What do you do when life is changing… and you don’t yet know what’s next?

In seasons of transition, it’s easy to feel unsettled or uncertain. But what if you could move forward with peace and quiet confidence — even before everything becomes clear?

In this episode, Bonnie shares the moments she got a jarring text that unsettled her, that helped her understanding of what it means to live forward — not backward — and how that perspective can reshape the way we experience change.

You’ll also learn a simple morning soul care practice to anchor your identity in God — so you can begin each day grounded amidst the tumble of change.

If you’re in a season of change, this episode will help you move forward with peace and trust the next chapter God is writing.

Key Takeaways
How to move forward with peace in seasons of change
Why identity shifts are a natural part of new chapters
How your inner narrative shapes your wellbeing

How curiosity and small enjoyable actions can interrupt stress loops
A simple morning practice to ground your day


Breath Prayer
Inhale: Do not dwell on the past…

Exhale: See, I am doing a new thing…

do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!”
