Welcome to the nurture club
Hey, friend.
My name is Sonya Matejko, and I love writing words and helping people find them. As a writer, poet, and solopreneur, I put unspoken thoughts and feelings into words to make people feel seen and heard. My ethos centers on writing well and living well, and well-being is a central part of my brands and how I aim to interact with the world. In 2019, I founded Nurtured Narratives, a writing company that uplifts women and workplaces obsessed with wellness. Before launching Nurture Narratives, I spent nearly a decade in the advertising industry, working at agencies in New York City and Miami, where I gained the trust of C-suite leaders from the early days of my career. I’ve continued to nurture relationships with experts—having interviewed more than 200.
With interviews and personal essays in The Atlantic, Forbes, HuffPost, Medicinal Media, Business Insider, Yoga Journal, and Psych Central, I seek to reach—and touch—as many people as possible. I also do this through my interactive writing workshops, designed to help people make sense of any messiness in their hearts and heads and cultivate deeper, stronger relationships with themselves. My most popular workshops on letter writing and journaling have attracted more than 1,000 participants to-date and partnerships with thoughtful brands like Creative Mornings and Crabtree & Evelyn.
I’m also the proud voice behind @aforceofnurture, a poetic hub for emotional and mental well-being with a growing community of 12.4K followers. I’m eagerly awaiting the release of my debut poetry in Fall 2024 with Yorkshire Publishing. (Stay tuned for a pre-order announcement!) When I’m not writing, I’m storytelling on the mat and teaching yoga in Vienna, Austria, where I live (well). Feel free to explore one of my brands, or email me if you’re interested in talking about wellness, yoga, writing, or living in Vienna.

My Writing Story
I wrote my first book in Kindergarten (a feminist version of Cinderella—go figure). After that, I self-published a poetry book in 8th grade (selling it in middle school hallways), started writing for HuffPost and Thought Catalog in 2013, went viral in 2015 and got a call from Oprah Winfrey (okay not really Oprah, but a producer from her show!), stopped writing because I was afraid of failing in 2016, and then finally claimed my destiny and started calling myself a writer “officially” in 2019. Took long enough, right?!
Since then, my work has appeared everywhere from The Atlantic, Forbes, and MIT Sloan Management Review to in-print in Yoga Magazine. I’ve interviewed celebrities like Jewel and CEOs from major Fortune 500s companies. And on the side? I’m back to writing poetry. Now that I’ve owned my story, what’s next is just the beginning of a well-written journey.
Get to know my writing (and get to know me):
You can change directions as many times as you would like to… as many times as it takes to feel like you.
