I didn’t just move to Australia. I rebuilt my entire life from the ground up.

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I’m taking you back to the moment I packed up my life in Ireland and flew to Australia – no job, no backup plan, just a gut feeling and a suitcase full of hope.

What started as a one-way ticket became the turning point for the life, business, and family I have today. But the journey? It wasn’t easy. It tested my resilience, forced me to grow fast, and cracked me open in ways I never expected.

This move didn’t just change my postcode, it reshaped my identity, my values, and the way I show up in the world.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• Why I knew (even at 16) that Ireland wasn’t where I was meant to grow
• The sacrifices I made to stay in Australia – and why I’d do it all again
• What it’s like to find home in a completely new country
• How building a life here helped me become the leader, mother + woman I am today

Whether you’ve made a big move yourself or you’re standing at your own kind of crossroads – this one’s for you.

Here’s to backing yourself even when it means starting over

What if the hardest thing you’ve ever been through… was also the thing that shaped your strength the most?

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered truth behind my fertility journey and how it cracked me open in ways I never expected. This isn’t just a story about becoming a mum – it’s a story about becoming me.

Because when the path to motherhood didn’t go to plan, I was forced to do the deep work:

• To unpack the childhood wounds I’d buried
• To reclaim the parts of myself I’d long abandoned
• To stop waiting for “one day” and start living from wholeness now

This episode is for anyone who’s walked through the fire – and came out on the other side stronger, softer, and more self-aware than ever before.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• The mindset shifts that changed my fertility journey and my life
• The link between self-worth, scarcity, and why we repel what we desire
• How healing generational trauma helped me step into the mother (and woman) I am today
• Why business success and personal growth are always intertwined

Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey, building a business, going through grief, or figuring out how to take radical responsibility for your story – this episode will meet you right where you are.

Here’s to owning the hard, healing the deep, and becoming the version of you who was always waiting to rise

What does it really take to build a business that stands out, sells consistently, and stays true to your values?

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I became Sonja the Search Queen – and no, it didn’t happen overnight (or by accident).

From managing 300 clients solo to launching a multi-7-figure Google accredited agency built on trust, data, and integrity – I’m walking you through the mindset shifts, values, and bold decisions that shaped both my brand and my business.

This is more than a business story. It’s about claiming your worth, trusting your voice, and building something aligned with who you are and how you want to live.

In this episode, I share:

• How I turned Google Search into my superpower – and my niche
• The exact moment I claimed the title “Search Queen” (and why it still matters)
• Why I walked away from a job that didn’t align with my values
• The role personal branding played in building a 7-figure business
• The connection between resilience, identity, and the business you build

Whether you're redefining your brand, niching down, or finding the courage to take up more space – this episode will give you the fuel and clarity to go for it.

Welcome to the very first episode of Diary of the Search Queen!

In this first episode, I’m taking you behind the curtain of why I created this podcast, what it really means to be the Search Queen, and the life + business lessons that brought me here.

Yes, I’m the queen of Google search – but this diary isn’t just about keywords or algorithms. It’s about the kind of searching we all do when life gets chaotic, uncertain or just plain hard.

From building a multi-million dollar digital agency and navigating fertility challenges to juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship, I've learned that resilience isn't something you’re born with – it’s something you build.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly searching for clarity, strength, or your next step – this podcast is for you.

In this episode, I share:

• The personal + professional moments that inspired Diary of the Search Queen
• Why your answers aren’t out there – they’re already within you
• What resilience really looks like (hint: it’s not perfection)
• What to expect from future episodes (raw lessons, real conversations, and honest reflections)

Whether you're here for the life advice, the business truth bombs or both – thank you for being part of this journey.
