humaning is a movement first and foremost. The values of Healthy Humaning Institute as a business ensure the growth and sustainability of the movement through structure and resource generation. As a business it also serves as a model for others who wish to create businesses outside of the current social and structural norms.

  • Integrity is the foundation of trust. It’s about doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and staying true to Healthy Humaning’s mission and values.

  • Gratitude acknowledges the interconnectedness of all success. Healthy Humaning thrives on appreciation for its community, its impact, and the journey.

  • Authenticity is the soul of Healthy Humaning. It’s a promise to lead with honesty, vulnerability, and courage, inviting others to do the same.

Client

Value Statement: "I recognize and honor the choice(s) clients make to work with me by being fully transparent in the value, commitment, and effort required to achieve their desired results."

These values set the expectations for the relationships built with those engaging with the Institute. They serve as anchor points to ensure that we are fulfilling our end of a mutually beneficial arrangement, as well as informing the values we look for when accepting clients who choose to financially invest in their Healthy Humaning journey.

  • Transparency builds trust. By being clear, honest, and forthright, Healthy Humaning sets the standard for authentic and ethical client interactions.

  • Commitment underscores the promise to show up fully. Whether it’s through programs, coaching, or community efforts, Healthy Humaning is dedicated to delivering value and fostering growth.

Career

Value Statement: "I validate my purpose in life by asking for and staying open to opportunities that allow my passion and brilliance for Healthy Humaning to shine through."

As someone who spent most of her life feeling like she had little more to be and do than “just” a wife and “just” a stay-at-home mom, I decided it was important to set some priority values for myself in terms of career. A way to keep myself on track as an owner and a leader and act as a compass for my dreams.

  • Opportunity is the foundation of empowerment. By recognizing and creating opportunities for growth and connection, Healthy Humaning helps individuals and communities thrive.

  • Passion infuses purpose into every endeavor. It’s the energy that sustains the work and inspires others to join the movement.

  • Purpose is the compass that keeps Healthy Humaning aligned with its mission: creating better-lived experiences through empathy, connection, and growth.

Personal (Internal)

Value Statement: "I thrive when I maintain growth, creativity, and balance as the guideposts for alignment in all areas of my life."

I was raised and conditioned by much the same world you were. A world that taught us who we are, what we need, and how we thrive is a problem. In order to fully invest myself in a movement I whole-heartedly believe in, I must have a clear understanding of who I am, what I need, and how I thrive. So while these values are personal to me and my internal world, they still fundamentally shape how I show up and what I create.

  • Growth is the heartbeat of Healthy Humaning. It’s the commitment to continuous evolution, learning, and improvement, both as individuals and as a collective. Without growth, we stagnate—and Healthy Humaning is anything but stagnant.

  • Creativity fuels new ideas, fresh perspectives, and unique solutions to life’s challenges. It’s not just about artistic expression but about finding innovative ways to connect, thrive, and live authentically.

  • Balance ensures sustainability. By honoring the interplay of effort and rest, ambition and stillness, Healthy Humaning creates a foundation for harmony in our lives and relationships.

Personal (External)

Value Statement: "I stay invested in my efforts to project safety, wisdom, and effective leadership towards others and use trusted feedback to make necessary adjustments."

I can’t control how others experience or perceive me but I can choose to show up in a way that exemplifies the way I hope I am seen and experienced. By clearly sharing how I wish for people to see me, and acting accordingly, I make it easier for others to find evidence that aligns with my vision. Because these values are mine, and because I am creating this movement, they still ultimately shape how the Institute—and those who engage with it-impacts others and the world.

  • Safety is non-negotiable. It creates the trust necessary for authentic connections and growth. At Healthy Humaning, safety is the fertile ground where vulnerability and courage take root.

  • Wisdom is the bridge between knowledge and intentional action. By embracing wisdom, Healthy Humaning encourages discernment and thoughtful decision-making that aligns with core values.

    1. Leadership in Healthy Humaning is about inspiring and empowering others to take ownership of their lives. It’s a call to model authenticity, courage, and growth, inviting others to follow suit.
