In today's episode, I share my personal end-of-year tradition: choosing a guiding word for the new year. Unlike traditional New Year’s resolutions, this practice helps me set an intention that helps guide my growth and mindset throughout the year. I recount my experiences with this tradition, from my past words to my current word for 2025! (You'll have to hit play to find out what my 2025 word is!)

This simple but powerful practice has helped me focus on what I can control, shed old habits and beliefs, and embrace a journey of self-discovery and growth. Whether you set resolutions, choose a word, or create your own tradition, this episode invites you to reflect on the past year and look ahead with intention and purpose.

What you'll learn through this episode:

• How choosing a guiding word for the year can provide focus and inspiration
• The difference between resolutions and setting intentions
• Insights into embracing personal growth, even through challenges and change
• Tips on selecting a meaningful word that resonates with your goals and values
• How to focus on what you can control and create a positive path forward
