In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, I’m joined by leadership expert Terri-Ann Richards for a real-time walk-through of my Expression Guide — a tool I created to help people understand how their authentic voice is meant to be expressed through astrology and human design. I’m Bonnie Sorsby — a multidisciplinary artist and brand strategist who brings together creative direction, intuitive insight, and grounded astrology to help people express who they truly are. Through art, design, and chart work, I support clients in finding a voice, visual identity, and way of showing up that actually feels good. Terri-Ann bravely volunteered to explore her own expression in this session, and what unfolded was a deeply resonant conversation about leadership, energy, timing, and the truth of finding your voice. Together, they explore: Why Terri-Ann’s voice lands as clear, precise, and practical (and how perfectionism tries to keep it quiet). How her nonlinear, intuitive inner world shapes the way she speaks, teaches, and leads. The role of Venus and Mars in the 11th house and why her work always circles back to community, spotlighting others, and serving the greater good. What it really means to be a Projector with a defined throat in human design — including timing, invitations, and why she can’t (and shouldn’t) work like her Generator friends. The “gates of expression” in her chart that speak to simplifying complex ideas, sharing lived experience, and waiting for the right emotional wave before she speaks. How burnout, boundaries, and delegation have reshaped the way she uses her voice and energy as a leader. If you’ve ever wondered “Why can’t I show up the way other entrepreneurs do?” or felt like your voice is “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too different,” this conversation will feel like a permission slip to honor your own design.
