Welcome to the Step Into Purpose podcast with your host, Lydia Gillman. In this special New Year’s episode, we’re diving into the transformative power of setting intentions and choosing a guiding word for the year ahead. As we leave 2024 behind and step into the blank canvas of 2025, this is your moment to reflect, release, and realign.

In this episode, I’ll share:

• The magic of starting fresh with a new year.
• My personal journey with my 2024 word, Surrender, and how it shaped my year.
• How I’ve chosen Depth as my word for 2025 and what it means for my personal growth.
• A step-by-step process to discover your own guiding word for the year.
• Journaling prompts and reflective practices to support your intention-setting journey.

Plus, I’ll share:

• A powerful visualization exercise to imagine yourself at the end of 2025.
• Why facing a little fear in your chosen word is a sign of growth.
• Practical tips to keep your word front and center all year long.

Resources Mentioned:

• The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer (highly recommended!)
• My free mini-course: Thrive with Self-Worth – a three-part email series to help you release limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors.

Reflect and Take Action:
