This week on the Orange County Power Players Podcast, Danny Flores welcomes Sonya Herburger—a powerhouse sales professional, mature model breaking beauty standards, and award-winning children’s author. With warmth and wisdom, Sonya takes us on a journey through her remarkable life: from fitness instructor to top sales rep, from a devoted mom to a passionate dog rescuer, and now, a voice for healing through storytelling.

In this episode, Sonya opens up about her career evolution, overcoming personal and professional adversity, and her drive to give second chances—both to animals and to herself. She shares the inspiration behind her children’s book Willie’s Quest for a Home, the raw truth behind her upcoming adult memoir Fairy Tale to Nightmare, and how heartbreak fueled her creative fire. Plus, hear how Sonya’s eight rescue dogs became her family, her daily motivation, and even her co-stars in her storytelling journey.
