I’m all about creating an authentic and joyful movement routine and in this episode of Unapologetically Wild, I challenge the traditional focus on scientifically backed workout programs and instead advocate for movement that feels good and is sustainable in the long run. With my unique perspective as a women’s empowerment coach and military physical trainer, I explore the idea that while strength training offers incredible health benefits, it should always serve your joy and fit your lifestyle preferences. My goal is to shed light on the assumptions we make about fitness and encourage a mindset shift toward self-love and trusting the inner wisdom of our bodies.

Throughout the episode, I share practical strategies to help you bring discipline, joy, and variety into your movement routines. I remind you that motivation is fleeting, but discipline is what truly matters. It’s all about finding the sweet spot between enjoyment and commitment in your fitness journey. I share personal stories and client experiences to show how feeling good during exercise leads to long-term well-being. I also highlight the importance of building a supportive community for accountability. 

My hope is to guide you as you navigate your health journey, overcome societal pressures, and truly appreciate your body, creating a holistic and fulfilling wellness experience.

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.
