Editor’s Note: Welcome to 2025: A Year of Radiance and Resilience

Happy New Year, Live Out Loud Sisters! 🎉 As we step into 2025, let us embrace the theme of radiance and resilience. This is the year to live unapologetically, pursue purpose-driven goals, and lean into the fullness of who we are.

Well, my new year started off with a bang — and not in the way I had hoped! I was struck with COVID and spent seven days in quarantine. It was a tough way to begin the year, but it also gave me time to reflect on what truly matters: health, peace, and the power of slowing down when life demands it. Coming out of that experience, I’m more determined than ever to prioritize self-care and encourage each of you to do the same.

Last year taught us valuable lessons on perseverance, prosperity thinking, and the power of sisterhood. Now, it’s time to build on that foundation. Let’s set our intentions for 2025 with clarity and focus. What’s your word for the year? Mine is Radiance — to shine my light, fully and unapologetically.

Together, we will reflect, reimagine, and reinvent ourselves this year. Let’s make every moment count!

Here’s to a year of growth, love, and abundance! 💖

With love and light,
Mechel Miller,
Founder, Live Out Loud

A new year means a fresh start! Here’s how to embrace change and step into your best self in 2025:

1. Reflect: Take time to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished and lessons learned. Ask yourself, "What did I overcome last year? What am I proud of?"

3. Reinvent: Create actionable steps to turn your vision into reality. Start small and build momentum. For example, if you want better health, commit to a 10-minute daily walk or a healthier morning routine.

Good Health: Healing Harmony Tea Recipe for Cleansing and Respiratory Support

Healing Harmony Tea Recipe:

Dosage and Storage:

• Dosage: Drink 1-2 cups of Healing Harmony Tea daily, preferably in the morning and evening for best results. Adjust the quantity as needed based on your body’s response.

• Storage: Store the dried herbs in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Once brewed, the tea can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before drinking.

Why It Works:

This tea blend combines three powerful herbs that work synergistically to support your body’s natural detoxification process and respiratory health:

• Mullein: Acts as an expectorant, helping to loosen and remove mucus from the lungs while reducing inflammation.

• Blackberry Leaves: Rich in antioxidants, these leaves support immune function and help reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract.

• Burdock Root: Known for its blood-purifying properties, burdock root helps cleanse toxins from the body, promoting overall health and vitality.

By drinking this tea regularly, you’ll promote clearer breathing, a stronger immune system, and a cleaner internal environment.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp Mullein

• 1 tbsp Dried Blackberry Leaves

• 1 tbsp Burdock Root

• 4 cups Water

• Honey or lemon to taste (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

2. Add the Mullein, Blackberry leaves, and Burdock root to the water.

3. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

4. Strain the tea into a cup.

5. Add honey or lemon if desired.

Benefits:

• Mullein: Soothes the respiratory system and reduces inflammation.

• Blackberry Leaves: Supports immune function and has antioxidant properties.

• Burdock Root: Purifies the blood and aids in detoxification.

Self-Care Practices to Add to Your Routine:

• Stretch for 5 minutes each morning.

• Take a tech-free hour daily to recharge your mind.

• Incorporate deep breathing exercises throughout the day.

Skill Builder: Set Yourself Up for Success in 2025

This Week’s Skill: Goal-Setting and Time Management

aking control of your time and setting intentional goals are key steps to living fully and achieving more in 2025.

Overview:

Many people start the year with big resolutions but lose momentum by February. The key to staying on track is breaking your goals into smaller, manageable actions and ensuring your time is aligned with your priorities.

Here’s how to approach goal-setting and time management in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose a Word of the Year:

   • Reflect on what you want to focus on this year.

   • Your word could be Balance, Courage, Growth, or Radiance.

2. Set SMART Goals:

   • Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve.

   • Measurable: Track your progress.

   • Achievable: Set realistic goals.

   • Relevant: Make sure your goals align with your values.

   • Time-bound: Set deadlines to stay motivated.

3. Create a Daily Ritual:

   • Start your day with a practice that helps you focus, like journaling or meditation.

   • Use your Live Out Loud Journal to reflect on daily progress.

4. Break Down Your Goals:

   • Take one big goal and break it into smaller weekly or monthly tasks.

   • For example, if your goal is to start a wellness routine, your first task might be to walk for 10 minutes a day.

5. Review Your Progress Weekly:

   • Set aside time each week to evaluate your goals.

   • Adjust your actions as needed and celebrate your wins.
