This week, Alicia talks about how to live your values and put weight behind them, taking a look at two recent stories in New Zealand current events. We look at the Starship Foundation's rejection of a donation from gambling proceeds, and pay parity for the Black Ferns, to ask: what does it mean to really live your values? How do we accept challenges and failures as opportunities to make a stand? What happens when we don't? Enjoy!
