From Trauma to Triumph: Sonia Rodrigues on Reclaiming Your Power (151)

About this episode

Sonia Rodrigues shares her journey from trauma to empowerment and discusses her work supporting women rebuilding their lives.

In this powerful episode of Little Give, Cindy welcomes Sonia Rodrigues, a licensed psychotherapist, author, and founder of Transition to Wellness. With more than twenty years of experience supporting women and children, Sonia shares how her own experience with relational trauma became the catalyst for a deeper calling. What began as personal pain transformed into purpose. Sonia opens up about healing from betrayal, breaking the silence so many women carry, and guiding others toward post traumatic growth. She speaks about the importance of connection, journaling, community support, and shifting the question from “Why did this happen to me?” to “Why did this happen for me?” Sonia also shares details about her upcoming solo book, her work in multiple anthologies including Unleash Her Voice, and the launch of her new nonprofit, Her New Beginning, which will provide financial, legal, and emotional resources for women rebuilding their lives after toxic or abusive relationships. This episode is a reminder that healing is not linear, silence is not strength, and sometimes the greatest little give is simply listening.
