Shift 017: Choosing Your Word of the Year Through Numerology

January can feel like a pressure cooker - new goals, new habits, a word of the year… and the quiet fear that if you don’t “pick the right thing” right now, you’re already behind.In Shift 17, I’m sharing a different approach: using your Personal Year in numerology to choose a Word of the Year that actually matches the season of life you’re in, so you’re not forcing an intention that creates more pressure, resistance, and burnout.I’ll walk you through how I did this in my Personal Year 9 (hello, Liberation), why I had two words last year, and what shifted as I moved into my Personal Year 1—where my new word arrived effortlessly: Satisfaction (yes… my Generator signature theme in Human Design). Instead of picking a word that looks good on paper, this episode is about choosing a word that becomes a boundary, a compass, and a daily filter for what you’re available for.Inside this episode, you’ll hear:Why “word of the year” pressure can backfire—and what to do insteadHow to use your Personal Year as the energetic foundation behind your wordWhy you’re never too late (your Personal Year runs birthday to birthday, not January to January)How one aligned word can sharpen boundaries, reduce resistance, and create real momentumA simple invitation to revisit your word when your Personal Year changes—without making it “a thing”If you’re ready to stop performing your intentions and start living them… press play.Share your Personal Year + your Word of the Year with me:DM me on Instagram @kimberlysromano or email me at [email protected] if you want to go deeper, the 2026 Reset Workshop is waiting for you on YouTube.✨ If you love these conversations, my weekly newsletter takes them even deeper. It’s part inspiration, part reflection, and part inside access, including first invitations to events, offers, and behind-the-scenes updates I don’t share anywhere else.Come join the conversation and connect with me where it feels good for you:Join the newsletter → https://ksromano.com/joinCatch exclusive content on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@TheConsciousBusinessHubFollow me on IG → https://www.instagram.com/kimberlysromano/Get inspired on Pinterest → https://www.pinterest.com/kimberlyromano
