Sonya survived a devastating car accident during law school to become a nationally recognized financial expert and attorney. A drunk driver ran into her car at 90 mph and she lived! That accident and the year that followed (taking the CPA exam, finishing law school and taking the bar exam all while in physical therapy to recover from her injuries) taught her the importance of perseverance and determination. Years later, Sonya learned that she had a brain tumor and needed brain surgery. (Nothing can ever prepare you to hear those words.) She was blessed to find an excellent neurosurgeon who made sure she’s still alive and kicking today. The months Sonya took off from work to recover without worrying about her finances reinforced that all of her hard work in finance was well worth it. Sonya went on to build a well-regarded law firm due to her successful representation of clients in cases involving credit reports, mortgages, and credit cards. Over time, other lawyers began to seek out her advice for help with their own financial issues. They were often unsure of how to deal with their large student loan debt and/or how to properly manage their money. The attorneys weren’t educated about finances. They learned about crimes and contracts in law school, not about planning for mortgages, retirement or their kids’ education. Around this same time, corporate executives started asking Sonya how to teach their employees and managers about personal and business finance. Some companies had employees who were underperforming due to financial stress. Others had managers who were struggling with using business metrics and other financial indicators in their decision making (and therefore generated less revenues and/or incurred higher costs). This all caused Sonya to realize that the next chapter of her career had just presented itself to her. Drawing on her 25+ years of financial and legal experience, Sonya now helps companies and law firms improve the financial skills of their employees, managers and attorneys for increased productivity. She provides strategies and solutions on decreasing employee and attorney financial stress for improved workplace performance and turning ordinary managers into financially savvy decision makers for higher profitability. Because of her vast knowledge, Sonya is a highly sought-after speaker by corporations, law firms, government agencies, higher education, and associations across the country. Sonya’s expertise is recognized by reputable media outlets such as The Washington Post, CBS News, NBC News, and Black Enterprise. She has also contributed to Forbes and Thrive Global as a writer, making a powerful impact on the lives of many.

Growing up in a strictly vegetarian Indian household, at home all I had was RDBS: rotli, dhal, bhat, and shak (i.e., bread, lentils, rice, and vegetables). While RDBS sounds and is delicious, try eating it every day; it not only wears on you, but at some point, with its heavy carb-laden base, you wear it. At the same time, I lived in meat-centric Kansas and all I wanted to eat was McDonald’s burgers. When I had the chance to eat without my mother seeing I devoured every bit (I didn’t dare take home leftovers). I gorged myself and then would come home and eat full servings of the dinners my mom made. Later when I headed off to college, my binge eating led to obesity. That is my story and it’s the major reason why I am so passionate about parents’ having “the food talk” with their kids and what inspired me to write my first book: “The Food Talk” A Parents’ Guide to Teaching Healthy Habits to Kids Of All Ages While I believe it is never too late to get on track with healthy eating and exercise, I (and my parents) had certainly made a lot of work for myself. I wasn’t just starting at zero; I had a major negative balance in terms of my health: a lot of weight to lose, a lot of addictions, and a lot of bad eating habits to change. It would have been so much easier to develop healthy eating habits in childhood. I have taken my passion for healthy living and parlayed it into successful business ventures. I was a former professional MMA fighter, in 2012 I founded Team No Excuses Fitness and Nutrition, a worldwide nutrition and fitness education company to help children and adults achieve their nutrition and fitness goals through education and cutting through all the misinformation. I continue to develop a following for my business and have been interviewed on numerous platforms including radio, national podcasts about my views on nutrition and fitness with more upcoming interviews. I have degrees in biology, chemistry, and physical science, and for over a decade have served as a medical consultant educating physicians and surgeons on various disease states and surgical techniques using different medical devices. Last, I am also a professional actor with credits that include two episodes of season four of the Netflix series House of Cards. I also have appearances in six films and other TV/films set to release in 2018 (see http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7578668/).
