Episode 126: Hear Me Out: Choose a "Need of the Year" Instead of a "Word of the Year"

Hello, hi and welcome to the final episode of Medium Lady Talks for 2024! As we look ahead to 2025, I’m sharing a new and impactful approach to guide your personal growth: choosing a need of the year instead of a word of the year.

In this episode, I explore why focusing on your needs can help you take more intentional and meaningful action to support your emotional and mental well-being. Plus, we’re spinning the “Wheel of Needs” to dive into four powerful areas: Honesty, Purpose, Stability and Hope. I also introduce the importance of joy and contribution as essential needs that recharge our emotional batteries and remind us of our capacity to make an impact.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why "words of the year" often fall short and how needs provide a more actionable focus.
- How to identify your own need for 2025—and how to start meeting it.
- Ways to bring lightness, fun, and meaning into your year through play and small contributions.

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel equipped and inspired to choose a guiding need for 2025 that aligns with your values and supports your well-being.
