This weeks guest Sophie Van Den Akker shot to fame on season 6  of Australia’s Next Top Model. The show launched her into an incredibly successful modelling career which saw her travelling the world working with high fashion brands. 

Followers of Sophie will know that she has a thriving career and 2 gorgeous children, so it was a shock when she shared that she'd been engaged in a nearly 3 year legal battle after fleeing her family home with her two children. Sophie was at the end of the road financially and was seeking assistance from her online community.

Sophie bravely shares her story and provides hope for any woman struggling through these circumstances.
