Sacred Work in Progress

Jupiter enters Leo on June 30th, 2026, but honestly, I think this transit is about far more than confidence, creativity, or “stepping into the spotlight.”

It arrives during one of the biggest collective shifts we’ve experienced in years.

With Pluto already moving through Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune beginning a new cycle in Aries, Uranus newly entering Gemini, the North Node shifting into Aquarius just weeks later, and a Leo Solar Eclipse shortly after that, I think this transit is describing something much bigger around identity, visibility, technology, and authentic self expression.

In this episode, I talk about:

• why visibility feels emotionally different now
• the psychological impact of constant online perception
• creator burnout and branding fatigue
• authenticity vs performative identity
• Pluto in Aquarius and technological identity
• the Leo-Aquarius axis and collective evolution
• the Sleeping Phoenix Era
• and why Jupiter in Leo may feel surprisingly vulnerable for a lot of people

Because being seen is not the same thing as feeling safe being visible.

And honestly, I think this astrology is asking much bigger questions about humanity, creativity, identity, and self expression in the digital age than most people realize.

Astrology can feel especially confusing when you’re looking at your birth chart one placement at a time.

Your rising sign, your North Node, your 10th house… each one holds meaning, but on their own, they rarely give you a full answer. And that’s usually where things start to feel disconnected.

In this episode, I’m walking through why your birth chart might not be making sense yet—and the shift that changes everything.

Astrology isn’t just about learning what each placement means. It’s about synthesis and pattern recognition—seeing how your rising sign, North Node, houses, and planetary placements actually work together.

We’ll talk through:

• Rising sign vs North Node and what each actually represents
• Career in astrology beyond the 10th house (including the 6th house, MC, and Saturn influence)
• The real meaning of the 2nd house and your relationship to money and value
• Moon vs IC and how your emotional patterns are shaped
• Why astrology starts to click when you stop isolating placements

If you’ve ever felt like you understand astrology “in pieces” but can’t quite put it all together, this episode will help you see your chart in a more connected, usable way.

This is where astrology moves beyond surface-level interpretations and becomes something you can actually apply to your life, your work, and your personal growth.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the story behind Your Personal Pattern™, and the two related offerings evolving from it: Your Beautiful Birth Chart™ and Your Contribution Pattern™.

These reports came from a realization that changed how I think about astrology. Instead of looking at charts placement by placement, I became more interested in the pattern underneath someone’s life.

I also talk honestly about my love for one-on-one astrology readings… and why they can also be incredibly energetically demanding. Writing and building tools allows me to share the insights I’ve gained from studying charts with far more people than my nervous system could ever handle through individual sessions.

This episode is ultimately about sharing the heart behind these projects, how they evolved, and why they feel so meaningful to me.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain themes keep repeating in your life, or how your chart fits together as a whole, this conversation might resonate.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, host Bonnie Sorsby sits down with three of the women behind one of Palm Beach County's most exciting creative movements — First Female and its annual Women's Art Week. Joining the roundtable are Gaby Viteri, founder of First Female, ceramicist and Avenue Pottery founder Lani Goodrich, and multidisciplinary artist Hayley Sheldon.

Together, they unpack the theme of this year's Women's Art Week — Reclamation — and what it means to reclaim creativity, childhood, materials, space, and joy. The conversation goes deep on the relationship between play and serious artistic practice, how running a creative business can pull you away from pure creation, the energetics of art-making and how it lands for viewers, and why community changes everything for women working in the creative world.

You'll also get a peek inside the lineup of events happening March 6–15 across Palm Beach County — from an intimate six-woman show inside a church, to works-in-progress on display, to acoustic concerts and shamanic prayer experiences.

If you've ever felt the pull between the business of making and the pure joy of it — this one's for you.

This conversation surprised me.

Jennifer and I didn’t come in with a tight plan. We just started talking — first about her work with women and anger, about how often we say “I’m fine” when we’re not, about how much emotion gets stored instead of moved.

She calls herself a nervous system whisperer and a venting coach, which honestly makes so much sense once you hear her talk about it. We got into what it means to actually let something move through the body instead of just ruminating on it. The 90-second rule. Why suppressing anger doesn’t make it disappear. Why pressure builds.

Then we shifted into building things as entrepreneurs. Beta offers. Refining containers. Launching imperfectly. Rewriting funnels. The uncomfortable parts of entrepreneurship no one is really talking about.

It struck me while editing this that the thread was the same the whole time...

Pressure builds in the body.Pressure builds in business.
And if you don’t let it move, it turns into something else.

This one felt honest. And so needed.

Jennifer Grove works with women who are emotionally exhausted and ready to release what’s been building underneath the surface.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, I’m joined by Jenny Hahn and Stephanie Gray — visual artists, writers, and creative transformation guides behind Creative Nectar Studio (where creativity meets consciousness).

We unpack what process art actually is (and what it isn’t), how creating without pressure for a “good result” becomes a pathway back to heart wisdom, and why so many of us were conditioned to believe we’re “not creative.” We talk about letting intuition lead, how art can help transmute painful experiences into insight (yes… including an ex turning into a ridiculous frog 😅), and why doing this work in community is where the real magic happens.

If you’ve been craving more play, more presence, and a way to come home to yourself — this one’s for you.

SEO is often framed as either overly technical or mysteriously out of reach. In this solo episode, I break it down in a grounded, approachable way. I share how I approach keyword research, how search intent guides website structure, and why SEO works best when it’s built into the foundation.

We also talk about realistic timelines, why SEO takes time, and how focusing on core evergreen content can support your website for months and years to come.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie is joined by dementia coach and advocate Laura Smothers-Chu, founder of Joy in Dementia. Laura specializes in helping adult children who are supporting a parent with dementia when they do not live in the same home.

Laura’s dad was diagnosed with dementia when she was twenty-eight. Even working in healthcare, she could not find resources that spoke to her experience as a daughter living apart from her parents. Everything was geared toward the primary caregiver under the same roof. So she created what she needed and now guides other long distance caregivers through both the practical logistics and the emotional weight of this journey.

We talk about:

• How Laura’s dad’s diagnosis led her to create Joy in Dementia

• What “long distance caregiver” really means beyond miles on a map

• The invisible guilt, grief, and helplessness adult children often carry

• Why long distance caregivers are actually uniquely positioned to help

• Practical ways to support your parents from afar without taking over

• The importance of planning: POA, wills, elder law attorneys and finances

• Staying present with your parent while still preparing for the future

• Finding moments of joy inside a dementia journey that is also deeply heavy

• How Laura weaves mindfulness, human design, and intuitive insight into her work

• Her free guide on dementia stages written specifically for long distance caregivers

✨ Listen, reflect, and share with a partner who needs this.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, I’m joined by leadership expert Terri-Ann Richards for a real-time walk-through of my Expression Guide — a tool I created to help people understand how their authentic voice is meant to be expressed through astrology and human design.

I’m Bonnie Sorsby — a multidisciplinary artist and brand strategist who brings together creative direction, intuitive insight, and grounded astrology to help people express who they truly are. Through art, design, and chart work, I support clients in finding a voice, visual identity, and way of showing up that actually feels good.

Terri-Ann bravely volunteered to explore her own expression in this session, and what unfolded was a deeply resonant conversation about leadership, energy, timing, and the truth of finding your voice.

Together, they explore:

• Why Terri-Ann’s voice lands as clear, precise, and practical (and how perfectionism tries to keep it quiet).

• How her nonlinear, intuitive inner world shapes the way she speaks, teaches, and leads.

• The role of Venus and Mars in the 11th house and why her work always circles back to community, spotlighting others, and serving the greater good.

• What it really means to be a Projector with a defined throat in human design — including timing, invitations, and why she can’t (and shouldn’t) work like her Generator friends.

• The “gates of expression” in her chart that speak to simplifying complex ideas, sharing lived experience, and waiting for the right emotional wave before she speaks.

• How burnout, boundaries, and delegation have reshaped the way she uses her voice and energy as a leader.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why can’t I show up the way other entrepreneurs do?” or felt like your voice is “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too different,” this conversation will feel like a permission slip to honor your own design.
