Every year, I choose a word to stay intentional about how I live and work.
Last year was about Growth, and it stretched me more than I expected. I didn’t think there was much room left to evolve, and that’s exactly when a new path showed up.
My word for 2026 is PHOENIX, representing a time to rise with clarity and purpose. It also marks a significant shift in identity. Many of you followed my journey last year as I embraced my gray hair. What started as a personal choice became a symbol of authenticity and confidence.
Growth always requires shedding what no longer fits. To reach your biggest goals and become the person you were meant to be, you must release old versions of yourself. This is how we build a solid foundation for what is next, and I'm ready.
