You may remember Sonya Jones from the 16th season of the NBC hit reality show, The Biggest Loser. Sonya was the only female finalist on the show in that season, who subsequently lost to Toma Dobrosavljevic, who lost only 0.01% more weight than she did. On today’s episode of The Aspiring New Leader Podcast, Sonya shares her journey as a contestant on the show and explains what it was like to fulfill her “secret dream” of becoming a contestant. She explains some of the challenges she had to face throughout the experience – both physically and emotionally – and how the show has positively impacted her life. Today, Sonya is an inspirational public speaker on a mission to help others become motivated to be the “very best version” of themselves.
