Sacred Work in Progress

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, I’m joined by my sister-in-law, Julianna aka “Jules” —doula, menstruality guide, and the creator behind JULES ALMA, a space devoted to honest, deep, holistic insights on living a blissful life in a female body.

Jules believes that women’s bodies are widely misunderstood and undernourished in our modern world, and she’s devoted her work to helping women reconnect to the wisdom we were never taught to honor. We talk about cyclical living, the emotional and physical power of our bleed, how to nourish ourselves through each phase of our cycle, and why living in tune with our hormones can bring more ease, clarity, and vitality into everyday life.

She also shares about Yoni mapping—what it is, how it works, and why this long-forgotten practice can be so transformative for emotional release, pelvic health, and deep reconnection with the most innervated part of our bodies.

If you’ve ever felt like you “should” know more about your cycle, or you’ve been craving a more grounded, holistic approach to women’s health, this conversation will feel like sitting with a warm cup of tea and finally getting the education you always needed.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie and fellow soulful business strategist + numerology guide AnnMarie McKenzie explore awakening, emotional intelligence, energetic coding, and the cycles shaping who we’re becoming.

AnnMarie shares how her mother’s passing in 2014 opened a deep doorway into emotional intentionality and eventually numerology — a system that felt more like remembering than discovering. Together, Bonnie and AnnMarie explore how our wiring, intuition, patterns, and nervous systems influence the way we lead, create, and evolve.

Inside the episode:

• Numerology as a language of frequency and soul design

• Emotional intelligence and nervous system leadership

• Why spiritual entrepreneurs often recreate burnout cycles

• The collective energy of 2025 as a universal 9 year

• What 2026 as a universal 1 year is asking of us

• Pivoting without burning everything down

• Visibility, identity, and sharing your deeper gifts

If this conversation resonates, following or reviewing helps this work reach more people walking their own sacred path. 💛

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie talks with artist and community builder Gaby Viteri, founder of First Female in Palm Beach County. What began as a chat on authenticity opened into Gaby’s debut collection, “Speed Kills”—a series of 47 ceramic plates that trace real chapters of her life, grief, and growth.

They get into why slowing down can change your art, how community helps us be seen, and the moment a quiet download became a body of work. Expect talk of creative permission, perfectionism vs expression, releasing control, and what happens when you let the work lead.

We’ve all seen it... the copy-paste promos, the cold DMs, the posts that feel like one big ad. But organic social marketing in places like Facebook groups doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode, I’m sharing how to approach groups as a space for connection and visibility, not sales-y tactics. I also share how to show up in a way that feels good, rooted in your own energy and design.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie welcomes visual artist Pia Dugger for a heartfelt conversation about creativity, motherhood, and finding her way back to painting after putting it aside for a season of life. Pia shares how her background in design and her time working outside the arts shaped her perspective, and how returning to her practice became a source of healing and renewal.

Together they explore what it means to balance a love of technology with a deep connection to nature, how authenticity shows up in the creative process, and why the story behind a piece can be just as powerful as the work itself. Pia also opens up about painting alongside her children, building structure into her studio practice, and the joy of preparing for her upcoming solo exhibition.
