What happens when your life is upended by a terminal diagnosis, domestic safety concerns, and the pressure of public judgment? This week, we sit down with Sonya, who traded life in BC for a ranch in Cochrane to build a sanctuary rooted in healing and nature.
Sonya shares her incredible journey through the "Midlife Rebrand" of a lifetime. We dive deep into:
The Power of Boundaries: Navigating a terminal illness diagnosis while protecting her children and herself.
The "Wild Women" Philosophy: How she uses her ranch for unstructured play, horse meditation, and community-led healing.
Redefining Control: Moving from "everything happens for a reason" to creating your own purpose from pain.
Animals as Healers: Why horses are the ultimate mirror for our stress and anxiety.
Whether you're looking for the courage to set a difficult boundary or just need a reminder that it’s never too late to start over, Sonya’s story is a masterclass in resilience and self-discipline.
