  • 97. You're Not Behind, You're Just Overwhelmed

    Have you ever felt called to build a coaching business online (or a podcast, course or other way to help people) and then sat down to actually do it and thought... I have no idea where to start?

    In this episode, I'm sharing a story about one of my clients who felt a strong spiritual prompting to launch a podcast but kept freezing every time she tried to move forward. It wasn't that she didn't believe in her calling. It wasn't that she lacked the skills. It was that the how felt impossibly big.

    If you've been struggling with tech overwhelm, feeling like you're the only one who doesn't have this figured out, or wondering why building a business feels so much harder than coaching itself, this episode is for you.

    You're not behind. You're not broken. You're not bad at tech. You just haven't been shown the simple version yet.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    1. Why capable women often struggle the most with business tech
    2. The hidden cost of piecing together advice from multiple sources
    3. Why tech overwhelm is a system problem, not a personal flaw
    4. What changes when you finally have a clear, simple path to follow

  • 95. Why New Year's Goals Usually Fail

    Welsome to 2026! Who doesn't love a fresh start?? But what if most of the resolutions we set are built on the wrong foundation?

    In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about goal-setting: what actually works, what holds us back, and why January 1st isn’t the magical reset we’ve been taught to believe it is.

    We’ll talk about:

    1. Why the new year doesn’t erase last year’s momentum (or mistakes)
    2. The danger of tying your worth to your accomplishments
    3. How to tell if you push yourself too hard—or not hard enough
    4. Why focusing on what went right changes everything
    5. Learning to love yourself exactly as you are (before the goal)
    6. Making sure your goals create a life you actually want to live

    If you’ve ever felt pressure, guilt, or exhaustion around goals… this episode is your permission to do things differently this year.

  • 94. Busy is a Choice - Creating Space for What Matters Most

    So many women feel constantly busy and overwhelmed by everything that's on their plate. In this episode, we talk about the idea that feeling busy is a choice, even when life is full. We explore how many of the things that keep us busy are things we’ve intentionally chosen because we care about our families — and how recognizing that can help us let go of resentment and a victim mentality.

    We’ll also talk about how to intentionally create space for the things that matter most, including your business, without sacrificing being the mom you want to be.

    1. Why “busy” has become the default mindset for so many women
    2. The difference between being busy and having a full life
    3. How to recognize which commitments you’ve actively chosen
    4. Why building a business requires letting some things fall away
    5. A simple framework for deciding what to keep, delete, defer, or delegate

  • 93. Stop Rejecting Money in Your Business

    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 culture
    • How misunderstanding scripture has created unnecessary money drama
    • The difference between loving money and managing it well
    • What God wants us to think and feel about money
    • Why avoiding money hurts your business and limits your impact
    • The good we could do if we stopped fearing money
    • Common beliefs that hold faithful women back from earning more—and whether those beliefs are actually righteous

  • 91. Accepting the Call with Hannah Munn

    Today's interview on Burning Brightly is with Hannah Munn who works for Love Justice, a global non-profit fighting human trafficking before it occurs. In this episode, Bonnie and Hannah dive deep on what it means to accept a calling from God - the good, the bad, and the really hard.

    They discuss how to make a difference in the world, even in a tiny way, how to overcome doubt in your calling, and how to ensure that you're becoming who God wants you to be in the process, not just going through the motions.

    Learn more about Love Justice here!

    "Hannah Munn is the Global Advocate at Love Justice International, a Christian nonprofit working in more than 20 countries to stop human trafficking and share the love of Jesus Christ. Over the past decade, she has lived and worked in Nepal and South Africa, traveling to more than 10 countries to help design, install, and monitor Love Justice’s transit monitoring model—the world’s only tangible prevention strategy that intercepts people in the process of being trafficked but before exploitation.

    Most recently, she has pivoted to lead Project Beautiful, Love Justice’s monthly giving community, stewarding donor engagement while also spending more time at home in South Africa with her husband and three young children."

  • 89. The Magic of Metaphors in Life & Business

    Have you ever had one of those “aha” moments when something finally clicked, not because you learned something new, but because you saw it differently? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the power of metaphors and correlations: how they can expand your mind, shift your emotions, and help you grow in both life and business. You’ll learn how to use metaphors to gently change your thoughts (without forcing new ones), find peace in challenging circumstances, and even connect with your audience in a new and effective way.

    In this episode, you'll learn to:

    • Shift your mindset naturally, without resistance or “toxic positivity.”
    • Transfer emotions from one situation to another to feel more empowered and peaceful.
    • See challenges differently - from business setbacks to motherhood struggles.
    • Communicate better with your audience by weaving metaphors into your business messaging.

    You’ll also hear real-life examples of how simple metaphors can completely transform the way you think and feel.

    By the end, you’ll start seeing metaphors everywhere - in scriptures, in your kids, in nature - and realize they’re all little reminders that God is always trying to teach us.

  • 88. Surviving the Messy Middle of Business

    Feeling stuck between “just starting” and “finally successful”? You’re not alone. In this episode, Bonnie talks about the messy middle of business - that awkward, discouraging phase where you’ve built something real but it’s not yet what you imagined it would be.

    In this episode:

    • Why the messy middle is a sign you’re growing, not failing
    • How to measure real progress when results feel slow
    • Encouragement to trust God’s timing and keep showing up

    This part of the story is natural and normal... don't quit!
