About this listen
In this deeply personal solo episode of Unapologetically Wild, I open up about what it really feels like to be in the middle of a transition—when you’ve done all the “right” things and still find yourself questioning what’s next.
This episode is for the woman who’s holding a big vision, who feels the shift, and who’s ready to live her truth without the mask of performance. I share my raw reflections on what it means to stop proving, to soften into surrender, and to trust that slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. It means you’re finally catching up to yourself.
This is the season of letting go—of ego, pressure, old roles—and stepping into a deeper version of peace, purpose, and power. And if you’ve been craving that kind of freedom, this episode is your permission slip.
Inside this episode, I share:
- What it means to be done performing and proving
- The energetic shift that comes when we choose peace over pressure
- How slowing down became my most powerful growth strategy
- The transformation that happens inside sisterhood and sacred spaces
- Why my upcoming retreat is so much more than an event—it’s a coming home

About Kadi
Meet Kadi Sonntag, the unapologetically wild woman leading the charge on living life boldly and breaking free from the limits society tries to set. Born in Maitland in 1992 and raised in Newcastle, Kadi’s love for sports (anything but school!) started early.
From swimming at a national level to competing in high jump at nationals and playing representative basketball, Kadi was always moving, growing, and pushing herself. In high school, she was the sports and school captain, proving leadership comes naturally.
At 19, Kadi took a leap and joined the army, starting as an admin clerk and eventually becoming an army physical training instructor in 2019. She’s served on peacekeeping missions in the Middle East, taken part in exercises in Asia, and now holds the rank of sergeant. Talk about resilience!
When she’s not leading in the military, Kadi’s got her sidekick—her dog Piper—and she’s all about empowering women to tap into their inner strength, unleash their wildest selves, and live unapologetically. Whether she’s playing for the Defence National Basketball Team or sharing her journey on Unapologetically Wild, Kadi is here to help women break free, find their power, and live on their own terms.
