Ep. 120: What Do You Really Value (and Why Monday Tells the Truth)?
What if the way you feel about Monday isn’t about laziness, burnout, or a bad attitude—but about what you were taught to value long before you ever had a job?
In this episode, I explore how our relationship with work often traces back to childhood moments when adults—usually unintentionally—taught us what was “worth” caring about. I share a personal story about an early lesson in value, shame, and approval, and how those moments quietly shape the choices we make as adults.
If you hate Mondays, this isn’t about judging you or telling you to “just be grateful.” It’s about getting curious. What are you actually valuing right now? Status? Safety? Approval? Stability? And what might you be sacrificing to protect those things?
This episode is an invitation to look at your relationship with work—and with Monday—without shame. Because sometimes the problem isn’t that you hate Monday… it’s that you’ve been taught to value the wrong things.
