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 Easy Dinner Template
The only thing that is more challenging than spending all morning at a Mexican government office waiting for your visas to be processed is spending the whole morning at a Mexican government office waiting for your visas to be processed with a toddler…whose parents forgot her snack.
There is very little one can do about this kind of situation besides take a number, go to the bodega across the street, buy a couple bananas, and wait.
The twos
I write this as my daughter is crying in the bedroom. My husband is in there with her, trying to coax her to put on her pajamas and get into bed. At the surface is her desire to watch a cartoon show, a rare treat for her. We don’t own a television and rarely even show her our phones, but she is learning to use the potty and her reward for a good poop is to see an episode of a show about this friendly tiger kid she loves.
On our best behavior
We have moved. Twice. Once from a tiny island across an ocean, then to a different country. My daughter is 2½, and cannot understand what would make us uproot everything she’s ever known and move to a place where her mother’s seven years of Spanish classes fail to meet all her needs.
It has been a very intense time of mothering. She cries for me nonstop. She clings to my neck like a 30-lb monkey, terrified about the way the stairs look, or that strange sound in the distance. She wakes in the night and yells my name. It is as if she needs to know that I did not sneak off while she was sleeping and hop on another airplane. Yes, my love, I say, Your mama is here.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
