87. Empowering Latinas: Sonia's Insights on Embracing Change

Welcome to Dismantling Diet Culture: F*ck Being Calladita

Welcome to another episode!

Today I had the honor to share the space with Sonia Sanders, a Speaker, coach and founder of Mujeròn Movement. Sonia coaches Latinas to get out of their own way in order to take action, find their purpose and become the Mujerón of their dreams.

After participating in Nuestra Belleza Latina, a national Reality TV show on Univision, Sonia realized there was a huge need for a platform that celebrated women for who they were and not what they looked like so she decided to amplify the stories of incredible Latinas who are doing big things professionally and in their lives that go far beyond their looks. Today, through the Mujerón Movement Event, podcast conversations and her coaching program, Mujerón University she creates community by bringing women together to work on becoming the best version of themselves and create a business and life they love.

As a speaker, coach, and founder of the Mujeron Movement, Sonia has dedicated her life to empowering Latinas to step into their purpose. This episode offered a deep dive into her personal journey, the creation of her transformative programs, and her insights on self-care and personal growth. Here’s a more detailed look into the topics we covered.

Sonia shared her personal struggles with body shaming and feelings of inadequacy, beginning with her participation in a beauty pageant. The term 'mujeron' often carries negative connotations related to body size and appearance in Latino households. However, Sonia has redefined it to signify a fearless woman who pursues her goals, engages in inner work, and gives back to the community. Her 'Mujeron' movement started with just a shirt and meetups in Phoenix and has evolved into virtual events, a podcast, and coaching programs.
