After experiencing her own “dark night of the soul” Sonja became a passionate seeker of the Divine within herself. She enjoys learning through a variety of sources including books, nature, and her own inner wisdom. She is a mom of 3 boys and lives in Salt Lake City Utah. You’ll often find her hiking the canyon behind her home (in all seasons!), walking around her neighborhood listening to music or a good book, in nature listening to the trees, or in her backyard meditating after a yoga practice.

Romay has been defined by many roles- daughter, friend, wife, mother, homeschooler, pastor- but she’s come to realize that none of those actually define her because “she is” is enough. It’s been a long and messy journey, and she’s still grappling her way into being her truest self. She escaped modern church leadership by being too much of a rebel to fit into the mold that required her to sit down and be quiet about issues that matter deeply (and she’s still not sorry!). It’s her dream to inspire others into a path of ‘unbecoming’, where life is owned and fully embodied. She is the co-founder of All People Free, a non-profit dedicated to ending slavery in the brickyards of the Middle East and Asia.
