In this inspiring episode of Your Life Over 50, host Jean sits down with guest Sonya Nightingale, a vibrant entrepreneur in her mid-50s who runs two online businesses that empower women—especially those over 50—to feel confident and capable. Sonja is known as the “Fairy Bra Mother”, a title that perfectly fits her first business, where she has helped over 4,000 women find comfort, support, and confidence through properly fitted bras. What began as a personal, transformative experience at a bra expo led her to overcome her extreme shyness and launch a thriving business that not only changed her life but deeply impacted the lives of her clients—some even brought to tears after seeing their new silhouette and feeling seen for the first time in years. Her second venture, Blue Bonnet Travel by Sonya, was born out of her love for the trips she earned through her bra business. With a focus on disability-friendly travel, solo travel for women, and all-inclusive vacations, Sonja is passionate about helping women—especially those hesitant to travel alone—experience the world safely and joyfully. She candidly shares her own challenges, including autism, chronic pain, 27 surgeries, and moments of self-doubt, yet proves that determination, mindset, and support can make anything possible. Despite a period of marital tension over her travel schedule, Sonja's husband ultimately became her biggest supporter, recognizing how much her work meant to her. She credits much of her growth to business coaching, tools like CRM systems, and the encouragement of her clients and peers. Sonya’s heartfelt advice to women over 50 is clear: “It’s never too late to start something new. If I can do it with my limitations, you can, too.” She closes by sharing her upcoming plans for a group cruise to Alaska designed for women over 50 and the possibility of organizing other inclusive travel experiences. You can connect with Sonya via email or on Facebook (details below), and she welcomes those ready to reclaim their confidence—whether through the right bra or the right destination. This episode is a rich blend of laughter, learning, and encouragement—perfect for any woman looking for a second-chapter spark.
