So, are you one of those people who like to pick a word to reflect your intention for the year?

Well, I am! It took a bit, but I finally figured out my word for 2026, and it’s actually 2 words – meaningful connection.

I chose this as my intention for the year because I feel like I’m emerging from the sabbatical cocoon that was a big part of last year.

And also because of the joy and fun I had leading my Impact and Income Accelerator mastermind, where I guided a group of both new and seasoned consultants and coaches through my Partnership Setup approach to landing strategic, high-paying clients.

While the learning was powerful, the real magic was the connections forged within the group and the mutual support given and received.

It's for this reason that I wanted to kick off my 2026 podcast season by having the group on the show!

Tune in to hear real-world tips and insights into:

How to hone clarity and confidence in the value of what you do

How to convey that value when landing potential clients so that they are excited to invest in your strategic partnership

And why you must get better results with these things and more when you make meaningful connections with people who share your vision, values, and struggles (beyond the one-on-one work type experience they get with me)

Tired of going it and growing it alone? Good! You're not meant to.

Tune in now to learn why meaningful connection might be the very thing you need to accelerate your success and impact in 2026!
