When stress hits, old defenses take over – overexplaining, people-pleasing, perfectionism, interrupting, even going silent and shutting down. The APPs MAP helps leaders understand these patterns and begin the inner work to reclaim calm, confidence, and choice so they can show up authentically and powerfully.
Most people approach values work intellectually. They:
❌ Pick words from a list
❌ Take an assessment
❌ Get a printout of their “top values”
And then… they’re stuck. Because words on a page don’t change your life.
Knowing your values intellectually won’t transform you.
Living them will.
Because values work isn’t about finding words that sound nice. It’s about finding what’s real.
And once you do, you’ll have something you can trust – something that, no matter how lost you feel, always leads you back to yourself.

On the journey of life, there’s a delicate and complex balance between honoring our own wellbeing needs and values, and fostering healthy connections with others. This complex balance is held in check by one fundamental element: boundaries. It is my sincere hope that within these words, you will find solace and inspiration, a gentle nudge towards reclaiming your Authentic Self and embracing the power of boundaries.
