The ReEducation of Sonya B.

PSA: Your perfectly planned goals might actually need a remix.90 days in, and I'm realizing some of my yearly goals need a refresh. Instead of pretending I have it all figured out (spoiler: I don't), I'm embracing the art of tweaking the plan without feeling like a failure.Speaking of adjustments, this episode features a fresh new opening and closing that makes me sound like I actually know what I'm doing. (Spoiler: I don't, but “act as if!”)If you've ever second-guessed your goals or just want to feel seen for adjusting throughout the year, this episode is for you. Let's laugh, learn, and remind ourselves that making it up as we go is a legit strategy.Listen now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

Hey friends! In this episode, I sat down with Teresa—a skilled massage therapist, intuitive toe reader, and dedicated self-love coach who also happens to be one of my closest friends. We kicked things off by sharing the wild story of how our friendship started, including a ridiculous road trip that we somehow survived after returning from Bali.We also got real about giving ourselves grace—especially when recovering from being sick and trying to get back to “normal.” Spoiler: it's never as easy as we think, but hey, we're all just figuring it out. Then there's my ongoing battle with those readers I now have to use just to see—I swear, they make me feel so old! And don't even get me started on that moment when I thought I might have to engage my emergency response plan. Let's just say life keeps us on our toes (pun totally intended).Oh, and if you love a good laugh, this episode is packed with giggling fits that will definitely make you feel like you're hanging out with your besties. My hope is that by listening to our stories—our mistakes, our moments of vulnerability—you'll feel a little less alone and a lot more empowered to embrace your own journey, imperfections and all.Below are the Instagram Pages, Movies and TV Show referenced in the episodeInstagram PagesTeresa & Shranda: @thedeependofhealing & @helloshrandalynMovies and TV ShowsSteel Magnolias (1989)Showgirls (1995)White Chicks (2004)Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)Step Brothers (2008)My Girl (1991)Game of Thrones (2011–2019)
