What if the next stage of your evolution was not about adding more, but releasing what no longer serves you? That question has been tapping gently on my shoulder for months, nudging me to pay attention. Every time I found myself juggling too many projects, too many tabs, too many expectations, I noticed the same quiet truth rising to the surface. It is time to simplify.
Choosing a word of the year is never about a slogan. It is a compass. A filter. A way of aligning decisions with intention rather than urgency. For 2026, Simplify feels like both an invitation and a challenge. It asks me to create more space in my life and business, not by shrinking my vision, but by focusing more deeply on what genuinely matters.
Why Simplify
When you run multiple programs, develop training programs, serve clients across the world, and continue to evolve your own creative work, complexity creeps in almost unnoticed. It arrives in the form of just one more workshop, one more idea, one more task squeezed into an already full calendar. None of it is wrong. Yet if I am honest, not all of it is aligned.
Simplify asks me to look at where my energy goes with clear eyes. It encourages me to let go of the unnecessary layers that make life feel cluttered, whether that is a process, a belief, a piece of clothing, or a way of working that no longer reflects who I am becoming. It invites a quieter confidence. A slower breath. A more spacious rhythm.
This is not about minimalism for its own sake. It is about harmony. Alignment. A life and business that feel coherent rather than congested.
How Simplify Will Shape My Work
Style is a form of communication. The more aligned the elements, the clearer the message. The same applies to business and creativity. Simplify will guide me to refine what I offer so that every program, every training, every piece of content has a clear purpose and a clear energy behind it.
For my clients and students, it means distilling the essential teachings even further so they can create results with less overwhelm and more clarity. The women I work with are already carrying a lot. They do not need more noise. They need thoughtful, grounded pathways that support transformation without pressure.
Simplify is my commitment to stripping away anything that makes style feel complicated or inaccessible. This might show up in cleaner systems, streamlined courses, or clearer messaging that helps women understand the value of style as both science and self-expression.
How Simplify Connects to Personal Style
In style, simplifying is never about being plain. It is about being intentional. When clients declutter their wardrobes, lean into their colour palettes rather than trying to wear every colour, or learn to read their bodies with compassion and precision, they often describe a sense of relief. The noise settles. Decisions become easier. Their confidence rises because they finally know what works for them.
That principle applies to every area of life. When the distractions fall away, your true essence has room to breathe.
Simplify reminds me to live what I teach. To choose the clothes, colours, projects, and relationships that feel aligned with my energy and values. To let go of what is outdated, ill-fitting, or simply taking up psychic space.
The Impact I Want Simplify to Have
As I step into 2026, I want more space for thought, creativity, connection, and joy. I want my work to feel spacious rather than frantic. I want my calendar to support my well-being rather than erode it. I want to deepen the impact of what I already do brilliantly rather than chase breadth for the sake of it.
Simplify is not about doing less. It is about doing what matters with more presence and more heart. It is about trusting that clarity creates momentum. It is about choosing alignment over excess.
And perhaps most of all, it is about allowing myself to evolve in a way that feels honest and grounded. Simplify is my reminder that growth can be gentle. It can be spacious. It can be guided by wisdom rather than urgency.
As you look ahead to your own year, you might ask yourself a similar question. What could simplify look like in your style, your wardrobe, your business, or your life? What layers are ready to be released so that your essence can shine a little more clearly?
I would love to hear your word for the year if you have chosen one. Sometimes clarity begins with a single intention whispered into the new season.
