Sonia's Space
Welcome To Sonia’s Space Podcast! My name is Sonia, a Pakistani-American from Austin, TX.
Being raised in two different cultures, I am slowly learning to navigate my way through this thing we call life and removing parts of the culture that do not serve me. I created this podcast series as your go-to destination for self-development & self-reflection. I’m here to fuel this journey with insightful & vulnerable conversations - no holding back!
