HeyJaredThis Year's Word with Courtney Symes
Imagine if a single word could change your life. This was a theory I wanted to test a few years ago when, instead of setting New Year’s resolutions, I selected a Word of the Year to live my life by. In this podcast series, I share my Word of the Year experience.

How to awaken to your identity, desire, and possibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself a question that sounds simple, but is actually surprisingly difficult to answer? What do I really want? Not what do I need to do. Not what should I want. Not what would make everyone else happy. But what do I actually want? For many of us, that question becomes harder to answer as life gets busier. We become very good at knowing what other people need from us. We know what needs to happen at work, what our family needs, what needs to be organised, paid fo

Have you ever had one of those moments when you suddenly realise that you've been moving through your life on autopilot? You're getting up, going to work, looking after the people you love, answering emails, doing the shopping, making plans, ticking things off your list… and before you know it, another week has passed.

Perhaps you’re spending your time in ways that don’t reflect what you say matters most. Maybe you’re constantly saying yes to other people while quietly wishing you had more space for yourself. Or
What do you REALLY want: how to align with your values, needs and the person you’re becoming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When was the last time you stopped and asked yourself what you actually want? Not what you should want. Not what your family needs from you, or what your workplace expects, or what would make other people happy. Not even what you wanted five, ten or twenty years ago. But what you want now. It’s an interesting question, isn’t it? Because most of us are very good at knowing what needs to be done. We know the appointments that need to be made, the emails that need answering, the people who need us,
