Summary

January can feel like a strange in-between place — the decorations are down, the routine is returning, and yet so many of us still feel a bit foggy, stretched, or unsure where to begin again. If that’s you, this clip offers a simple, grounding way to ease into the year with more clarity and intention. In this short Moment, I share one of my most loved New Year practices: choosing a word of the year. It’s a beautifully straightforward tool that helps you zoom out, reconnect with the bigger picture, and gently guide your decisions through the year ahead.  I picked this Moment because it cuts through the pressure of resolutions and long to-do lists. Instead, it offers a way to anchor yourself in what truly matters, even when life feels busy or overwhelming. In this Moment, you’ll learn: How to zoom out and get perspective before you set any goals Why one word can guide your whole year better than resolutions The words that supported me through big shifts in motherhood and work A simple way to set three clear, meaningful goals for 2026 It’s a gentle and inspiring way to start the year with focus, ease, and a renewed sense of what you want 2026 to represent.
