What if a single word could change the entire direction of your year?
In this episode, I share one of my favorite year-end rituals: choosing a Word of the Year — a simple, powerful practice that helps teens, parents, and school counselors move into 2026 with clarity, intention, and emotional grounding.
Instead of setting resolutions that fade by February, one word becomes a compass. A filter. A steady anchor you return to when life gets overwhelming.
You'll learn:
✨ Why choosing one word is more effective than traditional resolutions
✨ How parents and counselors can guide teens through a meaningful reflection process
✨ Easy activities to bring your word to life (vision boards, lock screens, micro-goals, and more)
✨ The questions that help kids identify what they truly need in the year ahead
✨ My personal word for 2026 — GUIDED — and the story behind why I chose it
This episode will help you and the young people in your life release the pressure of perfection, connect with inner wisdom, and step into the new year feeling calmer, clearer, and more empowered.
What’s YOUR word for 2026?
Send me a DM or email and share the word that will guide your year.
Perfect for:
