What do you do when plans fall apart?

When something you were counting on — a routine, a tradition, or a long-anticipated moment — suddenly doesn’t work out, it can leave you feeling disappointed, stressed, or quietly undone.

In today’s episode, Bonnie shares her personal story that began with physical limitation and unexpected disappointment — and unfolded into a surprising invitation into joy she never could have planned.

This episode gently explores why breaking from tradition doesn’t mean failure or loss —
it may be the very care your heart needs to experience God’s presence in a fresh way.

Key Takeaways:

Why breaking tradition can lower stress & how God is at work

How to release pressure from disappointment to renewal

The science behind novelty, wonder, and emotional renewal

Why engaging one of your five senses can restore joy and calm

A gentle soul care practice to help you try something new this season — without pressure
