Choosing a Word of the Year for 2026

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my word of the year for 2026. This isn’t about picking a trendy word or something that sounds impressive. It’s about choosing a word that actually shapes how I show up in life, work, and every single day. If you listened to last week’s episode on my 2025 reflections, this will feel like a natural continuation. If you didn’t, this episode still stands on its own as an invitation to simplify what doesn’t need to be so complicated. In this episode, I talk about: Why I choose a word of the year. Moving from worthy in 2025 to simplicity in 2026. How my priorities are shifting from business-first to a more holistic life focus. Simplifying my business offers, systems, launches, and team structure. A reminder that your word doesn’t need to be mine, but it should support real change Also highly recommend listening to the below episode to explore your word through human design, including Nicole Laino’s work: https://nicolelaino.com/podcast/episode434 Resources: Connect on Instagram – @cat.roten Interested in weekly updates?
