For over two decades, Sonya Allen has lived, worked, and evolved within the ever-shifting landscapes of Paris. With a background in international small business development, creative strategy, and editorial curation, she has forged a path that merges professional reinvention with the deeply personal experience of relocating, repatriating, and reshaping one’s life abroad.
At the heart of her work is a deeper exploration—how movement, whether by choice or necessity, reshapes identity, sharpens resilience, and reveals unexpected opportunities.
Sonya helps organizations, professionals, and expatriates recognize the unspoken skills they acquire, navigate uncertainty with clarity, and harness the personal and professional growth that comes with movement.
This is not about “reinvention” as an external pursuit, but about understanding how change itself—at this level—becomes a steady foundation. Through speaking engagements, workshops, and advisory sessions, she offers a perspective that is neither prescriptive nor cliché, but deeply human.
Sonya explores how to Pivot, Pause, and Segue — with a re-framing approach, not as rigid steps, but as an unfolding process that allows each person to carry forward their own expansion with purpose, approaching change with self-reflection, curiosity, and intention — wherever that may lead.
