Personal Journeys: We share personal stories and reflections on how words like "profit," "purpose," and "peace" have shaped our lives, both professionally and personally. Tools for Selection: Learn practical tips on how to select a word that resonates deeply with your goals and aspirations. Stories of Transformation: Be inspired by real-life examples, such as my sister's journey from "sparkle" to "glow," demonstrating the profound change that a guiding word can bring. This episode is not just about listening but actively participating in setting a course for meaningful growth and transformation in your life. By the end of our conversation, you'll be equipped to choose your own word of the year and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. ----- All Heart & Soul's Details: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.heartandsoulmastermind.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the mastermind program:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.heartandsoulmastermind.com/heartsoul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi to Mariah on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@mariahmckechnie Say hi to Monique on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@moniqueforcier Leave a review on the Apple Podcast app and the Spotify app: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
