What if choosing a word could help guide your year, your decisions, and your actions? In this episode, I share one of my favorite year-end traditions: choosing a word of the year. It's become a personal practice that serves as an aspirational anchor, something I can return to when faced with decisions and opportunities throughout the year.

I'll reflect on how my 2025 word, "breakthrough," and you'll hear the word I've chosen for 2026. Whether you've chosen a word before or are new to the practice, I'll walk you through how to select a word that resonates with your goals, and I'll share why pairing that word with a companion word helps you embrace the full experience of the year ahead.
