Have you ever kept your feelings hidden because you thought voicing them was weakness? Or felt silenced by shame, fear, or the thought, “I shouldn’t complain”?

Friend, with God, your feelings matter. In this week’s episode, Bonnie shares her powerful story of returning to what once felt like a place of silence as a child and how it became the stage where she testified to God’s healing and love.

You’ll discover why hiding your feelings keeps your body stuck in stress, and how naming them becomes the doorway to peace, healing, and joy. Through scripture, science, and a simple soul care practice, Bonnie will help you release the weight of silence and draw closer to God.

Key Takeaways:
