Sonia Hendrix, 37, has had a "toxic relationship" with Manhattan. Her rent increased by over $1,000 in 2 years and when she saw the renewal, she nearly fell off of the couch. She knew that she had to move to another place.

Sonia quickly devised a plan to get out of Manhattan and crossed the bridge over to Greenpoint, Brooklyn to find her new apartment. In less than 3 months, she upgraded her living situation by moving to a luxury building with amenities and paying about $100 more than the rental increase at her old apartment.

Sonia gives a tour of her apartment, showcasing each room and the things she's added to the space since moving in June 2023. She had a custom closet built for her in the bedroom and has a small office desk near the kitchen and living room to get work done for a company she founded called Gallery PR in 2017.

Sonia also shares a personal story about dealing with a disease called ulcerative colitis, which causes inflammation and ulcers in your digestive tract. Despite this disease, it doesn't stop her from working on her passion projects and living life to the fullest, which includes having a happy home.
