This episode of Homeschool Better Together dives into the concept of choosing a word of the year and how it can add intentionality and focus to your homeschool journey. I’m joined by Dawn Garrett, our community manager, as we share our personal experiences, thoughts, and even some fun quirks about selecting and living out our yearly words.

From the practical to the reflective, we talk about how a word of the year can shape your mindset, guide your decisions, and create a more purposeful year ahead. Whether you’ve been hesitant or are a seasoned word chooser, there’s something here for you, including tips on avoiding perfectionism and embracing the process. We also introduce our upcoming workshop, where we’ll help you choose your word and explore ways to live it fully.

Key Takeaways:

• Words of the year as tools for personal growth and homeschool focus.
• The difference between setting goals and choosing a guiding word.
• How to reflect on, engage with, and incorporate your word into daily life.
• Details about our Align Workshop and how it ties into Elevate Homeschool 2025.
