There’s a reason so many people set goals every year and still feel stuck, resistant, or disconnected from the life they’re trying to create.

It’s not because they’re undisciplined. And it’s not because they didn’t want it badly enough.

In this episode, I’m sharing the single practice I would prescribe to anyone who wants a better year and why it works when goal setting often doesn’t.

For more than a decade, I’ve chosen a Word of the Year instead of traditional goals. And I’ll be honest, I didn’t always do it well. I used to choose words that came from my wounded self. Words rooted in effort, fixing, or pushing.

Everything changed when I realized this practice isn’t about what you want to achieve. It’s about how you want to feel living your life and who you’re becoming along the way.

This episode is about why the end feeling leads the outcomes, how words anchor identity, and why the right word gives your nervous system and brain something they can actually follow.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• You set goals but struggle to stay connected to them
• You know what you want logically, but something in your body resists it
• You’re tired of forcing clarity or motivation
• You want a year that feels aligned, spacious, and true
• This conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• How choosing a Word of the Year creates an identity anchor, not pressure
• The behavior loop (that goal setting doesn't take into account)
• How my own Words of the Year (from Delight to Led) shaped some of the hardest and most magical years of my life
• Why your next year doesn’t need more effort, it needs the right energy leading it

This is why I host the Word of the Year Party every year.

I’ll walk you through my signature process for choosing the word that will guide your energy, decisions, and growth in 2026.

You don’t need clarity before you come.
You don’t need to already have a word.
You just need curiosity.

There’s a business growth shift almost no one talks about because it’s not about strategy, content, or doing more. It’s about identity.

In this episode, I’m sharing a subtle but powerful realization that came from a simple interaction and how it points to one of the biggest reasons so many business owners stay hidden, underpaid, or overlooked even though they’re incredibly gifted.

We talk about the difference between being a person who connects and uplifts others versus unconsciously shrinking your own visibility. We explore how sister wound conditioning can turn business into an either/or game and why true growth actually comes from a yes, and approach.

This episode is an invitation to stop positioning yourself as the bridge to other people’s power and start letting people meet you.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• You’re always promoting others but hesitating to fully claim your own authority
• You downplay your gifts in the name of being supportive or collaborative
• You’re waiting for more credentials, validation, or permission before being seen
• You know you’re meant to be chosen, but something keeps you holding back

This conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why “yes, and” is the antidote to either/or thinking in business
• How "sister wound" conditioning shows up in visibility and leadership
• The difference between honoring others and hiding behind them
• How owning your gift actually creates more abundance for everyone
