In this episode of Mourning Sips & Soul Shifts on Life With Grief, let's explore the powerful and grounding practice of choosing a word of the year—especially when traditional New Year’s resolutions feel unrealistic, overwhelming, or misaligned during grief.

Rather than focusing on rigid goals, I'm inviting you to choose a single intentional word to anchor you throughout the year. This practice can offer clarity, emotional steadiness, and self-trust while navigating loss, life transitions, and personal growth.

I'm gently walking you through a step-by-step process to discover your word of the year in this episode. Through a few personal reflections and real-life examples, I'm sharing how a word of the year can serve as a compassionate guide through grief, uncertainty, and change—without pressure, perfection, or productivity culture.

This episode is especially supportive for anyone who:

✨ Is grieving and feels disconnected from traditional goal-setting

✨ Feels unsure, tender, or cautious about the future

✨ Wants a more intuitive, grief-informed way to set intentions

✨ Is craving grounding, clarity, and emotional alignment in the new year

Tune in to learn how choosing a word of the year can help you move forward gently, stay connected to yourself, and honor your grief while still allowing space for growth, meaning, and possibility.
