Navigating the Road to Joy
A Map-Based Guide from Grief to Authentic Joy
COMING 2026
About the Book
Navigating the Road to Joy blends my experience as a professional Tour Director with my personal journey through early loss to offer a compassionate, map-based framework for emotional healing.
This isn’t a book about shortcuts — it’s about comfort stops, honest itineraries, and the courage to keep moving toward a joy that grows within sorrow.
WHY I WROTE IT
A Note from Sonya
After years of speaking about grief, I realized my keynote was overflowing with stories and tools that couldn’t fit into an hour on stage. People kept asking for more—more hope, more steps, more maps.
So I wrote the book I wish I’d had when I was lost: a practical, kind guide for anyone traveling the hard road of loss.
