Why My Word for 2025 is ‘Shine’—And Why You Should Choose One Too
Welcome to the first edition of Taylor’d for More—my brand-new weekly newsletter designed for the ambitious, the dreamers, and the ones who know they’re meant for more.
And when I say more, I don’t just mean more success, more money, or more milestones (though, let’s be real, we’re claiming those too!). I mean more alignment, more purpose, more joy, and more confidence in stepping fully into who you’re meant to be.
That’s why I created Taylor’d for More—because I believe we were all made for something greater. We just have to be willing to claim it.
And what better way to kick off this new journey than by talking about how I set the tone for my year?
The Power of One Word
We’re almost through the first quarter of 2025—can you believe it?
By now, most New Year’s resolutions have been… well, let’s just say they’re collecting dust. And that’s exactly why I don’t do resolutions. Instead, a few years ago, I started choosing one word to guide my year. Just one. A word that keeps me focused, challenges my growth, and reminds me of what truly matters.
And let me tell you—it works.
In 2023, my word was alignment. That year, every “yes” had to be in service of my bigger vision. If it didn’t align, it didn’t get my time or energy. That shift alone changed everything for me.
Then came 2024, the year of more. More impact, more opportunities, more abundance, more faith in myself. It was about stepping into everything I deserved—without hesitation. And funny enough, more didn’t just guide my year—it also became the foundation for something bigger. When I was creating this newsletter, the name Taylor’d for More just made sense. Because that’s what this space is about—more clarity, more purpose, more confidence, and more of the life we actually want.
And now, in 2025, my word is SHINE.
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we are all meant to walk in the fullness of who we are. And yet, so many of us hesitate. We second-guess our own brilliance. We downplay our wins. We wait for the “right time” to go after what we really want.
But why should we dim our own light when we were made to shine?
#DreamSzn
This is the season of dreams, and it’s all about owning your ambitions, betting on yourself, and taking real action toward your dreams.
Because dreams don’t just happen. We have to believe in them, plan for them, and execute on them.
Choosing my word each year has been one of the most effective ways to stay grounded in my own journey. It’s a reminder to stay in motion, to keep pushing forward, and to trust that what I’m working toward is already mine.
So if you’re committed to making your dreams a reality this year, picking a word could be the first step in setting the right foundation.
How to Choose Your Word for 2025 (Yes, It’s Not Too Late!)
Maybe you started the year with big goals but lost momentum. Or maybe you never set a resolution because—let’s be real—who has time for something that doesn’t stick?
The good news? You don’t need a new calendar year to set a fresh intention. Whether it’s January, March, or December, choosing one word can give you the clarity and direction you need.
Here’s how to pick yours:
Reflect on the first few months of the year.
Think about how you want to show up for the rest of 2025.
Keep it simple, but meaningful.
Choose a word that challenges and excites you.
What’s Your Word?
Now, I want to hear from you.
If you had to choose one word to guide you through the rest of 2025, what would it be? Drop it in the comments or send me a message—I’d love to hear what’s resonating with you.
And if you’re still figuring it out, that’s okay. Just remember: You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment to reset. You can choose a new focus, a new mindset, and a new direction anytime you decide.
For me, this is the year to shine. Whatever your word is, I hope you step into it fully. Because you are meant for more—so much more.
Let’s make the rest of 2025 count. 🚀
