Sunia by Bailee Buckendorf - A book about deep listening and bold living.

Return to the instincts you were never meant to forget.


Sunia isn’t just a book—it’s a recalibration. A mirror. An invitation to reconnect with the core of who you are in a world that constantly pulls you away from yourself.

Sunia: The boldest voice you’ve been ignoring.

Sunia isn’t just listening. It’s instinct. It’s movement. It’s the force within you that already knows.

It’s bold, loud, clear, and direct. The voice that says: MOVE THIS WAY NOW.

When life shifts—when certainty slips—clarity won’t come from more opinions. It comes from learning to listen differently.

Sunia is not passive. Sunia is not about waiting.

It’s the tuning fork within you—cutting through the noise, guiding you beyond soul starvation, back to the instincts you were never meant to forget.

So you can move—not with force, but with clarity, courage, and grace.

On your own terms. Through any major life transition.

Held within the quiet that is Sunia, she finds her roar.

Cover of Sunia: Listen Deeply, Live Boldly by Bailee Buckendorf, featuring a bold, modern illustration of a woman in pink sunglasses. The book explores instinct, presence, and navigating major life transitions with clarity and depth.

In a world that constantly demands answers, Sunia offers something different. It invites you to reconnect with an ancient practice: the art of presence and integration—without clinging to absolutes.

Sunia is your companion for the journey to reconnect with the wisdom you’ve always known, the wisdom buried beneath the noise of daily life.

Not to give you answers—but to show you the power of the questions you’ve been too afraid to ask.

In this space, the “roar” is your sacred remembering—the activation of your soul’s instinctual expression.

The roar that moves mountains.
The roar that wakes you up fully in your body.

Stop searching for external validation—start listening to your own voice.


Each contemplation in Sunia is an invitation to listen—not just with your ears, but with the quiet intelligence of your instincts. To recognize the signals that have always been there.

The ones that move before words.
The ones that guide before logic.
The ones that don’t ask for outside confirmation.

This is about returning to your own resonance—your own way of knowing.

You don’t need another opinion.
You don’t need permission.

Sunia is a practice of remembering the guiding wisdom that has always been yours—and learning to trust it, no external validation required.

Your Sunia, Your Journey.

 FAQs

  • In Sikh tradition, Sunia means to listen deeply. But it’s more than just hearing—it’s about tuning into the quiet, instinctual guiding wisdom that most people miss.

    A resonance of truth.
    The tiny nudges, the gut feelings, and the moments that show up without words.
    It’s our instinctual guidance, delivered in subtle ways—if we’re listening differently.

    Sunia isn’t just a word—it’s how the author, Bailee Buckendorf has learned to move through life through seasons of major disruption.

    There comes a point where forcing things forward stops working. Where clarity, precision, and knowing don’t come from trying harder—they come from listening differently. Not just with our ears.

    Sunia is the practice of pausing before reacting. It’s the radical act of self-authority in moments when everything says, “Move! Decide now! Keep going!”

    This isn’t about stillness for stillness’s sake. It’s about integrating what’s real, what’s already known, and what’s been waiting to be heard.

  • Sunia is written to speak straight to the heart of a soul-starved woman whose instincts have been injured—but it is not exclusive to her.

    She’s the one you look at and know her eyes have a story to tell.
    She carries a secret wisdom.
    A twinkle. A sharpness. A radiance of knowing.
    Wisdom buried deep within her.

    Her leadership is powerful and subtle.
    It’s soft.
    Not because it lacks strength, but because it doesn’t need to announce itself.

    She has not suffered identity loss.
    She has suffered soul injuries.

    Her injured-instincts have made her forget how to move from her knowing.

    She is in transition—not just externally, but internally.
    Maybe she has lost something.
    Maybe she’s building something.
    Maybe she’s standing in the void where both exist at once.

    What she craves is precision in how she moves through it.

    Not coping.
    Not bypassing.
    Integrating.

    She craves KNOWING who she is.
    And moving through life as HER.

    This isn’t for the woman who wants to be empowered.

    It’s for the woman who already knows her power—but is wrestling with how to live it.

    Without burning out.
    Without shutting down.
    Without getting caught in the chase of breaking cycles.

    In fact, she doesn’t want to hear the word pattern again for a very.
    Very.
    Very.
    Long time.

    Deeper, she craves.

    This isn’t about mindfulness or nervous system regulation—though those things might happen as a result.

    It’s about teaching the instinct-injured woman how to listen in a way that activates movement.

    A way that sharpens her ability to move differently, think differently, and make decisions with clarity and depth.

    Sunia is a radical alternative to how we are taught to navigate transition.

    It cuts through the noise of fluffy and surface-level and offers something rooted, clear, and sharp.

    It is for the woman who is ready to move.

    Not just heal.
    Not just process.
    But move with intelligence, instinct, and purpose.

    If she’s tired of over-explaining herself.
    If she’s over frameworks that talk around the point but don’t land.
    If she’s ready for a conversation that respects her depth—

    Then Sunia is for her.

    Step in.
