9. Bonnie explores the themes of divine timing and reduction, emphasising the importance of being 'zeroed out' as a positive state that creates space for new beginnings. She discusses the cultural perceptions of value tied to productivity and usefulness, contrasting them with the spiritual understanding of worth. Bonnie highlights the significance of reduction as a process of removing excess, allowing for clarity and alignment with one's true north. She introduces the concept of divine timing strategy, advocating for a more intentional approach to life that embraces hiddenness and the power of space. The episode concludes with an invitation to her Spark Joy School, aimed at helping individuals reconnect with their gifts and navigate transitions in life.
