Burning Brightly Bonnie Wiscombe

Hey there, fellow Christian moms and entrepreneurs! I'm Bonnie Wiscombe, your host and guide on this journey of building a business and sharing your light with the world. In today's episode, we're tackling a crucial topic that affects almost every one of us at some point: imposter syndrome.
Do you often feel like you're not enough, that you're pretending to be something you're not, or that others will soon discover you're a fraud? You're not alone! Imposter syndrome can be a major obstacle in building a successful business, especially when you're selling your expertise and knowledge.
Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:
Imposter syndrome is not about lacking credentials or education; it's about feeling like you don't belong or aren't good enough.Expertise is simply skill and knowledge, which you already possess as a human being with experiences and talents.Focus on helping others and getting results ahead of time, rather than constantly declaring your expertise.To combat imposter syndrome, start showing people what you know by giving results ahead of time, reading widely, networking with other experts, and continuing to talk to your audience.
Tune in to the full episode to learn more about how to overcome imposter syndrome and unleash your inner expert. Let's face our fears and doubts together, and shine our light with confidence!

Welcome to a very special episode of Burning Brightly! This month marks our one-year anniversary of the show, and I’m thrilled to share not only the journey of this podcast but how life coaching has profoundly transformed my life and career.
It's been an incredible year of growth, both for myself and for the show. As some of you may know, I transitioned from co-hosting "Outnumbered the Podcast" to focusing entirely on Burning Brightly and my coaching business. This shift allowed me to delve deeper into the realms of business, faith, and personal development, emphasizing the powerful interplay between them.
Now, I want to take a minute to reflect on how life coaching has reshaped my perspective and approach to various aspects of life:
- Personal Empowerment: Discovering life coaching podcasts back in 2018 opened my eyes to a new way of viewing my family relationships. I moved from often feeling resentful and frustrated to embracing a stance of empowerment and intentionality.
- Business and Mindset: Coaching other Christian women on starting their coaching or content businesses has been incredibly rewarding. It's not just about business strategies; it's about understanding and reshaping the narratives we tell ourselves.
- Overcoming Challenges: Life threw some serious challenges my way, including a traumatic event in 2020. The tools I gained from life coaching proved invaluable, helping me navigate intense grief and ongoing suffering. 
- Health and Wellness: After my last baby, life coaching principles helped me lose over 30 pounds and gain significant strength, altering how I treat and perceive my body.
- Spiritual Insights: Perhaps one of the most profound aspects of becoming a coach was feeling God’s love for His daughters during coaching sessions. This realization fueled my passion for coaching and affirmed my path forward.
As we celebrate this milestone, I'm reminded of why I started this podcast. It's about community, sharing our lights, and helping each other navigate the highs and lows of life and entrepreneurship.

Today's guest has an incredible story and shares hope, inspiration and some amazing coaching tools. Kolette Hall is a life coach and widowed single mom who helps other high achieving men and women understand how to let go and be at peace with the things we can't (and don't want to) control.
Kolette has a Master’s Degree in Education and spent 5 years teaching before starting her own business in the craft industry. Her husband, Jason, was a quadriplegic in a wheelchair who spent many months in the hospital and needed extra care.
In 2019, Jason passed away and Kolette became a widow and single mom to her teenage son, Coleman. She wrote a book about her experiences and decided to become a coach because she believes in the growth of successful people. When a high-achieving person up-levels their mindset, the impact is exponential. Kolette wants more of that happening in the world.

Hey there, entrepreneurs! Welcome back to Burning Brightly, the podcast where we ignite our entrepreneurial spirits and embrace the adventure of building businesses while sharing our light with the world. I'm Bonnie Wiscombe, your guide through the highs and lows of this exhilarating journey.
Today, we're diving into a topic that resonates with all of us: living life to the fullest. Yes, it may sound cliché, but bear with me, because there's profound wisdom in magnifying our mortality and seizing every moment on this earthly journey.
Here are some key takeaways from today's episode:
- Understanding Our Drives: Whether we're naturally inclined to hustle or lean towards relaxation, both personality types have their strengths and weaknesses. Recognizing where we fall on this spectrum helps us navigate our journey more effectively.
- Aligning Goals with Purpose: We explore the significance of aligning our daily goals with life's purpose. It's about balancing our aspirations with the mundane tasks of daily life while staying true to our deeper calling.
- Caring for Body and Mind: Our bodies and minds are invaluable tools on this journey. From prioritizing sleep to understanding the difference between emotions and sensations, we delve into practical strategies for nurturing these essential aspects of ourselves.
And to cap it off, I shared some personal insights and favorite tools for maintaining physical and mental well-being, including the importance of sleep, the power of gamifying fitness, and the benefits of keeping a food journal.
Remember, it's not about making drastic changes overnight but striving for 1% improvement each day. So let's embark on this journey together, embracing the joy, challenges, and growth that come with magnifying our mortality and shining brightly.

We working moms have a lot on our plate: balancing family, home, business, and more can feel exhausting and relentless. But in reality, there are only a few of these things that will really matter in this life and beyond. Our relationships with our family members are high on this list!
Today we're talking about reprioritizing our family, especially when things get crazy as an entrepreneur, as well as how to inspire our own children to burn brightly. After all, what we create in the world will matter very little if we fail at home.
