In this opening episode, I’m stepping into a new era of Unapologetically Wild and setting the tone for what’s to come — deeper conversations, louder voices, and more women owning who they truly are. This season is all about embodiment, expression, and releasing the conditioning that has kept so many of us small, quiet, or “palatable.” As we move into what I call the year of the fire horse, I’m inviting you to rise with me.

In this episode, I reflect on my own journey with voice and visibility — from being a young girl terrified of public speaking to becoming a woman who now uses her voice as a tool for leadership, healing, and empowerment. I share pivotal moments from my Army career, the perfectionism I had to unlearn, and the courage it took to stop being the “good girl” and start being fully expressed. This episode is an invitation to look at where you might still be silencing yourself and to begin choosing bold, unapologetic self-expression instead.

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.
