Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

Ep 189: The Life Brief with Bonnie Wan


Listen Later

“When you have the clarity of your essence - who you are, what you stand for, what you believe in, and then also your ambition distilled in a way that sticks, in a way that you remember it, you can call it in and call upon it whenever you need” - Bonnie Wan


Bonnie Wan is an author and a speaker as well as Partner and Head of Brand Strategy at the world renowned advertising agency, Goodby Silverstein Partners. Alongside her new book, The Life Brief, Bonnie helps people live with greater clarity, creativity, and courage by teaching them how to write “creative briefs” for their lives.


Some big takeaways from this episode:

  • Perceived selfishness is good: it’s okay to sit with yourself and ask what you want, even if it feels selfish and/or uncomfortable 
  • Our partnerships are most vulnerable in transition: when we’re faced with new life milestones we bring a period of transition into our lives that shines a spotlight on cracks in our relationships, forcing us to make conscious, intentional choices
  • Allow yourself to get messy: acknowledge that our society puts pressure on women to hustle and be perfectionists, but courage, creativity, joy, and so many other things are found in the mess
