Send me a message to let me know what you like and what you'd like to see more of. You can also send me a question for me to answer on a future episode.

In this episode, I tell you why you want a word of the year, how to choose it, and how to use it.

I choose a new word each year, and I use it as a guide to help me make decisions.

Last year, I chose the word fun, and it was a good choice, but it wasn’t the best choice. I chose fun because I wanted 2023 to be the opposite of 2022, and fun was definitely missing from my 2022.

At the beginning of the year, I was intentional about my word, and it helped me leave my comfort zone, and because I focused on it, I recognized fun opportunities I might have missed.

But as the year progressed, I became less intentional about it, and I started saying no to things because I didn’t want to spend the time or money doing them, or I didn’t want to have to change my clothes or put on makeup. I even passed up on an opportunity to meet Mark Walburg because I didn’t feel like going by myself to where he was promoting his tequila in the middle of the work day.

Then, I describe the event that caused me to realize that I was ignoring my word and how this realization caused me to adopt two new words so that I was able to fully live into fun the last several weeks of the year.

I share my word for 2024, along with several examples of how I’ve been living into it so far, and I wrap up by giving you suggestions and tips for your word of the year.

I’d love to hear what your word is and how you plan to use it. Send me a DM or post in the Facebook group.
