I'm Sonia
It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m a dedicated Mentor and Certified Life Coach, here to guide you on your journey to growth and transformation.
In 2009, I began the challenging journey of divorce after a 21-year relationship. By 2010, the divorce was finalized, but shortly after, in January 2011, I faced a layoff from a career I had dedicated 11 years to, which ultimately led me to file for bankruptcy in 2012.
As a parent of two teenagers, one preparing for college and the other about to start high school, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about the future, as everything seemed to be spiraling downward.
During this time, I experienced depression, though I didn’t recognize it until a friend pointed it out. I was renting a two-bedroom condo, but after the layoff, I found I could no longer afford it. This prompted me to move a few times until my daughter started college.
One holiday season, I found myself taking inventory of what I had left after the divorce. It seemed like so little – a futon, two bar stools, and my daughter’s two twin beds (a daybed with a trundle). But in that moment, I chose to count my blessings.
I knew there were so many without a roof over their heads, proper clothing, or enough food. I’m sure I cried, but that was when my journey of gratitude truly began. Before, I would say I was thankful, but this time it felt different. Real gratitude started to bloom within me, and instead of complaining, I began counting the gifts life had already given me.
As gratitude became a part of my everyday life, I noticed a shift. I started writing down what I no longer wanted and envisioning what I desired for the next chapter of my life. The process of forgiveness also took on a new depth. Iyanla Vanzant, now one of my spiritual mentors, once said, “Forgive everyone for everything.” This became my mantra.
Today, I live by these words – I forgive others quickly, apologize when needed, and most importantly, I forgive myself.
Soon after, I saw my finances grow, and manifestations began unfolding faster. I invested in coaching, both spiritually and in business, believing in the power of the “What and Who.” (You can find more about this on the homepage.) When I embraced abundance practices, my life transformed, and I started to experience true financial freedom.
Amidst the roller-coaster of my journey, I discovered my calling: to inspire others to cultivate gratitude, to forgive freely, and to live abundantly – in spirit, mind, and body. I am here to empower both women and men, to help shift their mindset and beliefs about abundance, and to support them in breaking free to design the life they’ve always dreamed of.
