Sonia is 40 years old. She grew up in the suburbs of Richmond Virginia with her older brother and parents until she was 12. Her father suffered from horrible depression for four years before her parents divorced. She went to live with her father after he recovered. She got pregnant and married at the age of 20. They have two kids. She was a stay-at-home mom and then went to work in her husband's family business. That's when the pain started. Once she learned the biopsychosocial model of pain, she became a personal trainer to help others get out of pain. After the pain left, she fell into a depression coupled with anxiety. That's when she joined Ralph's book discussion group. She decided to compete in kettlebell sport and embrace life on her terms.
