Season 1: Episode 11: Getting in the Room and Finding Your Voice with Sona Butterfield

Sometimes your next opportunity starts with a conversation.In this episode of Real Talk, Real Growth, Working Wardrobes CEO Bonni Pomush sits down with entrepreneur, global relocation strategist, and Working Wardrobes alumna Sona Butterfield for a candid conversation about rebuilding, speaking up, and finding community.Sona shares how her career took her from handling cargo at FedEx to helping people relocate internationally, and how moving to California for her son’s medical care brought unexpected challenges, including homelessness. She reflects on the support she received from Working Wardrobes, the power of continuing to learn, and why her advice to anyone navigating a career transition is simple: “Get in rooms.”With humor and honesty, Sona reminds us that asking for help, making connections, and refusing to let others define our potential can open doors we never imagined.
