8. How to Choose a Word of the Year with God (A Grounded, Intentional Approach)

I’m getting really honest in this episode.I’ve picked words of the year before—but I’ve never really slowed down, reflected, or dug back the way I did this time. And honestly? I didn’t expect it to impact me the way it did.In this episode, I walk you through the exact word of the year exercise I did myself. Not the polished version. Not the “quick prayer and move on” version. The real one—where I looked at what I walked through this past year, what stretched me, where I grew, and what I’m craving for the year ahead.This wasn’t about choosing a word that sounds good.It was about choosing a word that actually grounds how I live—especially in the chaos, pressure, and mental load of motherhood.As I share my own process, you’ll be invited to walk through it too, including:Reflecting on the past year without getting stuck or spiralingNaming what you’ve carried, survived, and grown throughGetting honest about what you actually want for the year aheadAsking God for a word that’s Spirit-led—not performance-drivenChoosing a word that becomes a place to return to, not another thing to manageThis exercise surprised me. The word I landed on wasn’t what I expected—it wasn’t about doing more or fixing more. It was about presence. And that’s how I knew it mattered.If you’ve ever felt like your days are getting away from you, or like life feels noisy and scattered, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re allowed to slow down, reflect, and choose how you want to live.If you want to walk through this process for yourself without overthinking it, I created a simple, guided reflection you can download and use on your own.👉 Get the free Word of the Year guide here:https://theunstucksahm.myflodesk.com/wordoftheyearSave it, come back to it, and let it be something you return to when life feels chaotic.Connect with me!IG: @theunstucksahm
