Over the past few years, I’ve learned what’s best for me when it comes to goal planning for a new year is choosing a word of the year. Choosing a word to focus on feels more balanced than picking intense, strict goals. God has showed me something every year related to these words since I started this practice. And this year, I’m feeling led into gentler way of living.

My good friend, Brooke, and I talk in this episode about:

- A prayer retreat we took together that led me to my word of the year

- How learning to take care of ourselves helps us love others more fully

- An image God gave me at the beginning of 2025 that has started my year with hope for the future

It’s never too late to pick a word to focus on, whether it’s for a year, a quarter, or even a week! I hope this episode helps you see how valuable you are and that taking care of yourself is just as important as (if not more!) than producing.
