why not today podcast

Season 4, Episode 45 with Leslie Kane

Notes

As we step into 2026, many of us feel pressure to have everything figured out on January 1. In this solo episode of the Why Not Today? podcast, Leslie Kane offers a different invitation, one rooted in clarity, presence, and alignment instead of hustle.

Recorded on New Year’s Eve, Leslie reflects on the power of choosing One Word as a theme for the year rather than setting resolutions that quickly fade. She walks through the Look In, Look Up, Look Out framework, shares how her own word unexpectedly shifted from impact to anchor, and explains why that change mattered even after she had already created graphics and plans around the original word.

You’ll also hear Leslie connect this practice to the timing of the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Horse, reminding us that even seasons of movement require grounding, rest, and direction. This episode is especially for women running a business who want to lead with intention, not urgency.

Episode Highlights

  • Why One Word creates clarity when goals and resolutions fall short 
  • How Leslie used reflection, prayer, and even AI as a mirror, not a decision-maker 
  • What it means to live anchored in a year full of movement and change
