STORY CURATOR and PODCAST HOST, WENDY BONIFIELD
If you’re looking for Wendy Bonifield, you’ll probably find her somewhere telling a story—likely with a little humor, a lot of heart, and an open chair waiting for you to join her.
Wendy is the host and creator of the podcast On Carlson Drive, a reflective and often whimsical journey down a dusty little dirt road of memories. Each episode invites listeners to settle in, pull up a chair, and walk with Wendy through stories of family, love, faith, laughter, and the beautifully ordinary moments that shape who we are. Along the way, she welcomes conversations with the people and characters who bring those stories to life, reminding us that every person carries a story worth hearing.
In addition to podcasting, Wendy is the author of the children’s book A Little Boy to Love. The book, illustrated by her daughter Erin Johnson, captures her signature storytelling style—gentle, imaginative, and full of wonder—celebrating connection, courage, and the quiet magic found in everyday life. Whether writing for children or speaking to adults, Wendy’s work is rooted in the same truth: stories help us see each other more clearly.
Wendy’s voice—both literal and literary—is warm, approachable, and deeply human. She has a gift for noticing what matters, naming it with honesty and grace, and inviting others to do the same.
