Rooted in Intention: Choosing Your Word for the Year (Episode 73)
About this episode
Forget pressure-filled resolutions—this episode is all about choosing a word that supports who you’re becoming.
Carrie shares how her past words (Intention → Abundance → Embrace) shaped her growth over the last three years and reveals her word for 2026. You’ll learn why a “Word of the Year” creates deeper alignment than a checklist, how it connects to nervous system support and nourishment, and how to choose a word that truly matches your season of life.
Grab a journal or take this episode on a walk—Carrie offers reflective prompts and simple practices to help you uncover a word that feels rooted, meaningful, and doable all year long.
Whether your year ahead calls for presence, expansion, boundaries, joy, or rest—this episode will help you name it and live it.
