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.
