Taking the Check-Up one step further
- Circle the traits that describe your family

Living a priority-driven life is about being true to the essence of who you were created to be.
Many people lose their identity in relationships as they take on a co-dependent relationship.
Keep in mind the person who married you, married you because you were you – you were not them. Be you.
