Nourishing the Mother

NTM 498: Less pressure, more purpose: Why you need a word of the year


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed by resolutions that fizzle out before February? In this episode, we explore a simpler, more purposeful way to guide your year: choosing one word. But what about the fear of locking in a word and experiencing the fallout if it doesn’t live up to your hopes? We’ll unpack why this fear holds us back from creating what we truly want and how to shift it. Discover how a single, intentional word can help you stay focused, aligned, and inspired—without the pressure of rigid goals. Find out how to choose your word, embody it daily, and let it become your compass for a more grounded, meaningful year. Because sometimes, less really is more.


In this episode we discuss:

- Balancing the pressure of a new year with gratitude for the previous year

- Feeling a sense of lack because we’re looking at our year in a silo

- Interacting with your word of the year

- Knowing your word will sit differently depending on the season you’re in

- Dancing with and embodying your word

- Experiencing the light and dark of your word

- Choosing a word that allows you to expand in creative ways

- Being open the form your word takes and holding the fear

- The manifestation of your word will be present in your top values but the form may be different

- Holding fear around choosing a word

- Do more with inspiration towards your future rather than avoiding a pain of the past

- Holding back and tiptoeing around what we fear will happen

- Imagining a bigger vision that is fulfilling to grow towards

- You can use your word gently or to bludgeon yourself with; it’s your word to move with
