    Keep coming back for more 👏
    Whether Sonni is interviewing World-Renowned Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Cyril Wecht, on the assignation of JFK or talking all things beauty/apparel, she never disappoints. In a world with so much noise, WGT is the perfect balance of honest conversation where being curious without judgement is ever refreshing.

    Authentic & Uplifting
    We Gotta Talk is one of only two podcasts that are on my weekly rotation! One listen and I was hooked. It’s like Sonni is in my mind and knows every topic a woman in my late 30s wants to hear. She’s a pro with incredible guests who will give you takeaways that will affect your everyday life.

    Relatable
    I love Sonni’s WGT podcast and the variety of topics it covers from light and fun to deep topics…something new and relevant each episode. I love that she wants to hear from her listeners and has an open mind to hear all opinions and thoughts on a variety of issues. This is a podcast I recommend to all my friends in our 30s & 40s.

    Great topics!!
    Sonni is so down-to-earth and reliable and she covers such interesting and important topics. Not to mention she has a great sense of humor and is so self aware. Love her and her content!!!
  • LDFree
    Excellent journalism & fun
    Not only is Sonni incredible at interviewing and getting to the heart of a topic, but she is fun to listen to. She is super sharp and level headed, and it’s evident she works hard to bring experts and interesting stories to her show.

    Sonni
    Really enjoyed listening to We Gotta Talk. Sonny’s prior success/professionalism as a news anchor, combined with her humble/kind/relatable personality, make this a winner. The icing on the cake are the episodes that Andrew appears on (and when she interrupts him, all the better). I especially like his Christmas choices for 2023.

    Skincare Anarchy!
    Loved this episode! Sonni always finds great topics to discuss, but I’m also obsessed with skincare. It’s great to find a doctor (Dr. Yadav @skincareanarchy) who can clear out the junk and tell you what products you really should be using. Thank you, Sonni!

    I so enjoying listening to this podcast because Sonni is a breath of fresh air. In a world of filters and “best of”s, Sonni keeps it authentic and humorous (which in my eyes is the best combo you can have). Her dedication to speaking on topics that are both challenging and current keeps me coming back for more. A definite “subscribe”!

  • shayshaybaebae
    RELATABLE AF
    Sonni makes me feel like I’m not alone. Her deep dives into topics that aren’t always comfy to discuss are my favorites.
  • sunmetal
    I love Sonni!
    She always talks about relevant and interesting topics that I didn’t even know I wanted to know about! She’s not afraid to dive deep and talk about issues that not everybody talks about. If you don’t already, you should sign up for her blog and follow her on Instagram.
  • Kmccarthy0605

  • holamigs
    Real talk from a real mama.
    Do you ever wish you had a friend who cut straight to the chase or did research for you, so you didn’t have to? Don’t wish anymore. Cuz we have Sonni. She real, down to earth and feels like you’ve known her forever. Her topics are always on point and you can’t wait to hear her next podcast. She’s the BFF you never knew you needed!
  • Sam Tielemans
    Love the topics
    I love how you address topics that are relevant and important, especially ones that might be a little bit sensitive, so thank you for being such an excellent resource and for your entertaining personality :)
  • Brea - The Thinking Branch
    Taking The Stigma Out Of So Many Topics!
    Sonni is a professional through and through — her interviews are well thought-out yet candid and conversational. I love that Sonni is willing to go there on the taboo topics to take away the shame and create more conversation around the real topics that we face. She makes each episode feel like you’re listening in on a chat with your girlfriend — and I often leave episodes and find myself bringing them up in conversations offline. This podcast is for every woman tired of the same-ole-same-ole — and wants to feel seen and heard for the things she actually thinks about and cares about.
  • Holly Holly BS
    WARNING: Highly addictive 😉
    The name of this podcast says it all...We Gotta Talk! Sonni has an amazing gift of making you feel like you’re part of the conversation. Her experts are all well vetted. What I really love is that Sonni does her research on each subject and asks her guests all the right questions, including the tough uncomfortable ones. She leaves time for her viewers to send in questions for her to ask too! Each episode leaves me looking forward to what she’ll come up with next!
