My story
Championing women from the start & challenging the status quo
MY story
The Early Years—Breaking the Mold
From the very beginning of my career, I was drawn to spaces where women’s voices were missing or undervalued. In my early twenties, I found myself in male-dominated industries, witnessing firsthand how women were often overlooked, underestimated, or forced to fit into narrow definitions of success. Rather than accept the status quo, I became a passionate advocate for women, determined to carve out new possibilities and lead by example.
I started my first business at 24, not because it was easy, but because I believed women could—and should—define their own paths. I faced skepticism and resistance, but I also discovered the power of community as I connected with other women who shared my drive to do things differently. Together, we challenged outdated norms and supported one another in building businesses and lives on our own terms.
As my journey unfolded, I realized that true success for women wasn’t just about achievement or recognition. It was about creating space for wellbeing, self-trust, and a sense of belonging—things I often found missing in traditional leadership models. This realization became the heartbeat of my work: championing women to lead with both power and capacity.
Through every chapter, I’ve been guided by a deep commitment to integrity, agency, and compassion. I’ve learned that when women are supported to lead authentically, they don’t just change their own lives—they transform workplaces, families, and communities.
From Burnout to Blueprint—Redefining Leadership
Despite my outward success, I eventually hit a wall of exhaustion and burnout—a story all too common for women in leadership. I realized I was sacrificing my wellbeing for the sake of achievement, and that something had to change. This turning point led me on a journey of deep personal transformation, where I became a student of neuroscience, psychology, and the art of nervous system regulation.
I discovered that sustainable success requires more than ambition; it demands alignment with our natural rhythms, energy, and needs. I began to rebuild my life and work from the inside out, prioritizing ease, authenticity, and self-care. This wasn’t just a personal journey, but it became the blueprint for everything I teach and share with women today.
Over the years, I’ve worked with thousands of women, coaching, facilitating retreats, and creating innovative wellness programs designed specifically for women in leadership and business. My mission has always been to show women that they can achieve extraordinary things without sacrificing themselves in the process.
Today, I continue to champion women who are ready to challenge the status quo, reclaim their wellbeing, and rise into leadership roles that honor who they truly are. My story is still unfolding, but one thing remains constant: my unwavering belief in the power of women to lead, thrive, and change the world—on their own terms.

The personal transformation has been immeasurable. With Sonya’s support, I felt ready to accept my story (the unedited version) and use my experiences to pave out a path forward in business that serves others and makes me feel content, happy, and aligned with who I am. I now have a very clear picture of what success means to me—a balanced life where work equates to purpose.
Sonya’s work is uniquely insightful because she approaches leadership & business through a lens unlike any other coach I’ve worked with. Focusing on skill-building over quick fixes, Sonya creates space to do the real work that leads to meaningful, motivating changes in your life, wellbeing, and work.
I’m not exaggerating to say that Sonya changed my perspective on doing business, the way I operate, how I get (and ‘do’) sales, and ultimately, my life. She is ahhh-mazing! I’m confident that my business would never have gotten off the ground if it weren’t for the work I did with Sonya.
