Finding Your Values Compass: A Guided Exercise for Fathers with Dr. Jason Frishman (Ep 43)

In this special follow-up to our conversation on redefining fatherhood Jason S. Frishman, PsyD, founder and lead guide at JourneyMen Foundation, invites you to slow down and reconnect with what really matters — through a guided Values Compass exercise designed especially for fathers, but relevant to anyone navigating life’s daily challenges.

This episode is your chance to step away from the noise, breathe, and reflect on the core values that shape how you show up — at home, at work, and in your community. Jason’s approach combines mindfulness, intentional action, and self-reflection to help you move from vague ideals to clear, practical steps you can live out each day.

Whether you’re a dad seeking balance, a leader supporting fathers on your team, or simply someone who wants to feel more grounded — this 15-minute practice is for you.

Takeaways:

• A guided mindfulness moment to reset your mind and body
• How the Values Compass maps your “true north” across four key areas: childhood/ancestral values, individual values, partnership values, and fatherhood/legacy values
• Practical questions to help you identify your current “treasure” or goal
• The power of sharing your compass with family, community, or trusted peers
• Why revisiting your values is essential for resilience and meaningful leadership
• A reminder that fatherhood is a journey — not a solo mission

Sound Bites:

• “You are the one choosing your direction.”
• “Fatherhood is a journey — not something you do alone.”
• “Holding your compass means you’re never truly lost.”

Why It Matters:

Real leadership means showing up for the total individual — not just the part that shows up to do a job. Finding your Values Compass is a reminder that resilience, balance, and community all begin when you choose to get clear on what really matters.
