Burning Brightly

Have you been feeling a quiet pull toward building a side business of your own? Or maybe feeling persistent inspiration that you can't quite explain or shake?In this episode, I'll explain why this feeling is not random and the timing of it is no accident. I'm talking about how the last 50 years (and especially the last decade) have created a window of opportunity for women that has never existed before, and why women of faith are uniquely positioned to take advantage of it.I'm sharing my own story of not getting into PA school after my first baby was born, and how that unexpected detour led me to exactly where I was always meant to be. I'm also walking through the two types of women who are feeling this calling right now and why both of them have exactly what it takes to build something inspired and impactful.If you've ever wondered whether your desire to build a business fits with your faith and your family, this episode is for you.In this episode:Why the rise of online business has changed everything for womenThe two kinds of women feeling called to be business owners right now and why both are perfect for this opportunityHow your God-given gifts translate directly into businessWhy this season of history is a window you don't want to missGet your copy of Bonnie’s book ➡️ Burning Brightly: Answering God's Call to Build a Business as a Latter-day Saint Woman⚡️Join the Burning Brightly private FB group⏰ Get on the waitlist for the Burning Brightly Business Studio===========================Connect with Bonnie:FacebookInstagramYouTube

Money is one of the most emotionally charged, and quietly avoided, topics in Christian circles. Many of us were taught that talking about money is inappropriate, evil, or even dangerous. But when you’re building a business, avoiding money doesn’t lead to righteousness - it leads to confusion, stress, and self-sabotage.In this episode, Bonnie explores money from an LDS, faith-centered perspective and talks honestly about why money feels so uncomfortable, what God actually teaches about wealth and stewardship, and how money can be used to build Zion, gather Israel, and expand our ability to do good in the world.This conversation is for any of us who want to partner with God in our business-without shame, fear, or scarcity.Why money became such a “taboo” topic in Christian cultureHow misunderstanding scripture has created unnecessary money dramaThe difference between loving money and managing it wellWhat God wants us to think and feel about moneyWhy avoiding money hurts your business and limits your impactThe good we could do if we stopped fearing moneyCommon beliefs that hold faithful women back from earning more—and whether those beliefs are actually righteousCheck out Bonnie's FREE CLASS on how to set up all the tech for your life coaching business here.=============================Work with Bonnie:⚡️FREE CALL: Get the next steps for your business and learn more about working 1:1 with Bonnie.⚡️Join Bonnie's private FB group for Christian, female entrepreneurs===========================Connect with Bonnie:FacebookInstagramYouTube

In this episode, I interview my friend and former client Rachelle Heywood who is a certified life coach and decluttering expert. She shares her journey of struggling with clutter amidst raising six kids and how she found peace through decluttering. Rachelle teaches us the mental and emotional aspects of letting go of physical possessions and shows us why our attachments to 'stuff' are often deeper (and more ingrained) than we realize. She also gives tips on how to start decluttering and emphasizes the importance of removing excess to foster better connections with family and oneself.

I recently learned the concept of living "in the gain" from the book The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy. Today we're talking about the 3 main benefits that come from focusing on how far we've made it so far in life in business, instead of how far we still want to go.Making and accomplishing goals is great, but when the goalpost keeps moving, we do ourselves the disservice of acknowledging our past and current blessings and living in lack instead of gratitiude. Learning to live in the gain while keeping God as your business partner will be a total game changer!Download my free guide to getting your coaching business up and running in ONE weekend.Ready to work together?

We women of faith have so many strengths when it comes to building a business, but one of our weaknesses is a tendency to take the failures and success of our business very personally.It makes sense - when we pour our hearts and souls into creating something that we know can help change people's lives, it can be hard not to take it personally when things don't go according to plan. But letting the highs and lows of our business dictate our emotions is a recipe for misery.Let's explore how to create a healthy emotional distance between who we are personally and what we're creating in our businesses.

Many Christian women in the entrepreneur space never set out to be a boss or a mogul initially. Most of us just saw a need and wanted to help people. But the quicker we can embrace and step into the energy that comes from being a true boss in our business, the quicker we'll create (and become) something truly amazing.Being a boss means so much more than just hiring employees - in fact, I suggest everyone step into this boss energy WAY before ever hiring your first team member. It looks like embracing confidence, respecting your own and other people's time, it looks like trusting your intuition and building something with God by your side.Your audience desperately needs you to take charge and help them to change their lives.

If you're a mother, then you know all about the different seasons of life and how each requires different time and energy. There are times of life when we can work full time, times when we are way busier than we'd like to be and seasons when we're barely hanging on.It can be tempting to try to start or grow a business during a season of life that isn't particularly conducive to extra obligations. Conversely, it can be easy to dismiss a call from God asking us to do something new because we think we're "just too busy".This episode will help us determine if and when might be the right time to scale a business, start something new or just be patient and "wait upon the Lord".Ready to get started on your own coaching or content business?

What do you feel when you hear the word "failure?" Does it make you cringe? Worry? Stress or shiver? Most people have only negative connotations to the word "failure", but when building a small business, we have to get up close and personal to this concept and start to reexamine it.Instead of seeing our business building adventure as a series of small failures, instead I want us to look at it as a series of experiments. This is how every business is built and getting comfortable with these experiments is critical if you're going to succeed.But sometimes, it IS time to fail, or in other words, close our doors or do a major business pivot. What will we make THIS mean about us as entrepreneurs? Will we let it affect how we view ourselves? Does the success or failure of our business mean that we ourselves are either successes or failures?We're going to talk all about this concept today, and teach you how to reframe failure in a way that will serve you in your business and in life, forever.Download my free guide to getting your coaching business up and running in ONE weekend.Ready to work together?
