The Power of One Word to Shape a Year

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to episode 14, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this episode of the Woman Uncaged Podcast, we dive into one of our favorite end-of-year rituals: choosing a Word of the Year. As we record in December, we’re both deep in reflection mode, looking back at the words that have guided us in past seasons and feeling into what might want to shape the year ahead. We share how this practice first came into our lives, how it has evolved, and why we now approach certain words with a bit more side-eye than we used to. We talk about the difference between choosing an intention versus a goal, how a single word can act as a lens through which life reveals unexpected wisdom, and how sometimes that wisdom arrives with a biting sense of humor. We explore the emotional, spiritual, and deeply human terrain of naming what we want more of and what we’re ready to release. We also reflect on how this practice helps us notice our own pendulum swings between extremes, how it reveals the quiet places we still seek external validation, and how it invites us to care for ourselves, our bodies, and our lives in more intentional ways. And of course, we’d love to hear from you: Do you choose a Word of the Year? What has it opened up for you? Join us for this thoughtful, funny, honest conversation as we welcome the turning of the year together. Support the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
