Join this powerful conversation with Vanessa De Jesus Guzman on navigating the journey of womanhood.

We know how much words can hold weight, but they can do more than be a definition: they can also be used to shape your journey! By choosing a word of the year, we can redefine what is important to us, allow it to guide us through the process, and actively attain the goals or changes we envision.

These three steps are key to developing a change or mindset different from a traditional New Year’s Resolution, but can still help us practice what we need to do to be where we want to be.

What's your word of the year? Join Vanessa De Jesus Guzman on a journey that helps you plan your guiding word journey!
