About this episode

Carrie discusses the concept of choosing a 'Word of the Year' to foster personal growth and alignment.

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.
