Imperfectly Impactful with Cat Roten

Choosing a Word of the Year for 2026


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my word of the year for 2026. This isn’t about picking a trendy word or something that sounds impressive. It’s about choosing a word that actually shapes how I show up in life, work, and every single day.

If you listened to last week’s episode on my 2025 reflections, this will feel like a natural continuation. If you didn’t, this episode still stands on its own as an invitation to simplify what doesn’t need to be so complicated.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why I choose a word of the year.
  • Moving from worthy in 2025 to simplicity in 2026.
  • How my priorities are shifting from business-first to a more holistic life focus.
  • Simplifying my business offers, systems, launches, and team structure.
  • A reminder that your word doesn’t need to be mine, but it should support real change
  • Also highly recommend listening to the below episode to explore your word through human design, including Nicole Laino’s work: https://nicolelaino.com/podcast/episode434
