Yesterday I had a such a beautiful conversation ab Yesterday I had a such a beautiful conversation about grief with Di Atherton. Not the grief of losing someone we love, but rather a quieter grief that we rarely talk about. The grief that comes with midlife. (keep an eye out for the podcast episode, coming soon.)

The grief of ageing. Our changing bodies. Past relationships. Unlived dreams. Versions of ourselves we thought we'd be by now.

I've been reflecting on that conversation today, and here's what I'm learning. 
We can hold grief and still reach for joy.
We can honour the past and still make room for new desires.
It’s not too late.

And yes, sometimes I see someone else's journey or highlight reel and wonder if I’m behind.
Sometimes I too get caught up in the comparison spiral. 
Then I remind myself that this is my story. And I get to write this next chapter exactly how I want it.

And I want it to be bold.
To be beautiful.
To be playful. 
To be the best yet!

Midlife is a delicious experiment.
And I'm making it count. How about you? 💜

"The Midlife Striptease"? "We Don’t Talk About Püs "The Midlife Striptease"?
"We Don’t Talk About Püssy"?

I get it. The names of my offers raise eyebrows 🤨
They stir something in you. 
They make you pause, tilt your head, maybe even clutch your pearls.

'WTF is Sonja up to!?'

But here's the truth:
That reaction?
It's part of the work.

Because for so many of us, especially womxn in midlife, the words püssy, pleasure, striptease, even power have been coated in shame, secrecy, and silence.

I didn't come here to play small.
I here to disrupt, to activate, to create change.
To reclaim the words that once made us shrink.
To show that language is a portal.
And that liberation begins with the words we dare to say out loud.

This is the work I'm here to do.
Uncomfortable? Sometimes.
Sacred? Always.

Words have power.
And we have power.

If you've ever felt stirred by the words I use…
Good!
That means the medicine is working 💜

There's a certain courage that comes with midlife There's a certain courage that comes with midlife that I think we don’t speak about enough.

The kind that's quieter, deeper.
The kind that doesn’t scream for approval or ask permission.
The kind that does the hard things, especially when no one's watching.

Entrepreneurship can be brutal.
Midlife can be a reckoning.
And when the two meet?
You learn just how strong you really are.

These past couple of months business has been slow...
Like, deep breath, reach-out-to-your-entire network kind of slow.
Like, "Hey, here’s how I can help you / please recommend me if it feels aligned" kind of slow.

That's not failure.
That's courage.

It takes tenacity to keep showing up.
To keep trusting your gifts.
To market yourself when it's vulnerable.
To say: "I still believe in my work. I still believe in my value. I still believe in me."

If you're in that season too, I see you. I respect the hell out of your resilience.
Let's keep walking, even when the road is uphill.
Even when it's unsexy.
Even when it's hard.

Because we can do hard things.
And we're not here to shrink.

We're here to strip away what doesn't serve…
To be courageous, to be bold and to rise 💜
During The Midlife Striptease we're taking it ALL During The Midlife Striptease we're taking it ALL off! 💦

The masks.
The shoulds.
The stories that say,
"You’re too old."
"You're too much."
"You're not enough."

Midlife is an invitation to strip away what no longer serves you.
And reveal the version of you that’s been waiting to take centre stage.

She’s bold.
She’s soft.
She’s wild.
She’s free.

And on 29 April, she’s coming undone, in the best way possible 🔥

The full moon eclipse is here, and with it comes a The full moon eclipse is here, and with it comes a powerful invitation. It's time to let go of what no longer serves you.

Use the next few days to reflect, to clear space, to move your body. Trust that whatever is leaving is making room for something greater! 

You've got this. Let me know what you're letting go of 💜
