A Little Gift From Me to You:
For the season 1 finale of my podcast, I did a 10-ish minute tutorial on how to choose your word for the year. It’s a practice I’ve been doing myself for over a decade, and I had constantly been asked for a how-to. People who’ve done the exercise say it has brought them a lot of peace and clarity. You can find it here. If you’re comfortable, I’d love to hear your word once you’re done – find me on social or drop a line to lala@lalajackson.com
