One year ago, I started reading The Pivot Year by (Great book, BTW.)
Pivot became my word for 2025.
For me, pivot came from recognizing that growth doesn’t always have to come from dissatisfaction. Sometimes it comes from clarity: From noticing what’s no longer working and giving yourself permission to adjust. (Fittingly, my word the year before was permission.)
And now, this next year is a big one. So it has to be a really impactful, powerful word.
I turn 50.
My daughter turns 18.
And my husband and I celebrate 20 years of marriage.
There’s a lot of change, a lot of expansion and with that, a new word has been taking shape. Want to know what it is?
It’s “Unapologetic”.
That word feels a bit scary to me — especially as a recovering people-pleaser.
For a long time, being unapologetic felt like being unkind or selfish. But that’s not the version I’m choosing to bring in 2026.
For me, unapologetic means avoiding over-explaining.
Choosing alignment over anyone’s approval.
Honouring my own energy, boundaries, and values — without any guilt.
And allowing myself to expand without shrinking to stay palatable, likeable or acceptable.
I feel like this word also exemplifies the deep work I do with my clients. When women come into my world – yes, it’s often through nutrition. But what we’re really practicing is learning how to be unapologetic in the quiet, everyday ways — coming back to your own body, setting boundaries around food and time, and making choices that support the season of life you’re in.
If you’d like to work together in this next season of YOUR life, please reach out. Send me a message. Send an email. Or book a free session to discuss further.
Ok...What’s the word you’re carrying into this next year? I’d love to hear it — drop it below if you have one or thinking about it!
