Episode Overview
In this episode, Greg and Alessandra dive into the topic of New Year's resolutions and the intriguing concept of selecting a "word of the year" as an alternative. The hosts and guests share their thoughts on setting intentions and how they approach the process of planning for the New Year. Each guest offers insights into their personal methods, preferences, and challenges associated with traditional resolutions.

- Rochelle: Chooses three words—awareness, focus, and bliss—to guide her actions.
- Hillary: Discusses using tools effectively and setting goals that are flexible and adaptable.
