When You Don’t Feel Good Enough: How to Heal by Feeling Seen, Known & Loved #168

Monday, June 23, 2025 • Duration 20:52

Do you ever feel like you’re just not enough — no matter how much you do or how hard you try to hold everything together? Maybe you’ve been the strong one for so long, but deep down you’re quietly wondering… Does anyone truly see me?

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep hiding your heart.

In this episode, Bonnie shares how emotional neglect and affectional deprivation create deep wounds in the nervous system — and how Psalm 139 offers healing through the power of being seen, known, and loved by God.

Tune into this episode to rediscover your worth, experience how wonderfully God made you, and feel His tender presence with practical soul care tools rooted in scripture and neuroscience.

Key Takeaways from Today’s Soul Care:
• How emotional neglect affects your nervous system and brain chemistry
• What “yada” means in Hebrew — and how God experiences your emotions
• Why Psalm 139 can help heal feelings of invisibility and unworthiness
• Three soul care practices to help you feel seen, known, and loved
• A breath prayer to help you release self-doubt and rest in God’s love

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: I praise You… Exhale: For I am wonderfully made.

Scripture of the Week:
Psalm 139:14 “I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.”

The Cost of Being Too Strong: How the Father Wound Disconnects Us from Emotional Wellness #167

Monday, June 2, 2025 • Duration 19:47

Feeling emotionally exhausted from always being strong? In this episode, discover how the father wound leads to hyper-independence and disconnection from emotional wellness — and learn how soul care, science, and God’s love can help you heal and feel safe again.

Description
Have you ever felt like you always have to be strong — even when your heart feels worn thin?

Many women carry the hidden weight of father wounds — growing up without the presence of a loving father, or with a dad who was emotionally unavailable. Over time, they learn to protect themselves by becoming hyper-independent, numbing the part of their heart that still longs to be nurtured, seen, and safe.

In this episode, you’ll learn how being “too strong” for too long can disconnect us from emotional wellness. Bonnie explains how father wounds often lead to hyper-independence, and how soul care helps restore trust, emotional safety, and the freedom to receive love again.

Tune in to understand how hyper-independence develops as a trauma response and how it quietly impacts your ability to rest, feel connected, and be vulnerable. You’ll be guided through a breath prayer to reconnect with God’s nurturing presence, and take two practical soul care steps — rooted in scripture and science — to begin reparenting your heart and experiencing emotional wellness.

Key Takeaways from Today’s Soul Care:
• Why the father wound often leads to numbness or emotional shutdown
• What science says about the nervous system and our need for safety
• How “being strong” can block us from receiving love
• Why soul care is a spiritual path to restoring vulnerability
• How to gently reparent your heart with God’s truth and tenderness

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: He gathers the lambs in His arms
Exhale: and carries them close to His heart

Scripture of the Week:
Isaiah 40:11 —
“He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.”

Isaiah 46:4 —
“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you.I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Get your free personal wellness assessment – and learn which type of soul care – emotional, physical, spiritual, or social — you need most. →

Learn to let go of the pressure to do more, embrace rest without guilt, and experience God’s presence in small, beautiful ways—like buying yourself flowers or getting lost in a good book.

Tune into this episode to discover how burnout blocks your joy, why it’s not your fault, and how you can begin to feel again with God's love leading the way. Plus, Bonnie shares 3 science-backed soul care practices and a powerful breath prayer to bring calm and clarity right where you are.

Key Takeaways:
- Why burnout makes you feel numb—and how to gently awaken joy again

- 3 soul care practices backed by science & scripture to find your joy
- Replace performance with presence
- A beautiful story about manna, rest, and believing God’s provision is enough

Breath Prayer:
(Inhale) God goes before me…
(Exhale) He will not let go of me.

Switch Your Mind from Despair & Disappointment to Life and Peace #73

Monday, May 29, 2023 • Duration 20:19

Renewing yourself by focusing your mind on God's goodness is a powerful way to bring joy and peace into our lives. We often forget the power of the small things in life, like a simple cherry-dipped cone from Dairy Queen, that can bring a smile to our faces. During Mental Health Awareness Month and AAPI Heritage Month, we can take the time to remember the small things that bring us peace and joy.

God's goodness is all around us, but it's up to us to take the time to recognize it and to take action on it. We can take the time to slow down and appreciate God's gifts, like the beauty of nature, the love of family, and the peace of a quiet moment. We can also take action to renew our spirit and emotions with God's promise from His Word and a practical soul care tip.

We can also take the time to read books that bring us peace and joy. Bonnie's book Sweet Like Jasmine, Finding Identity in a Culture of Loneliness, is a memoir about her journey to find her father. It explores 20 different areas of our true worth as God's beloved daughter. Reading books like this can help us to find peace and joy in our lives.
