12. My Word of the Year: HONESTY (and it’s not exactly what you think)

Resilient with Jessica Boarman

In this introspective episode, Jessica dives into her Word of the Year for 2025: Honesty—a word that’s challenging her in unexpected ways. Reflecting on years of choosing guiding words like Discipline, Present, and Joy, Jessica shares how those intentions laid the groundwork for a year focused on accountability, self-awareness, and emotional growth.

Through heartfelt storytelling, Jessica opens up about what Honesty truly means to her. It’s not just about telling the truth—it’s about being honest with herself: confronting her health habits, reclaiming her time from distractions, and facing long-avoided emotions. She reflects on the limitations of the “fake it till you make it” mindset and how embracing vulnerability is key to lasting progress.

Jessica also offers practical steps to help listeners identify and live out their own Word of the Year, drawing inspiration from Jon Gordon’s One Word That Will Change Your Life. This episode is an invitation to step into 2025 with clarity, intention, and a commitment to personal growth.
