info_outline#131 Sonya Morton-Firth - Finding fulfilment
Sonya talks to us about the importance of finding fulfilment
We talk about:
- Being told she’ll never amount to anything and doing everything to prove them wrong.
- How the best way to get good at something is to give it a try.
- And the importance of exploring your gifts and who you really are.
Sonya grew up in a single parent family, in Newcastle in the seventies where divorce and children of mixed race were not the norm. After many fights in the playground with school bullies she was told that she would never amount to anything and would be lucky to even make it to higher education.
Sonya worked as a high-flying sales executive in the City for many years, travelling between London, New York, and Miami, and enjoying the challenge of the fast-paced, high-pressured lifestyle; A woman in a man’s world, Sonya’s passion and enthusiasm always drove her to be the best, she was successful but felt unfulfilled, the ultimate failure.
Sonya left the rat race, the corporate lifestyle, to become an Entrepreneur and pursue her passion of health, wellbeing, and personal fulfilment. She qualified in fitness and nutrition, launched a brand of glamourous fitness wear for women; and competed on stage in Physique competitions. By bringing her focus to healthy nutrition and disciplined training, Sonya went from Briefcase to Bikini, proving that it’s never too late to change the way you look and feel. She is dedicated to body building and the benefits that weight training brings for women in confidence in mind and body.
As well as being an Entrepreneur, Sonya is a property investor and has built a multi-million-pound property portfolio that gives her the financial freedom most people dream of.
They say you must reach a break down before you make a breakthrough and Sonya reached this point after a relationship breakdown, finding herself jobless and homeless all within the same week.
What followed was a true transformation and Sonya reinvented herself again. She qualified as an Executive coach and became leader of the largest personal growth community in the UK where she organised large events and was MC on stage with some world class Speakers.
Now Host of her YouTube channel and Podcast ‘The Sonya Morton Firth Show’, she has interviewed over 100 inspiring guests from Amir Khan to Dr John Demartini.
Entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and Bikini Athlete, Sonya Morton-Firth is the Queen of transformation!
“When you learn to understand your mind, you will realise that happiness is a choice. That you do not have to depend on the external world to experience happiness and inner peace, but you can cultivate it from within. When you master that skill, you will start to enjoy everything that life presents to you. Life is amazing when you learn to see its beauty.” – Sonya Morton-Firth
