This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Sonya Weigle, Founder of Next Stage BioAdvisors and The Catalytic Collective.

Sonya has spent more than 25 years advising biotech CEOs and senior executives through high-stakes leadership moments. From early-stage CEO preparation to organizational scale, she has guided science leaders as they step into bigger roles and greater responsibility.

But her story is more than corporate strategy.

We talk about:

  • Transitioning from engineering to political science, then building a consultancy while still at Carnegie Mellon
  • Turning down prestigious law school offers to follow a different path
  • Being the only woman in the room and learning to speak truth to power
  • Balancing high-performance consulting with motherhood
  • Helping executive women redefine success in their next chapter

Sonya shares how she overcame childhood shyness to develop a powerful voice, why intuition matters in leadership, and how setting clear non-negotiables can transform both career and family life.

This is a conversation about reinvention, courage, authenticity, and building a life that works on your terms.

If you are navigating leadership, entrepreneurship, or your own next chapter, this episode will resonate deeply.
