As a new year approaches, this episode offers a quieter, gentler way to step forward without the pressure of resolutions, self fixing or starting over. Instead of focusing on what needs to change on the outside, this conversation centers on intention, nervous system safety and choosing how you want to feel as you move into 2026.

In this episode, I talk about why traditional resolutions often fail, especially after heartbreak, grief, divorce or long seasons of survival, and why choosing one word can be a more supportive and grounding way to move forward. I share my word for 2026, peace and explore what it really means to live with steadiness, self compassion and internal safety.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to yourself and choose a fresh start that actually begins on the inside. If you are entering the new year feeling tired, tender or quietly hopeful, this conversation is for you.

If this episode resonated with you, take a moment to reflect on your word for the year and what you want to carry forward. You can share your word in the comments or simply hold it close as a reminder of how you want to feel moving into this next chapter.
