March Forward: Word of the Year
Today’s Heal Talk Tuesday is a reflection on renewal, heritage, and choice. As many Orthodox cultures celebrate Christmas on January 6, I honor the deeper meaning of this day. Not only as a spiritual observance, but as a reminder of togetherness, reflection, and honoring who we are at our core.
As we begin a new year, many women come to me feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of who they are becoming. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that awareness itself is the beginning of transformation.
Today, January 6, is Christmas for many Orthodox nations and cultures, including Armenians. While I was christened Catholic, this day has always held a deep cultural meaning for me as an Armenian woman. It was a day my grandmother honored, a day centered on reflection, renewal, and togetherness. Not necessarily in a religious way, but in a very human way.
As we move forward into a new year, I want to remind you that renewal does not require force. It begins with awareness. Many women come to me saying they feel lost, foggy, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. We live in a world filled with chaos, and yet we forget that everything we are is energy. How we speak, how we move, and how we choose to move forward all matter.
The Word of the Year is…
Every year, I choose a word that becomes the center of my clarity. This year, my word is marching forward. Not rushing. Not forcing. Marching forward with intention and self-reflection. Slowing down enough to honor yourself and to ask, “What do I want to carry forward, and what am I ready to leave behind?”
Just because it is a new year does not mean everything has changed overnight. But every single moment offers a choice. Every hour can be the moment your shift begins. For me, that begins each morning with gratitude, before I even get out of bed. A simple pause. A moment of presence. And then I move forward.
Awareness is the beginning of everything. It is the space where you reclaim your voice, your energy, and your sense of self. This is not about fixing or forcing. It is about allowing yourself to move forward with grace, trust, and compassion.
As always, I invite you to place your hand upon your heart and your hand upon your core. To awaken love, hope, and faith within yourself. Because when you honor who you are, you remember this truth: you matter.
Additional Tools
HealWithin also offers audio recordings for sleep, stress reduction, and self-esteem.

Can I Hypnotize Myself?
Yes, it’s called self-hypnosis. Hypnotherapy empowers you by providing tools to manage stress in your daily life. You can learn self-hypnosis techniques, enabling you to enter a state of relaxation whenever needed. These techniques can be practiced at home, allowing you to take control of their stress levels independently. My audio recordings can help guide you.
Self-hypnosis is so powerful that I have undergone several dental surgeries without anesthesia or painkillers. You can see me on YouTube having dental surgery with only self-hypnosis.
More Information
My Recommended Audio Recording
I have made audio recordings for self-hypnosis specifically to address certain issues. I recommend the Build Confidence and Stress No More recordings. Download the recording and save it to your device for listening. Find a quiet and comfortable place as you allow hypnosis to happen.

Welcome to Heal Talk Tuesdays with Liza, where
transformation begins as we evoke, embrace, and evolve.
Greetings Greetings Greetings Greetings and
you’re welcome to Hill Talk Tuesday. This is Liza.
It’s so good to be here with you, isn’t it?
For all Orthodox nations and nationalities and also my Armenian friends,
Shnaha Vord, North Arin Yevsurthirunde.
May this Christmas they be a celebration of God’s grace and may His light be upon you.
As we say in Armenian, Shnaha Vord and Yev, Asu, Gom Koth, Ushgarabu Thun, Ser Milutun.
So today is Christmas for so many Orthodox
nations around the world, also for Armenians.
And while I was christened as Catholic, this day has always
had a deep cultural meaning for me being an Armenian,
grandma celebrated this day, my family, and realizing that one centered
reflection renewal and it’s an honoring of our heritage and culture.
It’s not necessarily a religious way, but in a way of human way, togetherness.
So, as we move forward before I go further, I want you to be, how do I say this?
I want to remind you that on this coming Monday, January
12th, I will be having my workshop at HealWithin.
We’ve got few spots for the vision board workshop
where we’re going to do a self-reflection vision
boarding and also self-hypnosis so we can embed
everything that we want when we desire it onto the board.
And also, when we do the self-hypnosis, it’s
embedding and banking in our parts desire.
What is it that we desire? What is it that we want?
Because as we enter and start this new year,
I hope you came up with a word for yourself.
Like, I think every year has its own powerful word. I choose my word
every year and I make that word like it’s the center of what drives me.
What helps me be clear for the year.
And this year, it is the power of marching forward.
So, it is, of course, it’s the year of the Fire Horse.
It is a new year. It’s the new beginning, but it is self reflection.
How do we go deep within honoring yourself?
And it’s about slowing down. I’m getting messages
because I get women who come over here and
it’s like, I am lost, I am enough fog, I am struggling, I want to go back to who I am.
So, marching forward is what we are going to do.
Because when women talk to me about, I am exhausted, I feel
disconnected, I don’t feel like myself, it’s realizing that it’s about
self reflection and slowing down because we live
in a world of such chaos that it’s happening.
We are what? Energy.
Every essence of who you are is truly an energy.
So, how you speak, how you move, how you even strive forward.
Are you moving forward or are you stuck?
I hope you realize that everything is a choice.
Everything is a choice.
So, it’s about your belief. It’s about the role that you take.
It’s the choices that we make. And, of course, taking ownership.
Just because it’s a new year doesn’t mean everything has changed.
Say yes.
Because every new day, every single hour can be the moment that our shift happens.
Right before I get out of bed, I do my own gratitude.
I use free gratitude. What am I grateful for? What am I grateful to?
And how is my day to be? That’s it.
And then I get out of it. It’s like sitting in tension before
my day starts, not after two hours and that day starts.
Okay?
So, this Monday, I will put the link you can go
to Eventbrite and look for Visionboard Glendale.
And sign up. We already have few sign ups.
And because the seats are limited and it’s going to
be a private group, I would love to have you with us.
It’s a nominofy. We’re going to be as private. It’s going to be wonderful.
It’s like new friendships, new beginnings, and self-reflection.
And also self-empowerment.
Because nothing in life, I say this to everyone.
Nothing trumps self-prite when you are proud of yourself.
Because everything that we accomplish, guess what? No
matter who helps you, no matter who pushes you forward.
No matter who supports you, but I’m lying, you’re doing the work.
So, when you sleep, you may sleep with someone, but you are sleeping.
When you do anything, you are the person who’s doing it.
Because there is no one just like you. No one has the same fingerprints on either.
So, it’s not about fixing, it’s not about forcing, but allowing.
Allowing yourself to march forward and move forward this year.
So, guess what? Just awareness in itself is the beginning of everything.
So, a space that you can choose what you want to carry forward.
In what you are ready to leave behind.
What’s already passed? It’s passed.
Correct? So, on this day, again, today, January 6th, I honor
many of nationalities, European nationalities, and cultures
who are celebrating this day as the Christmas. And I invite
you to honor your own strengths, and also your inner light.
We don’t always have to have answers, but we start with a choice, a decision.
And sometimes renewal begins with this quiet moment.
As always, place your hand upon your heart.
Mm-hmm. One, two, three.
It’s as if tapping, awakening your heart, awakening your heart to be open.
And one hand on your tummy to awaken this core, your intuition.
As we say, “Sir, hu’s havak, sir is love, hu is hope, and havak is faith.”
Because that’s all we need.
When we have the hope, the faith within ourselves,
when we have so much love within ourselves,
and with the grace of God, we honor,
appreciate, and expect, not expect, but accept.
Who we are. This is exactly how each and every one of
us come to stand up for everything, for who you are.
When you show up, show up in life, and be ready.
And that’s when we speak up. It’s not against
anyone, but knowing that you have a voice.
You do. The country that I was born, you’re born, right now, is right rising.
And the people are rising and saying, “No more we want
our freedom. We want something better in our country.”.
And that’s exactly where every where is. We want something better. Do you not?
Just want something better for yourself. If you do
everything for your family, start with you as well.
So, today can be the start of your day. So choose to march forward and just fight.
I promise to always stand by you and hold your hand.
A part of the work that I do as a hypnotherapist is to awaken
you to your own inner wisdom, to your own inner choices.
Because the subconscious mind has everything
already embedded and banked in here.
Why I say, “Bank it in.” The workshop that we
do, the vision board, yes, we cut and paste.
We will have music. We will have laughter. We
will have being so centered and reflecting.
What do you want your entire year to be? So many
put a goal. We put marketing strategies together.
We put business plans together. We put some,
even do the whole year planning of all their
vacations when they’re taking vacations. But
we forget how to honor our body and ourselves.
If this message resonates with you, join me. I
will stand by you so I can walk to walk with you.
And if there is need me, guess what? As I say, I guide you
because there is a part of you that is the child within.
There is a part of you that is the adult within and the parent. We have all three.
The parent is always there to hover and look upon perhaps even show you the way.
The adult is the decision maker. The one that takes action.
And the inner child is the one that wants to be pampered and cherished by you.
So let us do this together. I am Elizabeth Barrie, your expert
hypnotherapist and always standing by you guiding you for you to tap within.
This is how we evoke. This is how we embrace
and how we involve to the next phase.
You know why? Because you matter.
That’s all the message I have for today. Until
next week, let us march forward with God’s grace.
And may God’s light be upon you and always surround you with the universal light.
See you then.
Merry Christmas on Idon. Amen to that. Join us on Idon. See you.
Bye bye, Ezzie.
And this is Liza Boubari, your expert hypnotherapist.
If this message resonated with you, let’s connect. You’re not alone.
