EP 70: Living Authentically with Drew Taylor Cohen

In this episode, Lis Best is joined by Drew Taylor Cohen, an impact consultant, founder and values coach at Chosen Directions. Drew discusses how to unearth your chosen values, why values alignment is so important, and the role values can play in our careers, lives, and relationships.

Drew’s work helps people navigate transitions with confidence and purpose. In this conversation, Drew offers guidance for identifying your chosen values and examples of them in action.  

Drew shares her incredibly inspiring entrepreneurial journey, which includes not only finding her own values and incorporating them across her life, but also intentionally finding a partner on Bumble by putting her values front and center.

Drew gives embodiment prompts and roadmap suggestions for how to integrate your chosen values into “the magic three”: yourself, your relationships, and your work. We conclude with her vision for a more authentic future.
