About us
The Break Through Mastermind
A free community for conscious leaders and creators ready to design a more balanced, authentic and delightful life.
You’ve accomplished a lot. You carry responsibilities, make decisions, care for others and keep moving forward.
But sometimes the life that worked before doesn’t quite fit anymore.
The Break Through Mastermind is a community for conscious creators, executives, nonprofit and government leaders, entrepreneurs, changemakers and others who are ready to pause, gain perspective and ask:
What do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?
Together, we’ll explore how to break through limiting thinking, set healthier boundaries, reconnect with what matters, find courage for meaningful change and create greater balance between achievement and fulfillment.
We’ll also explore the balance between our inner and outer worlds: yin and yang, being and doing, intuition and intellect, creativity and action. So much of leadership asks us to do, achieve and solve. Sometimes breakthrough begins when we make room to listen.
Our First Eight Weeks: The BALANCE Journey
Our first eight weekly gatherings will be an exploration of the principles behind my BALANCE framework:
B — Belonging - Saturday, October 3 @ 10-11 AM
Creating relationships and communities where you can be fully yourself.
A — Awakening - Wednesday, October 7 @ 5-6 PM
Listening more deeply to your inner wisdom and becoming conscious of what is calling you forward.
L — Leadership - Saturday, October 17 @ 10 AM
Leading your life, work and relationships from intention rather than expectation.
A — Acceptance - Wednesday, October 21 @ 5 PM
Making peace with what is while creating space for what could be.
N — Narrative - Wednesday, October 28 @ 5 PM
Recognizing the stories that shape your life and rewriting the ones that keep you small.
C — Clarity - Saturday, November 7 @ 10 AM
Getting quiet enough to hear what you truly want and what matters most.
E — Emergence - Wednesday, November 11 @ 5 PM
Finding the courage to become who you are becoming and take the next authentic step.
Along the way, we’ll make room for reflection, conversation, practical tools and genuine connection. We may also use poetry, journaling and other forms of creative expression as a way in, helping us step outside our usual patterns of thinking and hear what our deeper wisdom, intuition or Spirit may be whispering.
You don’t have to be a poet or writer. Creativity simply offers another window through which to see ourselves and our lives.
This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having a thoughtful community in which to discover better questions, see through new windows and hear your own answers more clearly.
Who This Community Is For
Come if you’re navigating a transition, reconsidering your priorities, struggling with boundaries, craving more creativity or meaning, contemplating a significant change, or simply wondering whether life could feel more spacious, joyful and alive.
You don’t need to be in crisis to want a breakthrough.
Sometimes you simply know there is more of you waiting to emerge.
This community may be especially meaningful for women who have spent years caring for others while also leading, achieving and carrying significant responsibility. As caregivers, partners, parents, leaders and friends, we can become so attuned to what others need that it becomes harder to hear what we need. The Break Through Mastermind creates space to reconnect with your own voice, set loving boundaries and consider what you want the next chapter of your life to hold.
Beyond our weekly Mastermind gatherings, members will also have opportunities to go deeper through Write What Spirit Whispers creative workshops, group coaching experiences and immersive retreats.
You’re also invited to explore the Free to Break Through website, where you can get to know me and the work through my poetry, songs, and reflections.
Come as you are. Bring your questions, your wisdom, your unfinished dreams and your curiosity about what might be next.
Listen deeply. Express authentically. Emerge.
Because success is wonderful.
And so is creating a life you actually delight in living.

Beyond Success: Belonging, Balance & the Courage to Put Yourself First
·OnlineOnlineOur first Breakthrough Mastermind gathering begins with the B in BALANCE: Belonging.
Before we can stretch, create, lead or make meaningful change, we need a foundation of safety and belonging. Together, we’ll explore what it means to feel grounded, secure and connected, both within ourselves and in our relationships and communities.
We’ll look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs alongside the wisdom of the first (root) chakra, exploring how our need for safety influences the way we live, lead and relate to others.
Our gathering will include a short teaching, a guided mindfulness practice, meaningful group discussion and time to brainstorm practical action steps you can take to strengthen your own sense of safety and belonging.
Come ready to reflect, connect and begin creating the foundation from which breakthrough becomes possible.

About Me
I have spent much of my life moving between two worlds.
My outer world is one of leadership and action. I’m an Emmy nominated producer and have served in senior-level government and nonprofit organizations, helped raise more than $20 million for causes I believe in, and spoken at more than 500 events to audiences totaling more than 40,000 people.
Alongside it has always been another world.
My inner world is quieter. It is the world of poetry, songwriting, reflection and Spirit. I am a published poet and author of reflection journals, my poetry has been commissioned by International Cities of Peace, and I created Write What Spirit Whispers to help others listen for and express what is stirring within them. My own spiritual seeking has taken me into the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, and other wisdom literature, unveiling the meaning and power of living in inner and outer balance.
Let’s journey together…

What’s Calling You Next? Intuition, Purpose & the Courage to Listen
·OnlineOnlineOur second Break Through Mastermind gathering explores the A in BALANCE: Awakening.
Once we begin to feel safe and grounded, we can listen more deeply.
Awakening is about becoming conscious of what is happening within an around us, noticing the patterns and possibilities we may have overlooked, and reconnecting with our intuition, creativity and inner wisdom.Together, we’ll explore the balance between doing and being, intellect and intuition, our outer lives and our inner worlds. We’ll consider what becomes possible when we quiet some of the noise around us and make space for what our intuition may be whispering within.
Our gathering will include a short teaching on awakening deeper listening to our thoughts and feelings, meaningful group discussion and a guided mindfulness and writing practice called “What Is Whispering?”
We’ll get quiet and reflect on three questions:
- What in my life is asking for my attention?
- What do I know that I may have been avoiding, dismissing or explaining away?
- What wants to emerge in my life now?We’ll also experiment with the difference between asking “What should I do next?” and “What is calling me next?” and notice what changes when we move from problem-solving into deeper listening.
We’ll close by identifying one insight that has energy for us and brainstorming a small, practical action step to honor that awareness in the week ahead.

Come ready to get curious, listen deeply and discover what may be ready to awaken within you. ✨Sonya
