Équilibre - Returning To Balance: A Word for the Year

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Season 2 of the Reverse Reset Restore podcast. This episode is number one in a series of 10 where I'll be sharing my Word for the Year and why I believe having a Word to focus on is more effective than a New Years Resolution. This year, I've chosen Équilibre, the French word for balance, as a guiding theme for the year and in this episode I talk about how that choice collided with illness,  what I refer to as “the wobbles,” and a body that insisted on being heard. Instead of chasing perfection, I want to explore balance as a living relationship: noticing when something is off and returning with awareness instead of criticism.Across this 10 part episode, we trade resolutions for a single grounding word and unpack why that shift reduces shame and increases follow-through. I've broken the word Équilibre into nine touchstones—Experience, Quantum, Unique, Intention, Loved, Ignite, Becoming, Rhythm, and Exuberance—to make the concept usable in real days with real limits.  In the upcoming episodes, you’ll hear how each of these sub-words help set boundaries, protect energy, and invite joy, even when rest feels unproductive or progress moves in tiny steps.We also get practical, in this episode and the ones to come; You’ll learn a brief breath ritual to anchor choices, questions to help your own word find you, and a compassionate way to navigate seasons when work, health, or grief demand more.Download the free Équilibre workbook here: The workbook focuses on my word, but I’ve created room for you to build your own.Balance isn’t static or universal; it’s contextual and seasonal. Sometimes it looks like sleep. Sometimes it looks like a hard truth. Always, it asks for intention. If you’re craving a kinder structure for change, this episode offers a map back to center—and an invitation to choose a word that feels like a hand on your back.
