Embracing a Joyful and Purposeful 2025
Here we are, standing at the start of a brand-new year, full of possibility and promise. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent some time reflecting on where you’ve been and dreaming about where you want to go. For me, 2025 is all about daring. Daring to dream, daring to try new things, daring to trust God in deeper ways.
As a health coach, author, and busy mom, life is often a juggling act, but this year, I want to approach it with a little more courage and a lot more joy. Let me share some of my plans, dreams, and goals—and maybe they’ll inspire you to embrace a daring year, too.
My Word for 2025: Daring
Choosing a word for the year helps me focus on what matters most. This year, “daring” reminds me to step outside my comfort zone, take risks, and trust God to meet me in those unknown places.
For me, daring means saying “yes” to things I’ve been hesitant about—whether it’s exploring new opportunities in coaching, trying something fun with my family, or writing down stories I’ve carried for years.
What about you? If you could choose one word to shape your year, what would it be?
Fun Bucket List for 2025
While I love setting purposeful goals, I also believe in planning for joy. Life is too short not to sprinkle in a little fun! Here’s what I’m daring to try in 2025:
- Go to a concert featuring one of my favorite singers from the 80s. (Yes, I’ll be singing along, off-key and unapologetic.)
- Roller skate like it’s 1989. I’m not promising there won’t be a few falls, but I’ll be laughing all the way.
- Listen to Christian rock on vinyl. Music has a way of grounding me and bringing back the sweetest memories.
- Draft a memoir of my most memorable Gen-X moments. It’s time to write down those stories that make me laugh, cry, and reflect.
- Take on a home photography challenge. I’ll be capturing unique angles of everyday objects in my backyard, appreciating beauty in the ordinary.
What’s on your fun list? I’d love to hear your ideas—you might inspire me to add more to mine!
Health and Wellness Goals
As a health coach, I know how important it is to focus on small, sustainable changes. This year, I’m daring to challenge myself to prioritize my wellness, not just for myself but to inspire those I coach.
Here’s how I’m keeping it simple:
- Drinking a glass of water before my coffee every morning.
- Taking 10 minutes each day for a gratitude walk.
- Exploring new healthy recipes with my family (whoever tries it without complaint gets a gold star!).
What’s one small habit you can try this year? Let’s take those steps together.
Spiritual Focus: Trusting God in Bigger Ways
Daring to trust God more deeply is my heart’s biggest goal for 2025. This year, I’m leaning into His promises, believing that He has incredible plans—not just for me but for you too.
Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us, “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.”
Isn’t that amazing? Each day is a fresh start, a chance to experience God’s goodness anew.
Daring to Inspire Others
One of my greatest joys is connecting with people, whether it’s through writing, coaching, or simply sharing stories. I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate your health, faith, or dreams alone. Let’s dare to pursue joy, wellness, and purpose together this year.
If you’re ready to make 2025 your best year yet, let’s connect! Whether it’s setting health goals, building new habits, or finding encouragement for your faith journey, I’d love to walk alongside you.
