Spark Joy

Creativity, Calling, and the Courage to Continue. Bonnie explores resistance and persistence as central forces in the creative and spiritual life.Resistance often appears just as we are about to step into meaningful work. It shows up as fear, self-doubt, hesitation, distraction, and false humility. Drawing on the work of Steven Pressfield and personal experience, Bonnie unpacks why resistance is not a sign to stop, but often a signal that the work matters.This episode is a conversation about learning to recognise resistance for what it is, and choosing persistence anyway. It is about returning to the work you were called to do, even when motivation fades or fear grows louder.Bonnie shares how creativity is not self-indulgent, but a responsibility. A gift meant to be stewarded and expressed. She also speaks to the role of mentorship, spiritual maturity, and disciplined return in overcoming internal obstacles.This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, blocked, hesitant, or unsure but senses they are meant to create, lead, or contribute something meaningful. To become conscious of their capacity, claim it, and create the work they are here to offer, without fear or resistance diminishing their expression.00:00 The Journey of Resistance and Persistence05:41 Understanding Resistance in Creativity12:12 The Role of Fear in Resistance16:02 Recognising Resistance as a Sign19:37 Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt24:32 The Cost of Pursuing Your Calling30:15 The Urgency of Action Against Resistance35:06 The Gift of Creative Work39:24 Invitation to Mentorship and GrowthCome say hi 🤍I’d love to hear what resonated with you in this episode.Instagram: @itsbonniebrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1858Y74FyW/?mibextid=wwXIfrYouTube: https://youtube.com/@bonniebrownsparkjoy?si=jHfzG6RaiHpG9JZVIf this episode encouraged you, please consider leaving a review.It truly helps this message reach the women who need it most.

EPISODE 3 — Trusting My Life’s Purpose & Being BigReclaiming My Voice, Rising From Loss & Stepping Into Who I Really AmIn this week’s episode, I open up about a season of profound surrender,  a time when my life went through what felt like a full-scale eruption. I talk about losing a career, navigating death and divorce, and experiencing wave after wave of endings. It was uncomfortable, disorienting, and confronting.But in the emptiness that followed, something unexpected happened:I finally had the space to discover who I truly am and what I’m actually here to do.I share openly about a period in my life when people didn’t want me to speak up, lead, or initiate change. They were uncomfortable with how my voice could shift things. And over time, I learned to hold myself back — until life forced me into a place where silence was no longer an option.This episode explores what happens when your purpose — the part of you that is expressive, communicative, bold, and catalytic — refuses to stay quiet any longer.I talk about: • What it feels like to rise from a season of loss and find purpose on the other side • Realising that being a changemaker isn’t a flaw — it’s part of my design • How suppression affects your confidence, communication, and identity • The moment I realised my voice is meant to move things forward • The emotional and energetic process of releasing your voice after being shut down • Why expression, storytelling, commentary, and communication have always been my lane • The steps I’m taking now to build a life and body of work around that purpose • How speaking out — even in small ways — can shift your life’s trajectory • What “being big” truly means when it comes from authenticity rather than egoThis episode is for anyone who has ever felt held back, minimised, or misunderstood… yet still senses they’re meant for something larger than the roles they’ve played so far.If you’re in a moment of transition, reinvention, or rediscovery, you’ll find yourself in this conversation.⸻Why I’m Sharing This NowAs I begin letting my voice come through in a new way — through this podcast, through new work, and through creative expression — I want to connect with others who are feeling an inner push toward their own purpose.My hope is that this episode becomes a kind of permission slip:A reminder that your voice matters, your contribution matters, and your purpose deserves room to grow.I also share a little about what’s coming in Spark Joy School in 2026 — frameworks, communities, and experiences designed to help people step into the work they’re here to do.And if you’d like to meet in person, I’m hosting an intimate dinner in Sydney. Send me a DM on Instagram or Facebook if you’d like details — I’d genuinely love to hear from you.⸻Key Themes • Reinvention after loss • Reclaiming your voice • Purpose, identity & expression • Being a changemaker • Rising into bigness • Navigating endings & new beginnings • Creating your work in the worldIf You’re New HereEvery episode of The Spark Joy Podcast brings clarity, insight, emotional intelligence, and practical steps to help you rise into the work and life you feel drawn to lead.
