Episode 82 | Choosing Love: Why My Word for 2026 Is Love
In this episode of the Lead with H.O.P.E. podcast, host Dr. Brandi Kelly explores the profound impact of love and hope in leadership.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, Brandi shares personal reflections and leadership insights, drawing powerful lessons from children’s movies to illustrate that love is not merely a romantic idea.. it is a strategic, intentional force that builds connection, fuels growth, and strengthens courage.
Brandi also unpacks the Science of Hope, highlighting its cognitive components, goals, pathways, and agency, and explains how love fuels each one. When leaders lead with love, they create environments where people feel safe, valued, and empowered to pursue meaningful goals.
This episode is especially for female leaders who are tired of carrying leadership alone. You’ll be reminded that community matters, connection is essential, and leadership becomes truly transformational when love and hope work together.

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,520
Thanks to Commissary for their
belief, their belief in the
12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,480
power of story to create
connection, clarity, and hope.
13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,960
This episode releases.
We're right on the edge of
14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Valentine's Day and this is a
holiday that reminds us that
15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,720
love, connection, and people
matter most.
16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,320
Each year I choose one word to
guide my life, my leadership, my
17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,400
relationships, and the way that
I show up in the world.
18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,000
And for 2026, the word that I
chose is love.
19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,640
I'm not talking about the
fluffy, romantic kind of love.
20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,080
I'm talking about the
intentional, daily, sometimes
21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,720
messy kind of love.
That kind that shows up when
22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,560
things get hard, the kind that
listens before it speaks, and
23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,440
the kind that leads even when it
would be easier not to.
24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,640
My husband and I have decided to
do the Love Dare for 2026 since
25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,320
this is the word that we chose
and we have been grounding our
26
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,680
days in scripture and in
devotion with that book, and it
27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,320
is helping us keep our focus on
love.
28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800
If you've been around me any
amount of time, you know how
29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,760
deeply I love my grandsons.
I love being a Nana.
30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Those boys are pure joy to me.
And some of my favorite moments
31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,000
these days are the simple ones,
the moments when we sit on the
32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,280
couch and we have snacks
everywhere and we are watching
33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
the same movie on repeat.
Here's the thing.
34
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Those children's movies have a
funny way of teaching us some
35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,880
pretty profound lessons about
life and about leadership.
36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Let's take Cars, for example.
Lightning McQueen.
37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880
He starts out and he is obsessed
with winning.
38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,160
He's fast cut chow.
He's talented, but he's also
39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,080
alone.
It isn't until he slows down and
40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,880
connects with other people in
Radiator Springs.
41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,240
He builds relationships with
some of the other cars, like
42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Sally and Mater.
He learns to care.
43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,840
That is when he becomes the
leader that he was truly meant
44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600
to be.
Another movie that I've been
45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360
watching a lot, Frozen One and
Frozen 2.
46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,360
It reminds me what love really
is.
47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,160
Love is not that romantic act at
all.
48
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Love really is about sacrifice.
It's choosing someone else's
49
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,520
well-being over your own.
It's choosing love over fear.
50
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,240
And then the most recent movie
that one of my grandsons
51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,240
introduced me to is Planes.
And in planes, Dusty learns that
52
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,520
believing in himself is fueled
by encouragement, belonging, and
53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,520
people who see his potential
before he does.
54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,400
When I watch these movies with
my boys, I am reminded that love
55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,800
is the foundation for growth.
It is the foundation for
56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200
courage, and it is the
foundation for hope.
57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
Let's take a moment to thank
Craig Williams.
58
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,680
He is the founder of Commissary,
a legacy sponsor of the Lead
59
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,240
With Hope podcast, and a partner
that truly aligns with what we
60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600
believe here.
Around here, we talk a lot about
61
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,480
hope and how hope grows when
people feel seen, heard, and
62
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,440
confident in their own voice.
Commissary helps make that
63
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,040
possible by guiding authors,
leaders, and change makers and
64
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,080
telling their story with
clarity, courage, and purpose.
65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Their work goes far beyond
publishing.
66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,080
It's about helping people slow
down, get grounded, and step
67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,200
fully into who they are and what
they're called to share.
68
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Whether it's a book, a message,
or a brand, Commissary brings
69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,680
intention, strategy, and heart
to every part of this process.
70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,320
If you know you have something
meaningful to say, but you want
71
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,200
to share it in a way that fills
authentic and aligned, this is a
72
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,440
team worth paying attention to.

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,000
them through the Spark Hope
website.
75
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400
We're deeply grateful for this
partnership and for the belief
76
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,000
in the power of story to create
connection, clarity, and hope.
77
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Now, I was talking about the
movies that we've been watching
78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,080
on repeat these days, Cars and
Frozen and Planes, and thinking
79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,800
about those movies.
This connects perfectly with the
80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,680
work of Doctor Rick Schneider
and the science of hope.
81
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Yes, hope has a science to it.
Snyder teaches us that hope
82
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,920
isn't just a feeling, it's
actually a cognitive process, a
83
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,840
thinking process, and it's built
on three components.
84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,840
The first component is goals,
something meaningful to move
85
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520
towards.
The second is pathways,
86
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,120
believing that you can find ways
forward.
87
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Multiple pathways move towards
your goals.
88
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,160
And the third is agency, a
belief that you matter and you
89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,600
can act and produce the
outcomes, achieve your goals.
90
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200
And here's what we don't
frequently say out loud,
91
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,160
especially not in leadership.
Love fuels all three goals,
92
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960
pathways and agency.
When people feel loved and
93
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,760
valued, they set braver goals.
When leaders create environments
94
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,720
of care and connection, people
people see pathways instead of
95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560
walls.
And when someone feels like they
96
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,800
belong, their sense of agency
multiplies.
97
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,960
That's why love isn't soft
leadership, it's strong
98
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,920
leadership.
Love creates safety, safety
99
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,960
creates trust, and trust creates
hope.
100
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,120
As female leaders, we often
carry so very much.
101
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,320
We're leading our families,
we're leading our teams.
102
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,160
We support other people,
sometimes at the expense of
103
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,840
ourselves and choosing love of
in life and in leadership means
104
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,520
that you're leading with
compassion and healthy
105
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520
boundaries.
You're holding high
106
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,400
expectations, and you're doing
it with humanity.
107
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,640
You're creating spaces where
people feel seen, supported, and
108
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,760
capable.
And let me say this clearly, you
109
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,000
are not meant to do this alone.
None of us are.
110
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,960
And that's exactly why the Spark
Hope community exists.
111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,880
It's a supportive, empowering
community of female leaders.
112
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,960
You are tired of carrying it all
alone, and you're ready to lead
113
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,800
with hope and purpose, and yes,
with love.
114
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,640
Inside this community you will
find encouragement and
115
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,800
connection, practical leadership
tools rooted in the science of
116
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,560
hope, a space where you can
pause, exhale, grow, and lead
117
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,200
authentically.
If your heart is craving
118
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,680
community, if you're ready to
choose love as a leadership
119
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560
strategy, and if you believe
hope is something we build
120
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400
together, I want to invite you
to join us.
121
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,560
You'll find the link to join in
the show notes.
122
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,120
As Valentine's Day approaches,
my hope for you is this.
123
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Choose love and how you lead.
Choose love and how you speak to
124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
yourself and choose love and how
you show up for others.
125
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,440
Because when love and hope work
together, leadership becomes
126
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,600
transformational.
Until next time, friends, keep
127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,760
leading, keep hoping, and always
lead with hope.
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,600

00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,320
is helping us keep our focus on
love.
28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800
If you've been around me any
amount of time, you know how
29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,760
deeply I love my grandsons.
I love being a Nana.
30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Those boys are pure joy to me.
And some of my favorite moments
31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,000
these days are the simple ones,
the moments when we sit on the
32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,280
couch and we have snacks
everywhere and we are watching
33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
the same movie on repeat.
Here's the thing.
34
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Those children's movies have a
funny way of teaching us some
35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,880
pretty profound lessons about
life and about leadership.
36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Let's take Cars, for example.
Lightning McQueen.
37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880
He starts out and he is obsessed
with winning.
38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,160
He's fast cut chow.
He's talented, but he's also
39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,080
alone.
It isn't until he slows down and
40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,880
connects with other people in
Radiator Springs.
41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,240
He builds relationships with
some of the other cars, like
42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Sally and Mater.
He learns to care.
43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,840
That is when he becomes the
leader that he was truly meant
44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600
to be.
Another movie that I've been
45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360
watching a lot, Frozen One and
Frozen 2.
46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,360
It reminds me what love really
is.
47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,160
Love is not that romantic act at
all.
48
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Love really is about sacrifice.
It's choosing someone else's
49
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,520
well-being over your own.
It's choosing love over fear.
50
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,240
And then the most recent movie
that one of my grandsons
51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,240
introduced me to is Planes.
And in planes, Dusty learns that
52
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,520
believing in himself is fueled
by encouragement, belonging, and
53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,520
people who see his potential
before he does.
54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,400
When I watch these movies with
my boys, I am reminded that love
55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,800
is the foundation for growth.
It is the foundation for
56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200
courage, and it is the
foundation for hope.
57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
Let's take a moment to thank
Craig Williams.
58
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,680
He is the founder of Commissary,
a legacy sponsor of the Lead
59
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,240
With Hope podcast, and a partner
that truly aligns with what we
60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600
believe here.
Around here, we talk a lot about
61
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,480
hope and how hope grows when
people feel seen, heard, and
62
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,440
confident in their own voice.
Commissary helps make that
63
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,040
possible by guiding authors,
leaders, and change makers and
64
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,080
telling their story with
clarity, courage, and purpose.
65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Their work goes far beyond
publishing.
66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,080
It's about helping people slow
down, get grounded, and step
67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,200
fully into who they are and what
they're called to share.
68
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Whether it's a book, a message,
or a brand, Commissary brings
69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,680
intention, strategy, and heart
to every part of this process.
70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,320
If you know you have something
meaningful to say, but you want
71
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,200
to share it in a way that fills
authentic and aligned, this is a
72
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,440
team worth paying attention to.

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,000
them through the Spark Hope
website.
75
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400
We're deeply grateful for this
partnership and for the belief
76
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,000
in the power of story to create
connection, clarity, and hope.
77
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Now, I was talking about the
movies that we've been watching
78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,080
on repeat these days, Cars and
Frozen and Planes, and thinking
79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,800
about those movies.
This connects perfectly with the
80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,680
work of Doctor Rick Schneider
and the science of hope.
81
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Yes, hope has a science to it.
Snyder teaches us that hope
82
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,920
isn't just a feeling, it's
actually a cognitive process, a
83
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,840
thinking process, and it's built
on three components.
84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,840
The first component is goals,
something meaningful to move
85
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520
towards.
The second is pathways,
86
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,120
believing that you can find ways
forward.
87
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Multiple pathways move towards
your goals.
88
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,160
And the third is agency, a
belief that you matter and you
89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,600
can act and produce the
outcomes, achieve your goals.
90
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200
And here's what we don't
frequently say out loud,
91
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,160
especially not in leadership.
Love fuels all three goals,
92
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960
pathways and agency.
When people feel loved and
93
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,760
valued, they set braver goals.
When leaders create environments
94
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,720
of care and connection, people
people see pathways instead of
95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560
walls.
And when someone feels like they
96
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,800
belong, their sense of agency
multiplies.
97
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,960
That's why love isn't soft
leadership, it's strong
98
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,920
leadership.
Love creates safety, safety
99
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,960
creates trust, and trust creates
hope.
100
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,120
As female leaders, we often
carry so very much.
101
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,320
We're leading our families,
we're leading our teams.
102
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,160
We support other people,
sometimes at the expense of
103
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,840
ourselves and choosing love of
in life and in leadership means
104
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,520
that you're leading with
compassion and healthy
105
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520
boundaries.
You're holding high
106
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,400
expectations, and you're doing
it with humanity.
107
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,640
You're creating spaces where
people feel seen, supported, and
108
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,760
capable.
And let me say this clearly, you
109
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,000
are not meant to do this alone.
None of us are.
110
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,960
And that's exactly why the Spark
Hope community exists.
111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,880
It's a supportive, empowering
community of female leaders.
112
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,960
You are tired of carrying it all
alone, and you're ready to lead
113
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,800
with hope and purpose, and yes,
with love.
114
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,640
Inside this community you will
find encouragement and
115
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,800
connection, practical leadership
tools rooted in the science of
116
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,560
hope, a space where you can
pause, exhale, grow, and lead
117
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,200
authentically.
If your heart is craving
118
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,680
community, if you're ready to
choose love as a leadership
119
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560
strategy, and if you believe
hope is something we build
120
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400
together, I want to invite you
to join us.
121
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,560
You'll find the link to join in
the show notes.
122
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,120
As Valentine's Day approaches,
my hope for you is this.
123
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Choose love and how you lead.
Choose love and how you speak to
124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
yourself and choose love and how
you show up for others.
125
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,440
Because when love and hope work
together, leadership becomes
126
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,600
transformational.
Until next time, friends, keep
127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,760
leading, keep hoping, and always
lead with hope.
