We’re back with Season 4 of Grab Your Keys and Go! And what better way to start than by diving into new year rituals—the ones that actually stick.
In this episode, we chat about choosing a word for the year—a simple yet powerful ritual my family uses to bring intention into everything we do. It’s not just about picking a word and forgetting it by February; we weave it into our decisions and actions throughout the year. So far, our words are Deep Love, Unstoppable, and Nourish (we’re still waiting on hubby’s!). We’ve even brought this practice into our son’s school meet-and-greet, showing how these small rituals can ripple into daily life.
Mel shares her family’s yearly summary ritual, a one-page reflection filled with gratitude and all the little moments that made the year special. The key? Keeping it sustainable—so many things drop off if they’re too complicated. That’s why accountability is crucial, whether through visual reminders, voice prompts, or external check-ins.
We also talk about the importance of rest and reflection—taking inward time to reset, feel into what we truly need, and create spaciousness for new ideas. Sometimes, a little external kickstart helps too—like a masterclass or short course to spark inspiration and keep us in action.
Join us as we explore small, sustainable ways to make this year feel intentional, aligned, and full of momentum.
Until next time, live your passion
