My Word for 2026 is… FRESH. And the hilarious story behind It. EP175

Happy New Year, Thrivesters!  Today we’re diving into one of my favorite rituals: choosing the one word (or phrase) that becomes your True North for the year ahead. Not a resolution. Not a list. Not pressure in disguise. Just a single grounding idea that guides how you show up, move, and make decisions. I’ve been using a “word of the year” for over a decade, and when I tell you it works…it works. One of my past words, Thrive, ended up inspiring my vision board, my daily screensaver, a feature in Thrive Global, and eventually – yes - the Thrive Hive Podcast. That’s how powerful aligned intention is. I’ve had missteps too. Some words fall flat. Some years fall apart. And that’s all part of the process. This year my word is FRESH. And the story behind it is equal parts hilarious and incredibly insightful. (Spoiler: it started with my husband insisting on “showing up fresh” and me being a bit bratty about it.) Then I thought about this idea of “fresh”.   What if fresh wasn’t a luxury… but a choice? A mindset? A way of living where you stop powering through and start choosing presence, boundaries, rest, clarity, and a fresh approach to the things that matter? Imagine giving yourself: ✨ fresh perspective ✨ fresh habits ✨ fresh grace ✨ fresh energy ✨ fresh beginnings—even in places that feel old Think of fresh as the antidote to “just push through.” It’s not perfection. It’s renewal. We’re stepping into 2026 with fresh energy - shedding the old like the Year of the Snake, and galloping into the new like the Year of the Horse (because yes, we’re talking Chinese astrology too). This year is going to move. And I want all of us ready Thrivesters - not exhausted, not depleted, not dragging yourself to the starting line. Fresh. As. A. Daisy.  Welcome to 2026, Thrivesters. Let’s ride. Let’s go thrive like we mean it.  Links & Resources: Join the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/s...
