Last year my word was SLOW
And honestly, it saved me 🥹
I had a baby
I HAD to slow down
Which, if you know me, is not my natural state 😅
Yet even while “slowing down”, I ended up fully booked in my business from Jan to June - for the first time (woopwoop) and then in Oct I enrolled in my PhD (another woop) - without sacrificing my postpartum experience or presence with my babies!
So yeh - I def needed the reminder to go SLOW - which ended up more like “be presentbepresentbepresent” lol and it reallyyyyy served me 💪💪
But this year?
This year feels different…
This year feels BIGGGG
So my word for 2026 is precisely that: BIG
And I already know I’ll be reminding myself all year:
Go big
Be big
Do big things
Make big decisions
Take up space
What you’re doing is big
Your impact is big
(U get the idea…)
The difference this year though is that I won’t JUST be about reminding myself, I’ll be acting on it too
I won’t JUST be saying affirmations and fingers crossed something will happen, I’ll be doing the inner work to shift s**t
I won’t JUST be preaching generic quotables because it’s what everyone’s saying and sounds good, I’ll actually be embodying it
Because in theory it does sound good, right?
But in practice - how to actually take up space, trust yourself, believe in yourself? What that looks and feels like? …is a whole other story
I already know that it won’t necessarily FEEL good, sometimes it’s hard af, uncomfortable af, and even triggering af to do this work (and when I say sometimes I mean a Lot of the time 😬😅)
Which is why we do well with accountability, guidance, hand holding, reminding… structure, systems, tools….
So that’s why I decided that I’m gonna do a workshop on it - and asap!!
(I’m thinking the 16th….)
In the meantime I’ll leave you with this:
Embracing your bigness requires that you stretch your comfort zone to meet your future self
Create space for all that you are and all that you’re becoming
Familiarize your nervous system with your bigness
Expose yourself to it
Let yourself feel it
Name it
Own it
Practice holding it
Because what’s unfamiliar to your system will be resisted
