Feeling unseen, unworthy, or like your story doesn’t matter? In this episode, discover how to rewrite your story with God’s healing love through soul care rhythms that restore your identity, peace, and emotional wellness.

Podcast Description
Have you ever felt like your life revolves around others — while your own heart fades quietly into the background? You’re not alone. Many women feel invisible while carrying emotional burdens, pouring into others, and ignoring their own needs.
In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a tender Mother’s Day moment that revealed how God had rewritten her story over time. She opens up about feeling unseen in childhood, how creating new memories changed her life, and why small soul care steps matter. You’ll be reminded that your story matters — and that healing happens when you live like God’s beloved.

 In today’s episode, Bonnie will help you: 
• Understand why women often feel invisible while supporting others 
• Discover how creating new memories rewires your brain and brings joy 
• Learn the science behind why overthinking increases anxiety 
• Practice a breath prayer from Isaiah to reconnect with God’s love 
• Reclaim your identity with 2 practical soul care steps rooted in scripture and science

 Key Takeaways from Today’s Soul Care:
• Why many women lose their sense of identity while carrying others’ stories 
• How small acts of self-care and new experiences rewire your brain for peace 
• What science says about the parasympathetic nervous system and emotional healing 
• Why love isn’t just a feeling — it’s action that heals what’s been overlooked 
• How to begin living the new story God is writing over your life

 Breath Prayer:
Inhale: You call me by name…
Exhale: I am Your beloved.

 Scripture of the Week:
Isaiah 43:1 — “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.”
Psalm 27:10 — “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.”
