Reflecting on the Year of Freedom

As the year winds down, I’ve been sitting with our 2025 word: Freedom. When I chose it, I didn’t know exactly how it would unfold. I just knew I was craving it — in my life, my choices, my voice.

Looking back, I see how Freedom wove itself through every month. We began with magical beginnings, planting seeds of possibility. We claimed empowerment. We built momentum. We aligned ourselves with what mattered most. And now, here in December, we step into radiance — the light that shines because of all the freedom we chose along the way.

But here’s the truth: Freedom hasn’t always felt easy. It’s come with tough choices, boundaries that stretched me, and moments where I stood alone. And yet, those same moments are the ones that made me shine brighter. Freedom doesn’t arrive wrapped in perfection — it arrives in the small, steady decisions to keep choosing yourself.

This year has reminded me that Freedom isn’t just a word. It’s a practice. A daily commitment to live in alignment, to let go of what’s heavy, and to trust that I am worthy of a radiant life.

As you reflect on your own year, what did Freedom look like for you in 2025? Was it a choice, a release, a moment of courage, or something else entirely?

Write it down, share it in the comments, or whisper it to yourself. Claim it. Freedom belongs to you, too.
