Ep. 191: Do I Matter? The Power of Feeling Needed & Valued

Do I matter? It’s a small question with a lot behind it—for our kids and for us.

Feeling noticed, valued, and needed can shape how we experience our families, friendships, workplaces, and communities. In this episode, Sara Kuljis & I talk about the book Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection & Purpose, by Jennifer Breheny Wallace.

We explore the idea of mattering and how everyday interactions can help us communicate one of the most meaningful messages we can offer: You matter, and your presence makes a difference.
