Today let’s welcome, Sophie McCallum, otherwise known as the SELF LOVE PEDDLER

Sophie was born in New York City on November 30, 1974 to a Supermodel mum and Movie Star dad, growing up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

She had a loving family and a happy childhood, but there were times when she felt the need to punish herself.  She finally figured it out, you see, for many years she was not comfortable in her own skin.

She felt like a stranger to herself and on a superficial level she kept it all together, but deep emotional connections with herself and others were difficult.  She fled when emotions got heavy and complicated, literally avoided, ran from, or checked out of these situations.

Fast forward, today Sophie is a Certified Professional Coach, energy leadership master practitioner and school of life participant.

Today Sophie leads with love and practices what she preaches.  She knows that challenging times are phenomenal growth opportunities and consciously and compassionately loves all of the experiences that have brought her to this moment.

On her path, she has discovered her greatest gift has been learning to love herself, while guiding others to do the same.  Today, Sophie coaches women who are struggling with self love and offers coaching programs, courses and a podcast dedicated to self love, self esteem and body positivity.  She mentors and coaches women from all walks of life and helps them learn to love themselves again.  Sophie is also adding published author to her credentials, as she is getting ready to release her first book, which is all about body positivity and learning to love your perfectly imperfect body.

Sophie has 2 digital courses for those who want to journey back to self love.

When Sophie is not coaching, she plays in a rock ‘n roll band at venues all over New York, practices hours of yoga, study philosophies of Buddha, and is a lifelong New York woman, with her husband, three boys and her two dogs.
