Value

Wildheart S11E5: What is it to know your value?

In this week’s episode we chat about value vs values, and how our relationship with these concepts impacts our lives.

Why have we chosen to talk about value?

  • Summer is often considered a season of ‘productivity’ - both in terms of the fullness and abundance of the wild world in this ‘fruitful’ phase of the year, and also in terms of the busier way of life we tend to be called towards during the summer months

  • Very often, productivity is a concept that’s linked with a reward of some kind - whether financial or status-based, which in turn is connected to the question of value, so we thought it would be an interesting theme to dive into as we enter the heart of the summer season here in June

What do we chat about?

  • Separating the idea of worth from the financial meaning, and moving away from commodifying everything

  • Building a life (ecosystem) that intertwines value with values (and why this is so hard!)

  • Valuing as the act/process of cherishing - honouring the preciousness of life

  • Valuing our own uniqueness
