The clearest way into the Universe
is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
Hi, I’m Sonja!
Equal parts tough and tender.
Vulnerability has always been my spirituality, and toughness my middle name.
As long as I can remember I’ve been running around the wilderness trying to test myself in unique, painful, and adventurous ways… all to find the answers to life’s BIG CRAZY questions.
Why the heck was I put here and what am I meant to learn?
How do you move through discomfort and come out better on the other side?
Through writing and podcasting, I uncover the tough, and look for the tender.
