Today on the Angela Henderson Online Business Show, I’m joined by the amazing Sonja, also known as The Search Queen, we'll be sharing about the importance of resilience in the world of business and life. Sonja’s story is one of profound transformation—from childhood abandonment and self-doubt to enduring a relentless fertility journey, and eventually founding one of Australia’s top Google-accredited agencies, The Search Republic. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re being tested at every turn, this conversation will give you the fire, the tools, and the perspective to rise again—stronger than ever.
