About Grown & Growing
Welcome to the Grown and Growing Podcast — your favorite podcast for women who know that life in your 40s (and beyond) is just getting started! Sonia started this platform with the vision of creating a space where women could embrace the unique challenges and joys that come with navigating midlife and beyond. It's a place where no topic is off-limits — relationships, health, career, sex, kids, travel, and everything in between.
Join Sonia and Roberta as they dive into candid conversations, share laughs, and empower you to own every part of your journey. Grown and Growing is more than just a podcast — it’s your reminder that you’re never too grown to keep growing. Tune in and feel like you’re chatting with your best girlfriends!
Meet the Hosts
Recently, Sonia pivoted the podcast to include her longtime friend of 20 years, Roberta, and their chemistry adds an extra layer of richness to each episode. With their distinct, vibrant lives, the duo offers fresh perspectives on what it means to evolve as women in this stage of life. Sonia and Roberta are unapologetically themselves — two Black women who bring authenticity, humor, and deep conversation to the forefront, showing listeners that growth never stops.

What People Are Saying
“Just found your podcast today. I listened to the episode Get Somebody Else to Do It. It was so engaging. I found myself talking to my speakers as if we were all in the same room together. I found myself wanting to take notes to allow myself some time for reflection later. I was cooking, but next time, I plan to be prepared. This episode was thought provoking , a pure outlet for safe thoughts and ideas. I’m looking forward to “binge-watching” all the episodes. Did y’all find the 92% statistical information? Lol.”

“To say that this podcast is relatable is an understatement! As a Black woman in my 40s, I find myself nodding in “yep, I can totally relate” with every single episode. Right on time and very well done. Huge kudos to Sonia and all of her guests! These conversations are worth having. This podcast allows me to sort my own thoughts/ideas as I listen. It provides me such great and modern perspective to life after 40 that we don’t have in other spaces.”
