Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Life & Career Coach Sophia Mikelionis, a transformational guide helping ambitious women stop outsourcing their self-worth to their résumés. As the founder of Gearing Together, she supports high-achieving professionals—especially first-gen success stories and mission-driven leaders—who are ready to lead with clarity instead of burnout.

With more than 15 years in corporate finance at global brands like AbbVie, Kellogg, Ferrero, and Kraft, Sophia knows firsthand the pressure to be productive, polished, and perpetually “on.” She navigated that path herself, earning an MBA from Syracuse University and a BBA from Howard University before building a high-performance career in finance and analytics. Today, she brings that same strategic rigor to her coaching and workshops—minus the burnout. It’s a compelling, empowering story.
