Episode 16: Rediscovering Your Why: Living by Your Values with Foster Wilson
In this inspiring episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, we sit down with the multitalented and creative Foster Wilson, who describes herself as compassionate, creative, nerdy, and weird. Through her open-hearted conversation, Foster dives deep into how she reconnects with her “why” and filters her life decisions through her core values of connection, growth, self-expression, and freedom.
Foster shares her unique values filtration system, explaining how it helps her align decisions, projects, and relationships with what truly matters. From her creative roots as an actress turned director to her focus on authentic living and personal freedom, Foster reminds us that the key to fulfillment is living life on your own terms rather than through the expectations of others.
This episode is for anyone who feels pulled in different directions and wants to come back to what’s most important. Whether you’re a creative, an entrepreneur, or someone seeking balance, Foster’s wisdom on self-discovery, alignment, and empowerment will inspire you to live more intentionally and courageously.

Featured Guest: Foster Wilson
Director, creator, and storyteller driven by compassion and creativity
Advocate for authenticity, self-expression, and personal freedom
Believer in living life guided by one’s “why” and core values
Key Takeaway:
Before saying “yes” to anything, ask: Does this align with my values? Your “why” is your compass — follow it unapologetically.
Ways to Engage: Create your own criteria/filtration system for your why and your values (think of connection, growth, self-expression, and freedom as examples). You can also write it down to see how it changes over time. Use this whenever you have an important decision to make or are questioning if something aligns with your why.
