Meet Sondra
I grew up in a family that oozed spirituality, self-reflection, and personal growth. My parents have been giving seminars on energy, soul-consciousness and the sixth-sense since way before it was the “cool” thing to do. As a matter of fact, for a time it was decidedly uncool in my eyes!
When I was 10, my parents moved our family of seven from city-life in St. Louis, to a farm and personal development retreat center in a small town in Iowa. Immersed in the youth leadership-training program there, my after-school activities included managing a roadside motel and working in an office that handled the administration of all of the programs across the country. Instead of riding bikes to the town pool during the summer, my siblings and I were running a summer camp for 100’s of people – handling the registrations, managing the books, preparing and serving the meals, directing the events, maintaining the buildings – you name it!
Teamwork and “being of service” was a huge mantra for us. Weaved into every opportunity we had were reflections on what we were learning and how we could apply that to our inner growth, as well as teachings on how to lead from within, to follow our intuitions and trust our inner guidance.
Invaluable experiences!! She says now…
Flash forward to my adult life. I was a gooooood trooper. A loyal friend, committed girlfriend, and let’s not forget star employee. But…what did I want? What fulfilled me? What was I passionate about? I. HAD. NO. IDEA. Or so I told myself. And of course with all of the personal development training that was ingrained in me, I was frustrated as hell that I couldn’t figure it out!! This should be a breeze for me damn it!!
And then, my “aha” moment. I grew up with a family who sacrificed a lot, in my eyes, to do their “spiritual work”, and I was bound and determined that wouldn’t be me. But the more I avoided it, the less fulfilled I was.
The reality is, I LOVE helping people. I have incredibly keen awareness and insights, and I get SO CHARGED seeing people connect with their unbounded, limitless, solution-filled, SOUL states. It’s who I am. It’s why I was born into the life I was born into.
Realizing my inner calling was my work in guiding transformation, I took the practical knowledge from my years in the corporate world and returned to coaching. I became certified by Wayshowers College, an organization that has pioneered personal growth and spiritual development classes since the 1960’s, and over the past 15 years, I’ve partnered with thousands of people to achieve the results of living a complete, connected, inspired life.
When I’m not doing that, you’ll find me singing, dancing, rock scrambling, sitting at the top of an incredible vista, enjoying the labor of love of an inspired chef, or hamming it up with my husband and two young daughters 🙂
So! Now that you know a little bit about me…are you ready to chat about yourself?
I have worked with countless coaches, therapists and groups that make a lot of claims. So far, Sondra is one of the very few who backs up everything she says. She is one of the most relatable coaches I have ever met. Prior to working with her, I had terrible imposter syndrome. Through Sondra’s coaching I was able to open my eyes to deep self-reflection and have learned how to trust myself, my intuition and stop blaming others for my own mistakes. I have freed myself from a negative belief system which is priceless. I now have a true growth mindset, which will serve me powerfully in my business and personal life for years to come.
