Your Word of the Year isn’t a specific goal or task—it’s a single word that embodies how you want to live, feel, and show up in 2025. Join me as I share my personal journey with choosing a Word of the Year and how it’s guided me through some of the hardest seasons of my life, including caregiving for my mom with Alzheimer’s.

In this heart-centered episode, I’ll walk you through:

• Reflecting on what made you happy in 2024 and what you’d like to improve.
• Choosing a word that inspires and empowers you to show up as your best self.
• Tips for using your word as a daily affirmation to keep it top of mind throughout the year.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have your guiding word—a simple yet powerful tool to keep you aligned with your intentions and dreams for 2025.
