| 0:00.0 | Hi friend, hi, welcome, welcome, and happy New Year's Eve. It is finally time. We're doing our final |
| 0:15.1 | intention setting practice today. Tonight is the big night. I hope you have a beautiful and nourishing evening plan. |
| 0:24.6 | I know New Year's Eve plans always tend to be overhyped. So having a steady ritual that |
| 0:30.3 | feels really heart-centered and connected to do at some point during the evening is a really |
| 0:35.3 | good way to make New Year's Eve feel purposeful and beautiful and not just like this overhyped thing we have to celebrate and then |
| 0:43.2 | feel really bad the next day, you know. So today, before we dive into that ritual, we are going to |
| 0:49.6 | connect with our word of the year. And now I do this every year. So having a really clear intention is super |
| 0:57.1 | important. And you did that yesterday. Hopefully you wrote it down already and you have that ready. |
| 1:03.0 | And today we are going to find our Word of the Year to make visualizing 2026 even easier, to make answering questions about where to go, |
| 1:16.6 | where to turn, what's the right or wrong thing, having a word of the year is a surefire way |

| 1:35.7 | wrote down yesterday. If you have it written on your phone, just pull it up. If you have it on |
| 1:40.0 | paper in front of you, open that note, looking at the intention that you wrote down, |
| 1:45.2 | that clear sentence you have written, oftentimes our word of the year is hiding as one of the |
| 1:51.6 | words of that sentence, right? Sometimes it's not. Sometimes that intention is more descriptive |
| 1:58.9 | in different ways. It could be a little bit more like ethereal |
| 2:03.0 | in nature and a little bit more abstract. And then we need to find a word that really holds that |
| 2:09.0 | intention inside of it, a word that represents the energy of that intention. And a great way to get there, |
| 2:16.8 | I find, is to feel for the feeling that that intention |
| 2:22.5 | fulfilled is going to bring you in your body. So imagine it's at the end of 2026 and this intention |
| 2:31.5 | that you're setting for yourself tonight has come true. That thing that you |
