Sonia Satra: From Acting To Coaching To Authoring ‘What If It Were Easy: Using Movement & Mindset To Create Success In Life, Love, And Business’

If you are a fan of daytime dramas, you may recall the characters of the young Lucy Cooper Spaulding on Guiding Light and the so-called “psycho” nurse Barbara Graham on One Life to Live. Both were played by Sonia Satra, and it led to more roles for the actress (including the films Hyacinth, Intrepid, and The Drum Beats Twice, and the limited TV series The Men Who Built America and American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story, not to mention an array of producing credits). But Sonia Satra, who still acts, also had another path in mind…life coach, entrepreneur and mind body expert. And now she has authored her first book, What If It Were Easy: Using Movement & Mindset to Create Success in Life, Love, and Business, which officially launches on Tuesday, October 17.

“I didn’t major in acting in college, but I did take classes, I studied in Los Angeles, and I started to do the L.A. thing thing…meet people and get an agent,” said Sonia Satra. “I also began studying mindset at that time because you get rejected a lot as an actor and I noticed that the people who were working seemed to be able to persevere through that. So, that was really the beginnings of mindset for me.”
