YOU'VE NAMED YOUR CORE 5
Now Let's Build a Life That Reflects It
You've identified the values already shaping your admirations, your frustrations and your decisions.
And if you're like most thoughtful people, one of two things is happening right now:
-
You feel clarity—maybe even relief.
-
You feel tension—noticing where your life doesn't fully align with the values you've named.
Both are normal.Â
The thing to remember here is clarity is powerful, but clarity alone doesn't reorganize your calendar, your commitments or your conversations.Â
This is where more people stall.
The truth is…
Most capable adults don't struggle because they lack discipline.Â
They struggle because they're trying to live by values they've never fully integrated into their day-to-day decision making.
So they:
-
Overcommit
-
Say yes out of habit
-
Feel resentment they can't quite explain
-
Make decisions reactively
- Slowly, quietly drift further from what matters
Not because they don't care. It's because clarity without structure fades.Â
The Core Values Academy is where clarity becomes integration.
Inside the Core Values Academy, we move beyond naming your values and into:
- Building a personal decision filter
- Auditing where your time and energy actually go
- Identifying subtle misalignment patterns
- Adjusting commitments sustainably (not dramatically)
- Communicating your values with confidence
This isn't about blowing up your life.
It's about making intentional, intelligent adjustments that compound over time.Â
Picture this...
You know your Core 5.Â
And instead of those values sitting on a worksheet, they begin shaping real decisions.
You review commitments through them. You evaluate opportunities through them. You notice when something feels “off” — and you can name why.
Over time, your calendar starts to reflect what matters. Conversations feel clearer because you understand what you’re protecting.
You stop overcommitting out of habit. You make fewer reactive decisions.
Not because life got simpler.
But because your structure changed.
Inside Core Values Academy, we walk through a practical assessment of where your time, energy and attention are currently going — and where they’re drifting from your values.
From there, you’ll build:
-
A personal decision filter
-
Clear criteria for saying yes (and no)
-
Sustainable adjustments to your current commitments
-
A way to communicate your values without defensiveness or guilt
This isn’t about dramatic reinvention. It’s about steady alignment. Small, intentional shifts that compound.
That’s how clarity becomes lived experience.
Hello, I'm Julia.
If you just completed the Core 5 exercise, I want to congratulate you on doing something most people avoid — you paused long enough to define what matters. Nice work!
And, I know how easy it is to drift from that clarity.
For years, I moved through life meeting expectations—some inherited, some unspoken—without regularly asking whether they still reflected my values.
When I became a mother, that drift became harder to ignore. The pace of life intensified. The stakes felt higher. And I had to confront questions I’d postponed:
What actually matters in this season?
What deserves my time and attention?
What am I unintentionally reinforcing through my daily choices?
Â
Naming my values was powerful. But integrating them required structure.
Over the past two decades—through my work in communications, coaching, mindfulness training and leadership development—I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly:
Clarity feels energizing.
Sustaining it requires intention.
The Core Values Academy grew out of that realization.
It’s not about reinventing your life overnight. It’s about building a steady framework that helps your daily decisions reflect what you’ve already identified as important.
Because when your structure supports your values, life doesn’t become perfect.
It becomes coherent.
"To me, what's most important is the way we show up. Our being rather than our doing. The Core Values Academy offers a standard operating procedure, or an SOP, for each person's authentic, optimal way of being."
Lyndsay Morris, Core Values Academy Participant and Founder of Generation Wellness

Daniel, Team Lead at Airbnb
"This program enabled my team to reach a new level of high performance. By identifying our shared and divergent core values, we've created clarity in why we feel connected to our work, which in turn cultivates trust, partnership and productivity."
Lyndsay, Generation Wellness Founder
"This course breaks the cycle of autopilot living, shifting to an intentional way of living from the inside out. Julia is a master teacher that leads participants through simple exercises to create a system for your optimal way of being. Thank you for this profound course that has already changed my life!"
Ryn, Life Coach
"Julia's coaching is transformative, and I do not use that word lightly. She comes to the work with openness and a calm, honest presence that immediately put me at ease. What stood out to me the most is how I felt truly seen and respected for who I am in the moment as well as my potential within. Julia helps create clarity on a path forward that would be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve on one's own."
Natalie, Financial Planning VP
"The Core Values Academy helped me put into words what my personal core values actually are. Prior to the course, I would recite cookie cutter values. Now, I have a set of meaningful, actionable principles to re-ground myself against and reflect upon when life gets tough."
Connie, Market Researcher
"I did not anticipate the deeper work that would reveal itself under Julia's direction. I've made steps toward both my large and small dreams. Being capable of these things on my own wasn't the issue; knowing where to start and how to maintain momentum is another. Julia has helped me do exactly that!"
Blake, Art Director
"Julia's coaching and exercises have helped me discover and develop who I am and also who I am not."
Tom, Small Business Owner
"I benefited greatly from the Core Values Academy. The most important thing for me was seeing how out of balance my life has become. Family, friends and recreation were very low on the life assessment. I'm making small adjustments regularly, and now I have a clear path to get where I want to be."
Khara, Working Mother
"Not being my authentic self was impacting so many areas of my life. I was living on autopilot in my personal life, at work, as a mother. I wasn't present. I remember Julia saying "how do you want to show up in life?" and that has become a mantra for me. I now have the skills and tools to live my life with more clarity and more intentionally. I cannot thank Julia enough."
