Glass Half Full & Feeling Aligned with Bonnie Crafter

In this episode, I journal and chat with the vibrant Bonnie Crafter. 

From our journal session together, Bonnie shares how she’s currently navigating a season of personal change, letting go of limiting beliefs and embracing a mindset that supports and validates how far she’s come. 

She describes how her glass half full outlook has been shaped by learning to forgive herself.

Bonnie’s story about recently skydiving, became a metaphor for doing hard things and gaining perspective. She describes how facing fear and stepping out of her comfort zone has helped her reconnect with her potential and purpose.

The conversation touches on:

• The transformative power of forgiveness and how it fuels optimism
• Learning to love and rely on yourself instead of seeking external validation
• Shifting language and mindset, from “difficult” to “challenging”
• How drama school and improv has helped Bonnie remove emotional masks and build self-awareness
• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who inspire you in tangible ways
• Letting go of ego and embracing humility as a path to personal growth

Bonnie shares her experience with journal writing, how it’s been a tool she’s returned to during times of emotional intensity. Using a guided framework was eye-opening for her, helping her to gain insight and alignment. 

It’s a feel-good episode full of leaps, aha moments and a little nudge to trust yourself, take the jump, and enjoy the view on the way down.
