Happy New Year beautiful souls! Welcome back to the podcast. To best set the tone of each year, I always choose a word or theme for that year and I want to share my Word of the Year for 2026 with you and that word is Expand.

True expansion begins with mindset, allowing new possibilities without pressure or perfection.

Being open to opportunity means choosing curiosity over control and trusting yourself as things unfold.

Expansion is about growing wisdom and alignment, not just results or productivity.

You’re invited to reflect on where you’re being called to expand gently, authentically, and on your own terms.

This will be the last episode before we return in 2026. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

In this empowering episode, transformation coach and podcast host Sheilamida Friedman shares how gratitude became her greatest superpower, taking her from food stamps to first-class living.

She reveals how genuine gratitude shifts energy, transforms mindset, and attracts abundance, helping anyone move from survival mode to a life of freedom and joy.

5 Key Takeaways:

Gratitude is more than words, it’s an energetic connection that rewires your mindset and attracts abundance.

You can practice and strengthen gratitude daily until it becomes a natural superpower.

Gratitude allows you to live in duality, to experience challenges yet quickly return to peace and positivity.

Acting “as if” and feeling grateful for future desires helps align you with the life you dream of.

True success isn’t about money or doing more, it’s about time freedom, self-awareness, and inner fulfillment.

In this inspiring episode, TEDx speaker and entrepreneur Carla Singson shares her journey of courage, reinvention, and self-awareness in pursuing her dreams over and over again.

From overcoming fear, shame, and uncertainty to redefining success as peace and authenticity, Carla’s story reminds us that confidence and joy come from leaning into what feels true and right for you.

Key Takeaways:

Audacity means honesty with yourself: having the courage to go against the grain and live life on your own terms.

Self-awareness is key to knowing when to persist and when to pivot; sit with yourself and listen to what feels right.

Overcome fear by releasing shame: failure is simply tuition for growth, and your effort will never betray you.

Confidence grows from competence and perspective: practice your craft and remind yourself that the worst-case scenario often isn’t that bad.

Redefine success as peace: true success is living authentically, valuing inner calm over external validation or wealth.

In this heartfelt year-end reflection, Lucy reminds listeners that even when it feels like they didn’t achieve much, quiet growth and inner transformation still count as powerful progress.

She encourages embracing gratitude, grace, and self-compassion while redefining what success truly means before stepping into a new year.

Key Takeaways:

Growth isn’t always loud, even slow, quiet seasons hold valuable lessons.

Confidence is built in the stillness, not just in achievements or recognition.

Redefine success by honoring who you’re becoming, not just what you’ve accomplished.

Gratitude turns every experience, even detours, into part of your journey forward.

In this empowering episode, Lucy Liu speaks with stress prevention coach and author Erin Harrington about how to transform stress into success using her Stress Less Blueprint. Erin shares her personal journey from burnout and health challenges to discovering the mind-body connection and the power of conscious choice in regulating stress.

✨ Key Takeaways:

Stress prevention is more powerful than stress management — it begins with awareness and intentional daily choices.

The body often signals stress long before the mind recognizes it; learning to listen can prevent burnout.

Erin’s Stress Less Blueprint centers on purpose, productivity, and peace for holistic well-being.

High-achieving women must break the link between self-worth and productivity to truly thrive.

The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another, and we have 35,000 chances a day to make that choice.
