Sonja’s Bio:

After owning 4 businesses over the last 20 year, I’m on a mission to redefine what it means to “work for a living”. Instead of finding a job, I say make one for yourself. Just so happens that owning brick & mortar boutiques was my jam. Now I teach my clients how to have boutique businesses that fit their lifestyle and that customers flock to. I do this through this blog, my popular digital products & successful coaching programs. I’m also a foodie, mystic, wife & mother.
