NEW GUIDE: Pitfalls to Avoid if Your Empty Nest Feels Lonely
“I hope when you come home to yourself ...there are flowers lining the front porch ...that were left from all the women you were before”

Empowered Grace is the voice of our Awakening and Becoming...
...gentle yet powerful, rooted in truth, and rising with every woman who dares to rediscover herself beyond the roles she’s outgrown.
I didn't know what made me happy anymore.
Until I created a life—and a movement—to rediscover joy.
I sat on my back deck a few years ago, watching wildlife go about their lives. The house was quiet. My husband was out in the yard. The kids were gone—grown.
The silence was supposed to feel like peace.
But it didn’t.
That day, I whispered something I hadn’t dared say before:
I don’t know what makes me happy anymore.
Sound familiar?
Maybe you know that feeling. You’ve done all the “right” things—raised a family, worked hard, gave your all.
But now that the noise is gone, the stillness has uncovered something else:
An ache. A question.
Sound familiar?
Who am I now, and what’s next for me?
You’re not broken, Sisterfriend.
You’re awakening.
The Turning Point...
For me, it hit after we moved our family from the city for a better life and finally built our dream home out in the country.
I had the peace I’d always dreamed of, but I still couldn’t feel the joy.
That’s when I realized—I’d spent so much of my life being everything to everyone else…
That I’d forgotten how to be someone to myself.
What I did next...
So I got curious. I revisited old dreams. I pursued my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I leaned into my own needs for the first time in decades.
Along the way, I blended 35+ years in healthcare with a passion for storytelling, technology, and healing.
That journey birthed ReDiscover Myself—a space for women like us who are not done dreaming.
We don’t need to start over.
We need to start with us this time.
I’m not your hero. I’m your guide.
Today, I help women over 55 rediscover themselves through soul-stirring newsletters, interactive stories, and a community of sisterhood.
I’m not here to fix you—I’m here to walk beside you as you remember your magic.
You bring the wisdom. I bring the map.
You don’t need to know exactly where you’re headed.
You just need to know you’re not alone.
And that it’s not too late.
Hi, I'm Sonia
A lifelong caregiver, city girl turned country woman,
and founder of ReDiscover Myself.
When I’m not creating for ReDiscover Myself, you’ll find me barefoot on my screened-in porch with a good book, listening to the crickets—still swatting away the bugs...
...(I’m a city girl at heart - even after more than 30 years away from the city).
My joy lives in quiet moments, deep talks, and strong coffee.
Yours is waiting to be reclaimed too.
