Meet Sonny Von Cleveland
Sonny Von Cleveland is a motivational speaker, coach, and author passionate about sharing his history and experiences of sexual abuse and incarceration to aid in the healing of others. He is an ardent advocate for fearlessly and authentically owning one’s story to rise and choose growth from adversity.
He advocates for this because for five years, throughout his childhood, he was the victim of sexual molestation and violence from multiple men, and, not knowing how to deal with the trauma, he repeatedly saw himself in trouble with law enforcement, which eventually saw him incarcerated at age sixteen for eighteen years, where violent gang banging ensued for survival and protection. 
|
He resigned himself to a life of incarceration and gang life until a pivotal moment changed his life. In his late 20s, he was sent to solitary confinement, and while there, he met a Muslim man who changed his life. Over the next nineteen months, through this man's tutelage, Sonny transformed his life by learning the power of forgiveness and letting go of the past, as well as extensive self-examination and personal growth. He owes the mindset and extensive self-awareness skills he holds today to the 14,000-plus hours of personal development he garnered during his time in solitary confinement, and he now uses his transformation to aid and inspire others.
Sonny Von Cleveland is not just a mindset coaching expert; he's also a fervent anti-bullying champion affiliated with Boo2Bullying, an organization focused on youth empowerment and suicide prevention. As a dedicated advocate, Sonny regularly lends his voice as a speaker and serves as a mentor to marginalized young people in juvenile centers across Southern California. Additionally, he is deeply involved in the Anti-Recidivism Coalition in Los Angeles, where he acts as a re-entry coach and activist, supporting those making the transition back into society. Adding another layer to his extensive portfolio, Sonny has penned a new book titled "Hey White Boy, Conversations of Redemption," where he delves into transformative dialogues and life-altering perspectives. |
Meet Claire Rogers
For some of us, there are moments in life that wake us up.
Two such moments happened to Claire Rogers that woke her up and changed her life forever. The first was surviving an encounter with a 600lb angry grizzly bear in the Rocky Mountains, and the second was when a month later, Claire found herself at home, curled up on her bathroom floor, suffering from a panic attack. The impacts of modern-day work culture had taken its toll on her in the form of: Insomnia. Being in autopilot mode. Sleepwalking through life. Always being “on”. Email & screen addiction. Anxiety. Depression. Burnout. 
|
At the time, she was a Director at an American Fortune 100 company responsible for successfully managing a team of global account managers with a $3 billion portfolio. Like many individuals in today’s society, she operated in a global environment accommodating multiple time zones, which led her to ‘always being on’ – meaning being contactable 24/7. Furthermore, constant re-structuring equated to increased working hours and unsustainable workloads, which saw her go from being an ambitious perfectionist and a high performer to becoming a highly stressed, burned out, overworked leader. That first panic attack led to further panic attacks, which eventually led her to sink into her own private world of hell – chronic fear, anxiety, and depression, which lasted 18 months - a disturbing dark night of the soul, which steered her to explore not only how to recover her mental health but also to search for the meaning and purpose of life. iTopia Coaching & Consulting was born from this period of recovery and introspection. Recognising her passion for inspiring and empowering others, Claire studied coaching for two years while still employed in the corporate world. Upon completion of her studies, she resigned from corporate life and founded iTopia. She created the name iTopia by playing on the words “individual” and “utopia” because she passionately believes everyone should be working towards and living their own version of utopia. |

It’s all a choice.
Try as we might; neither I nor anyone else can change the past. Our past does not have to hold us hostage. We can’t change things said and done to us, nor can we undo and change what we have done to others. There is no do-over, unfortunately. What we can choose to do, however, is grow and take ownership of our mistakes and share our history and experiences to heal ourselves and others. We can also choose to forgive ourselves and others, and we can also choose to use our experiences to raise ourselves while giving hope and inspiration to others. We can choose to grow from adversity, and we can choose to let go of victimhood. |
