This episode is close to my heart. I’m sharing something really personal—my journey of leaving the military after over a decade. It’s been emotional, empowering, and deeply transformative. There’s been grief, there’s been gratitude, and there’s been a whole lot of letting go to make space for what’s next.

One of the most unexpected gifts during this transition? Manifesting a fully funded overseas trip to Samoa. Yep, flights, accommodation, the works. It all landed when I surrendered to the unknown and trusted the universe to guide me. In this episode, I’m walking you through how it unfolded and why it was so much more than just a holiday—it was healing.

I open up about what it’s really like to leave a long-standing role that’s shaped your identity. There’s a lot we don’t talk about when it comes to letting go—especially as women—so I’m here to hold space for those big, messy, beautiful emotions that come with change.

I also dive into the power of breathwork, travel, and tuning in to your body’s wisdom. These aren’t just tools—they’re pathways to freedom. Whether you’re in the middle of a big life shift or just feeling the nudge to choose yourself in a deeper way, this episode is here to remind you: freedom is on the other side of release.

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.
