I'm so thrilled to bring you this conversation with Bonnie, who shares her beautiful journey of rediscovering herself through motherhood, creativity, and deep spiritual work. If you've ever felt like becoming a mom meant losing touch with who you are — or if you've struggled with imposter syndrome and that nagging voice telling you you're not "enough" — this episode is for you.

Bonnie opens up about how unused creativity doesn't just disappear — it can turn into anxiety and disconnection. But when we give ourselves permission to explore, create, and honor our authentic voice, everything shifts. We dive into the power of storytelling for women, working with the chakra system to understand and balance our emotions, and why feeling ALL your feelings is not only safe — it's necessary for personal growth.

This conversation is equal parts grounding and expansive. We talk about overcoming imposter syndrome, taking small but meaningful steps toward your creative goals, and how shifting your perspective can completely transform your experience of motherhood and life.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How motherhood can be a powerful catalyst for self-discovery and unleashing creativity
• Why unused creativity often shows up as anxiety — and what to do about it
• The connection between your heart chakra and throat chakra, and how to balance them for authentic expression
• Why all your feelings are safe to feel (and how emotional safety changes everything)
• Practical ways to overcome imposter syndrome and trust your unique journey as a creative mom
• How small steps and perspective shifts can lead to profound transformation in motherhood
• Bonnie's approach to storytelling as a tool for empowerment, authenticity, and elevating women's voices
• Understanding the chakra system and using it as a guide for emotional balance and spiritual growth

Sound bites you'll love:

• "I am enough just because I'm here."
• "I do what is fun and enjoyable for me."
• "All my feelings are safe to feel."

Welcome back to Color Outside The Lines! After a season of saying “yes” to new opportunities and pressing pause on this podcast, I’m so excited to be back with you. Today’s episode comes from a place I know many of us have found ourselves in lately: navigating uncertainty, disruption, and the pull toward fear and scarcity.

Fear, insecurity, and scarcity mindsets can take over quickly — and they keep us stuck in freeze mode, disconnected from our power, and unable to show up for our families, businesses, and communities. But the truth is: you are more powerful than that. In this episode, I’m sharing three simple, grounding practices that I use in my own life to rise above fear and scarcity without bypassing the real emotions we’re experiencing.

These tools aren’t about toxic positivity. They’re about creating safety, calm, and resilience so that you can keep showing up in the world as your highest self.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why it’s okay to pause, shift priorities, and honor the season you’re in.
• How anchoring into simple routines and rituals can calm your nervous system when everything feels chaotic.
• The power of creating an “emergency kit” to support yourself in moments of shock, grief, or scarcity.
• A mindset practice called “Complete the Sentence” that helps train your brain to notice safety, possibility, and abundance each day.
• Why supporting yourself first is the key to staying engaged, resilient, and able to take meaningful action in your community.

These practices are small but powerful ways to protect your energy, reclaim your peace, and keep your vibration strong — even when the world feels heavy.

If today’s episode resonates with you, I’d love to hear which practice you’re going to try first. Send me a message over on Instagram: @iamkristacannon.

And remember: you are powerful, you are capable, and you always have permission to color outside the lines.
