Manage episode 522145007 series 3635226
Are you choosing a word of the year for 2026? In this episode, Dr. Kelsy Vick, a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist and pelvic floor PT, breaks down her full process for creating a meaningful word of the year, building intentional goals, and stepping into a new season with clarity and purpose.
Kelsy shares personal stories from her healing journey, how her 2025 word guided her through challenges, and why taking time away from noise, distraction, and doomscrolling allows deeper alignment. She walks through her previous words of the year, what she’s considering for 2026, and how she chooses goals that actually stick.
Whether you're craving a reset, a rebrand, or a grounded approach to the New Year, this episode gives you practical tools and gentle guidance to create a word that reflects the next version of you — one rooted in intention, presence, community, and trusting something bigger than yourself.
In this episode:
- How to choose your 2026 word of the year
- How to reflect on your past and future themes
