Welcome back to the What Authenticity Means to Me series, where I talk to people I admire about what authenticity means to them! (You can also listen anywhere you get your podcasts.)
Wild Cozy Free is a community for like-minded souls committed to being their authentic, vulnerable, messy selves. I post a personal essay or conversation from this ongoing series every week, and publish additional work for paid subscribers.
Click here to read my reintroduction post from my substack anniversary, to learn more about me and the origins of this blog!
In a snapshot, I’m a writer and coach, who has also been an actor, associate producer, fourth-grade teacher, temp receptionist, development associate, and much more.
I help people create lives that feel as good as they look. I’m curious about the business of being human; all of the nuanced details, emotions, and attributes that make up who we are.
I’m currently offering discounted individual sessions to celebrate 100 hours of coaching! I’m close to receiving my ACC credential and it feels so surreal! Check out the details in the post below, along with the link to book a session.
It’s time for Part 2 with the incomparable Sonia Goldberg aka bestie of almost a *decade* from our London study abroad days! This episode is only available for paid subscribers.
Sonia Goldberg (she/they) is a performer, writer, educator, and a proud Chicago native, here to stay. Recent acting credits include American Psycho the Musical (Kokandy Productions), Pippin (Music Theater Works), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Oak Park Festival Theatre), and Princess Winnifred in Once Upon a Mattress at Theo, for which they received a Jeff Award Nomination for Best Performer in a Principal Role. Sonia has also collaborated with Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Chicago Children’s Theatre, Northlight Theatre, First Floor Theater, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, and many more.
As a writer, her TYA choose-your-own-adventure play Think Fast, Jordan Chase! was developed through Filament Theatre’s SPARK program in 2021, which led to its World Premiere in 2023. Sonia was recently chosen as a finalist for Definition Theatre’s New Play Commission, Amplify (Series 4).
She works in the education department at Court Theatre, and is a company member with Playmakers Lab.
They’ve studied at Butler University, LAMDA, and The Moscow Art Theatre School. Sonia is represented by Grossman & Jack Talent. www.soniagoldberg.com, IG: @soniagoldberg

Wondering why I offer paid subscriptions? Wrote a whole post about that - and interestingly, I think it’s my second most read overall!
