In this episode, Cortney walks through a grace-filled, descriptive (not prescriptive) way to discern your Word of the Year. Instead of focusing on choosing the “perfect” word, she shares stories from her own life — Words like Intentional, Peace, Dwell in Grace, Choose Courage, Joy & Play, Delight, and Harmony — and how each one shaped her rhythms, decisions, and growth in surprising ways.

You’ll explore:

• what a Word of the Year really is (and what it’s not)
• how to let your Word emerge from your season
• why your Word doesn’t have to last 12 months
• how themes, desires, and repeated nudges play a role
• the question Cortney asks all her clients: “Who are you becoming?”
• simple prompts for choosing a life-giving, God-led Word

If you’re feeling pressure to pick the “right” word, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
