    Creating Space For What Matters - What Deserves a Seat at my Table? | Honestly Ladies.... Ep. 14

    Do you ever feel like your life has become crowded with responsibilities, expectations, distractions, worries, and endless demands of your time?    In this episode, we're taking a look at what deserves a seat at our table and what we may have quietly let have a seat without taking any notice.     Using a simple table metaphor, we'll explore how much modern life fills up one chair at a time, how overwhelm can build before we even notice it, and why creating space isn't always about making room for more, but sometimes it's about letting go of what no longer needs to be.     Together we'll talk about priorities, presence, calm, and making room for things that really do matter.           This is not about a life transformation.       It's a simple difference in perspective.      So join us for a conversation about what's sitting at your table.     In this episode:     - Why life feels so full sometimes     - How unnecessary things find a seat at our table     - Making room for what matters     - A simple question that can change your perspective.      If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, follow, and share it with someone who might enjoy our conversations here at Honestly Ladies....       Remember Ladies, we can't make memories if we aren't in the room to make them.

    Vulnerability & Video! | Honestly Ladies.... Ep. 11

    Vulnerability & Video! In this episode, Bonnie steps in front of the camera for the very first time - doing it her way, with honesty, warmth, and a whole lot of courage. She reflects on the growth from Episode 1 through to Episode 10, the feedback that pushed her to listen back, and what she discovered along the way.   She shares the story of replying to listeners in her own voice, the advice from her husband that changed everything, and a moment from years ago - a boardroom filled with candy, pop and chips - where vulnerability and bravery showed up under the table through whispered messages to her assistant and husband.    Bonnie talks about learning as she goes, bumps and bruises included, and how a conversation with one of her favourite podcasters and her guest inspired her to show up on video today.    This episode is about trying, showing up, and choosing the brave thought: What if it works?     Bonnie closes with a gentle ask - say what you're thinking if it feels right. Share your ideas. Try it and see how you feel. Even if it's as simple as telling someone you love their shoes!    A heartfelt, human first step into video.... and a reminder that we're learning together.  Send us Fan Mail Loved this episode?

    Softening and Releasing the Heavy Loads We Carry | Honestly Ladies…. Ep. 7

    Episode 7 is a gentle, honest exploration of two powerful themes that work hand-in-hand: Softening and Releasing. As the season continues, this episode invites listeners to slow down,  breathe, and recognize the heavy loads they've been carrying.  Softening is the first step. It's the moment we stop bracing, stop tightening, and stop pushing through. It's where we let our edges relax, pace settle, and our inner voice become kinder. Softening creates the space we need to finally let go.  Releasing is the second step. It's the quiet, courageous act of setting down what no longer belongs to us - old expectations, emotional armour, outdated identities, and the hurt we've held on to. Releasing isn't dramatic; it's freeing. It's the river finally letting go of what it's been carrying. In this episode, Bonnie shares real stories, gentle reflections, and the wisdom that comes from decades of leadership, motherhood, partnership, and life. Together, we explore how softening makes releasing possible - and how both open the door to a lighter, clearer,  more connected way of living.  This is an episode for every woman who has carried too much, for too long - and is ready to soften, release, and breathe again.  Send us Fan Mail Loved this episode?
