Reflections from a sit down with SeekHer Foundation Scholar Dr. Lisa Walker, LPC, PsyD as she shared her personal reflection on innate value as it relates to our relationships.
Her wise words emphasize the importance of staying true to our integrity, values and purpose – reaffirming that our innate value will never lead us astray.
What is an innate value you might ask: What is an example of innate value?
Something that is “innate” is intrinsic or inherent to a person. Similarly, an innate quality is something that is core to a person and remains relatively stable across a person’s lifetime. For example, if “Jasmine” is smart, funny, and courageous at age 20, it’s likely that she’ll continue to be those things at age 50.
Many of us struggle with separating our innate value from how our relationships with others (e.g. romantic, family, friendships) are going. What are some pitfalls we might experience because of this? How can we recognize our innate value, outside of the relationships we have?
I do not believe one can or should separate their innate values from our relationships. My innate values remain the same – personally and professionally. Specifically, I value service to others, respect and consistency. All those values represent who I am irrespective of the person or organization in which I interact.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us, Dr Lisa Walker!

What does a mindset shift you’ve personally experienced or have supported your clients through when it comes to owning our innate value within the relationships we have with others?
The mind-shift that I personally experienced when it comes to owning my innate value within my relationships with others is to never compromise my integrity. I have noticed when I go against my integrity, my values, my purpose… I always fail. If I stay true to my integrity, most of all, I never fail.
