What Do You Really Want? How to Live with No Regrets with The Life Brief Author Bonnie Wan

What do you really want? In this episode, Lizzie welcomes Bonnie Wan, author of The Life Brief: A Playbook for No Regrets Living, to explore the deceptively simple yet transformative question of desire — and the courage it takes to answer it honestly. In a time when many are facing what feels like a midlife crisis — which Lizzie describes as a crisis of desire — they discuss what it takes to uncover our truest wants and align our careers and lives accordingly.

Bonnie shares how she originally developed her “life brief” process during a challenging period as a mom of four young children and her family’s sole breadwinner. Now, she teaches this process to help others close the gap between the lives they’ve built and the lives they truly want to live, helping them break free from limiting beliefs and inherited expectations. Bonnie also shares for one of the first times publicly about her current transition leaving a 30-year corporate career as a brand strategist to reimagine her life again.

They also discuss:

• The art of “taking our time” and Bonnie’s journey to redefine time for herself and her family
• How and why writing reveals hidden desires and new possibilities
• The role of desire as a guiding force and the impact of limiting beliefs
• Practical steps to create a life aligned with one’s deepest values
• A new perspective on “midlife crisis”
• Bonnie’s current career and life transition and how she’s forging a new path centered on service and purpose
• Navigating new relationship dynamics with aging parents
