Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for BodyStory: Mother. I cannot wait to join you on this journey as we dive deeply into ourselves, our bodies, and our mothers.
In six weeks, you’ll gain a new understanding of how your body was shaped by your mother, and how you made it your own. At the end of the course, you’ll have written your very own sexual coming of age story – the tale of how you separated from her and became more of you.
The course is designed to be digested at your own pace, as radical self discovery through writing is a personal experience you should work through taking as much time as you need. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find a tutorial that explains how to access the course portal. We’ll also be gathering live for Q&A sessions – if your registration is after Nov 8th, you’ll be able to access recorded Q&A sessions in your portal, and can still submit questions for me via email as well! You’ll find all the details you need to join the Q&A sessions below:
When: Six Mondays, beginning November 14 through December 19, beginning at 2 p.m. Pacific Time
Where: Zoom
Password: 233773
What to bring: A notebook and pen (some weeks may require additional items that will be included in the reminder email)
I’ll send a reminder the day of, but mark your calendar now so the time is blocked off. While I love it if you attend live, I understand that life is, well, life. I will record each session and post it on my website within 24 hours. (To access the recording, you’ll need to log in using the credentials you created when you purchased the course.)
Looking forward to seeing your BodyStory come to life.
Much love,
Sonja

In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."
The Journal
The mysterious musings of my spiraling spine
I injured my knee nearly three years ago. But if I’m being honest, the pain began in 1987.
That was the year I bent over in front of my pediatrician as he showed my mother the growing curve in my spine. I was ten years old. I remember feeling cold, wearing only fuchsia underwear that were a size too big for me and, I felt, slightly risqué for my age. As they went over the details of the progression, treatments, and complications (which included death from suffocation), all I could do was wish that I had chosen different panties.
How to clear the fog
There are many memes about 2020 being a do-over. I laugh too, but I always add an extra punch line: There are no do-overs. There is only what we are given and what we do with it.
Many people have buried themselves in a fog these past six months. It’s the mind’s natural response when faced with too much: COVID-19, racial reckoning, the cruel joke of online schooling, presidential disasters, wildfires…
