    Interview with Susie Pearl, Writer, Coach & Author of The Art of Creativity and Instructions for Happiness

    In this episode of It's a Bonny Old Life, Bonny Snowdon speaks to one of her most valued mentors, Susie Pearl on the importance of finding our highest personal potential, keeping our mental health strong and living with conscious awareness. After recovering fully from an aggressive brain tumour, Susie found out about healing and what life is really all about. She is grateful for each day and lives life making every day count. She experienced leaving her body and looking down from out of her body in a real life NDE (Near Death Experience) and came back fully healed which surprised everyone – particularly the doctors. Her journey out of her body took her on a road of learning about life and death that has changed her (for the better) forever. It has given her a deep wisdom and understanding about life. This podcast explores how Bonny's work with Susie has helped her dive deep into the inner well of creativity that we all have inside and find happiness and good living to support this process. Bonny also talks to Susie about how she supports others to shift from fear into love and make life more fun and enjoyable. Listen to the podcast on this page or click the links to subscribe and/or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

  2. Interview with Ian Peacock, Picture Framer extraordinaire (but it's Ben the office dog we all want to see!)

    Interview with Ian Peacock, Picture Framer extraordinaire (but it's Ben the office dog we all want to see!)

    In this episode of It's a Bonny Old Life Bonny visits Ian Peacock, the Ripon-based Picture Framer extraordinaire who framed some of her very first pet portraits and has supported and advised her on her journey as a professional artist ever since. Ian shares some fascinating stories about how he came to be the chosen Framer for art by some of the greatest artists in the world (dead and alive!) think Turner, Banksy, Andy Warhol, Picasso (and, of course, our very own Bonny Snowdon!). But it could have been very different as Ian actually started out his career training to be an Engineer for the railways like generations of the men in his family before him. Engineering had been the long term plan until he fell (by accident) into working as a weekend Wedding Photographer and then by chance discovered his passion for framing and eventually took the brave decision as a young man back in 1986, to start his own North Yorkshire based picture framing business. The rest, as they say, is (art) history! Such a fun, inspiring and fascinating interview. You can listen here or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. As ever, if you enjoy this podcast please do share with others who you think may benefit from hearing it too.  With us being in his workshop, in a carpet shop there are a couple of times where there's some background noise, but don't let it put you off as he's a fascinating man :)

    Interview with Members of the Bonny Snowdon Academy

    In this special episode of It’s A Bonny Old Life, Bonny celebrates the reopening of her online teaching platform, the Academy, with a few kind words from a handful of her members. Bonny hears from Judy, who started drawing at 71 after retiring. She talks about the fear of starting something new at a later stage in life, and tells us how she broke through barriers, improved her skills and gained confidence. Today, she takes on commissioned pieces, and Bonny has one of her drawings proudly on display in her own home! We also hear from Karen, who struggled with her confidence so much when joining Bonny’s live sessions, that she didn’t dare turn her camera on in Zoom! Bonny explains how she slowly started to feel more comfortable and at ease in the Academy, and Karen shares how proud she is of the work she’s doing now, how much her confidence has grown in her daily life, and how it’s even helped lower her stress levels and improve her health! Other members of the Academy also make an appearance, sharing their experience, their stories, and the reasons why they love being a member of Bonny’s community. Plus, Bonny explains what new members can expect from the Academy when they join, including her Coloured Pencil Foundations Course, a collection of regular live sessions and hundreds of realtime tutorials, personalised critiques and the support of an amazing community of coloured pencil artists.
