Hi everyone. I'm Hillary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Who What Where,

and this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the

process of setting aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their

second life. Today on the show, I'm speaking with fitness expert, the founder of We Rise, and

the co-founder of Aonic Sonata Greca. You may know Sonata from her work as a personal

trainer to some of Hollywood's biggest stars, notably one Kim Kardashian, but fitness wasn't

always her full-time gig. She started out working as a financial analyst in New York, but

knew that she wanted to work in health in some way, some day.

Eventually, she moved into pharmaceutical sales,

and there she developed a deep understanding

of medication and physiology,

setting the foundation for her pivot into fitness.

While working in sales,

Sonata started posting videos of her full-length workouts on

Instagram. Her platform grew seemingly overnight, and before she knew it, folks like

Bibi Rexa and Miranda Kerr were asking Sonata to train them personally. Today, Sanada has her own

app called We Rise, an online platform where she helps millions of people build healthy active lifestyles.

And her next venture was co-founding Aonic, a new science-back supplement company that serves as a great addition to any wellness routine.

I love talking with Sonata about how she got to where she is today, and now, on Second Life, it's Sonata Greca.

Sonata, are you ready?

I am.
