Have you ever felt the weight of a new year pressuring you to redefine your life with just one word? I'm Shannon Morton, and in this heartfelt episode, I unravel my personal journey through self-growth and healing as the calendar flips to 2024. Despite the allure of holiday cheer, I found myself in a funk, questioning the necessity of following the trend of selecting a New Year's word. Through candid discussions, I share how stepping back to engage in self-communication and confronting life's tough questions led me to discover my word for the year: TRUST. It's a reflection of my evolving journey to trust in the larger plan, my abilities, and the ever-unfolding process of change. This episode is an intimate exploration of the realizations that come with giving oneself grace and the empowerment found in showing up for oneself without the constraints of trends.

As we wrap up the current series, the excitement for what's ahead is palpable. I invite you to join me on January 31st when we unveil our intriguing inaugural topic of the new year. I encourage you to interact and share your voice in this journey through our social media channels—your thoughts and feedback are the lifeblood of our conversation. Remember, while my experiences and insights aim to enlighten and inspire, I am not a licensed mental health professional. This podcast serves as a companion in your informational quest, but for professional advice or treatment, make sure to seek out the appropriate resources. Here's to a year of learning, growth, and embracing the power within us to engage with the world in our own unique way.
