Have you picked your word for 2026?
Every year, I choose one word to guide how I want to show up — for myself, my relationships, and the world around me.
In past years, I’ve focused on being more intentional, remembering to breathe, and learning to embrace every phase of life with an open heart. Each of those words shaped how I experienced growth, connection, and peace in powerful ways.
As I step into 2026, I’m noticing a different kind of invitation — one that’s softer, quieter, but just as meaningful.
This year, my word is… RECEIVE. 💫
For so many of us — especially as high-achieving women — we’re really good at giving, doing, and holding space for everyone else. But allowing ourselves to receive? That can feel uncomfortable, even foreign.
This year, I want to open myself up to receiving in all its forms:
💜 Receive love — without conditions, without needing to earn it.
💜 Receive support — and remind myself that I don’t have to do it all alone.
💜 Receive rest — without guilt or justification.
💜 Receive abundance — in energy, joy, and possibility.
💜 Receive presence — allowing life to meet me exactly where I am, instead of rushing to the next thing.
Because receiving isn’t passive. It’s a practice of trust.
It’s allowing what you’ve already planted to bloom — without forcing the outcome. 🌸
So this year, I’ll be focusing less on striving and more on allowing.
Less on doing and more on being.
Less on control and more on trust.
Here’s to a year of opening our hearts, our hands, and our lives — to simply receive. 🦋
