How & Why To Choose A WORD For 2026
In this episode, I share the how & why behind the power of choosing a “WORD FOR THE YEAR” for 2026. Not as a cute new year ritual or “new year, new me” kinda vibe, but as an energetic anchor, an identity based intention & a guiding principle that shapes who you become.
I also share my word from this year in 2025, how it has shaped who I’ve become, the deep lessons, patterns, identity shifts & emotional unravelings it triggered… plus I share my two words I’ve chosen for 2026.
This episode walks you through:
- Why setting a word for the year is so powerful
- How words carry frequency and identity-based intention
- A step-by-step process to choose YOUR word for 2026
- The importance of defining what your word means to YOU
- Reflection prompts/questions to ground you into clarity
- How to create an embodiment plan so your word isn’t something you “set and forget”
- Why subconscious programming + identity shifts are essential if you want real change in 2026
- Why your 2026 will look exactly like your 2025 unless you change your patterns
If you want 2026 to be different…
Your subconscious mind + identity must shift. If you’ve been repeating the same patterns, procrastinating change, or always waiting for January 1st… this episode will feel like a call forward.
