Sonya Iyasere’s Transitions from Engineering to Website Designer, Surrendering, and Single Parenting

What happens when the job you built your identity around ends overnight, and God told you to surrender just the night before? Sonya, a single mom and former engineer of 15 years, shares how losing her job became the push she needed to step into her true calling as a digital experience strategist and website designer. In this heartfelt conversation, Tina and Kelsey talk with Sonya, founder of Screen Ink Design, about the transitions that shaped her life. She opens up about leaving a toxic relationship, becoming an unexpected single mother, and releasing the layers of shame that came with it. Sonya shares how community showed up in ways she never imagined, from her mom and brother to church, school friends, and Patrice Washington’s Redefining Wealth community. We also talk about: • Hearing God’s nudges before they become a boulder • The night Sonya felt God say “surrender,” and the call that came the next morning • Grieving the loss of an old identity and learning to be a beginner again • How analytical thinking and creativity can work together • Trusting the process when your business seeds haven’t bloomed yet • Letting go of control, one layer at a time Kelsey also shares her own vision of balance during meditation and the parallels between her story and Sonya’s. And if you want the full version of Sonya’s God wink, it will be featured in Tina’s upcoming book, Listen to the God Winks: Whispers That Lead You Down Your Path.
