The February 2026 Woman Within Weekend in Yucaipa, CA was an unforgettable experience: a beautiful journey of connection, empowerment, and transformation.

Women stepped courageously into their authentic selves, opened their hearts, and honored their unique stories. From moments of laughter to meaningful breakthroughs, each experience left a lasting impact and strengthened the bonds within our community.

This week, we celebrate Sonia Holstein, our creative and passionate Merchandise Coordinator and a valued member of our Woman Within community! 💗

Sonia completed her Woman Within Weekend in Racine, Wisconsin, in November 2023. In her role as Merchandise Coordinator, Sonia brings creativity and fresh ideas to life. She loves dreaming up new merchandise and finding ways to express the spirit of Woman Within through thoughtful, meaningful items. For Sonia, this role is a fun and fulfilling way to contribute her creativity while supporting our broader mission of women’s empowerment.

Outside of Woman Within, Sonia enjoys cooking, going to concerts, singing karaoke, and hosting dinner parties with friends. A fun fact about her: she grew up helping in her family’s soft pretzel business and has been twisting pretzels since she was little!
