SEO is often framed as either overly technical or mysteriously out of reach. In this solo episode, I break it down in a grounded, approachable way. I share how I approach keyword research, how search intent guides website structure, and why SEO works best when itâs built into the foundation.
We also talk about realistic timelines, why SEO takes time, and how focusing on core evergreen content can support your website for months and years to come.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie is joined by dementia coach and advocate Laura Smothers-Chu, founder of Joy in Dementia. Laura specializes in helping adult children who are supporting a parent with dementia when they do not live in the same home.
Lauraâs dad was diagnosed with dementia when she was twenty-eight. Even working in healthcare, she could not find resources that spoke to her experience as a daughter living apart from her parents. Everything was geared toward the primary caregiver under the same roof. So she created what she needed and now guides other long distance caregivers through both the practical logistics and the emotional weight of this journey.
We talk about:
How Lauraâs dadâs diagnosis led her to create Joy in Dementia
What âlong distance caregiverâ really means beyond miles on a map
The invisible guilt, grief, and helplessness adult children often carry
Why long distance caregivers are actually uniquely positioned to help
Practical ways to support your parents from afar without taking over
The importance of planning: POA, wills, elder law attorneys and finances
Staying present with your parent while still preparing for the future
Finding moments of joy inside a dementia journey that is also deeply heavy
How Laura weaves mindfulness, human design, and intuitive insight into her work
Her free guide on dementia stages written specifically for long distance caregivers

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Iâm joined by leadership expert Terri-Ann Richards for a real-time walk-through of my Expression Guide â a tool I created to help people understand how their authentic voice is meant to be expressed through astrology and human design.
Iâm Bonnie Sorsby â a multidisciplinary artist and brand strategist who brings together creative direction, intuitive insight, and grounded astrology to help people express who they truly are. Through art, design, and chart work, I support clients in finding a voice, visual identity, and way of showing up that actually feels good.
Terri-Ann bravely volunteered to explore her own expression in this session, and what unfolded was a deeply resonant conversation about leadership, energy, timing, and the truth of finding your voice.
Together, they explore:
Why Terri-Annâs voice lands as clear, precise, and practical (and how perfectionism tries to keep it quiet).
How her nonlinear, intuitive inner world shapes the way she speaks, teaches, and leads.
The role of Venus and Mars in the 11th house and why her work always circles back to community, spotlighting others, and serving the greater good.
What it really means to be a Projector with a defined throat in human design â including timing, invitations, and why she canât (and shouldnât) work like her Generator friends.
The âgates of expressionâ in her chart that speak to simplifying complex ideas, sharing lived experience, and waiting for the right emotional wave before she speaks.
How burnout, boundaries, and delegation have reshaped the way she uses her voice and energy as a leader.
If youâve ever wondered âWhy canât I show up the way other entrepreneurs do?â or felt like your voice is âtoo much,â âtoo sensitive,â or âtoo different,â this conversation will feel like a permission slip to honor your own design.
About Terri-Ann Richards
Terri-Ann is the founder of Lighthouse Leaders Group, where she helps organizations and leaders build inner capacity â resilience, grit, and adaptability â through consulting, training, speaking, and writing.
Her upcoming book, Becoming the Eight Percent, is all about rewiring your mind, rewriting your story, and rising anyway.
Her upcoming TEDx talk on the belief gap and why so many people donât pursue their potential because of fear of judgment and ridicule.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Iâm joined by my sister-in-law, Julianna aka âJulesâ âdoula, menstruality guide, and the creator behind JULES ALMA, a space devoted to honest, deep, holistic insights on living a blissful life in a female body.
Jules believes that womenâs bodies are widely misunderstood and undernourished in our modern world, and sheâs devoted her work to helping women reconnect to the wisdom we were never taught to honor. We talk about cyclical living, the emotional and physical power of our bleed, how to nourish ourselves through each phase of our cycle, and why living in tune with our hormones can bring more ease, clarity, and vitality into everyday life.
She also shares about Yoni mappingâwhat it is, how it works, and why this long-forgotten practice can be so transformative for emotional release, pelvic health, and deep reconnection with the most innervated part of our bodies.
If youâve ever felt like you âshouldâ know more about your cycle, or youâve been craving a more grounded, holistic approach to womenâs health, this conversation will feel like sitting with a warm cup of tea and finally getting the education you always needed.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie and fellow soulful business strategist + numerology guide AnnMarie McKenzie explore awakening, emotional intelligence, energetic coding, and the cycles shaping who weâre becoming.
AnnMarie shares how her motherâs passing in 2014 opened a deep doorway into emotional intentionality and eventually numerology â a system that felt more like remembering than discovering. Together, Bonnie and AnnMarie explore how our wiring, intuition, patterns, and nervous systems influence the way we lead, create, and evolve.
Inside the episode:
Numerology as a language of frequency and soul design
Emotional intelligence and nervous system leadership
Why spiritual entrepreneurs often recreate burnout cycles
The collective energy of 2025 as a universal 9 year
What 2026 as a universal 1 year is asking of us
Pivoting without burning everything down
Visibility, identity, and sharing your deeper gifts

I also share how to show up in a way that feels good, rooted in your own energy and design.

In this episode of Sacred Work in Progress, Bonnie welcomes visual artist Pia Dugger for a heartfelt conversation about creativity, motherhood, and finding her way back to painting after putting it aside for a season of life. Pia shares how her background in design and her time working outside the arts shaped her perspective, and how returning to her practice became a source of healing and renewal.
Together they explore what it means to balance a love of technology with a deep connection to nature, how authenticity shows up in the creative process, and why the story behind a piece can be just as powerful as the work itself. Pia also opens up about painting alongside her children, building structure into her studio practice, and the joy of preparing for her upcoming solo exhibition.
