Practicing Compassion is the Key with Sophie Harvey of Well+Why Research Society

“We need to collectively build our empathy.” -Sophie Harvey

Sophie is an incredibly dedicated and influential well-being advocate. She is the social media manager and research assistant of Well+Why research institute. She owns her own business as a photographer and is currently completing a degree in Sports Management and plans to later complete a master of Sport Psychology. She is a true sport enthusiast and mental health advocate. Sophie is also an inspiration to us here at I AM RESILIENT.™

In this Episode, Sophie gives us a beautiful view into not just her own resilience story, but the innate ways she navigated her way to very powerful resilience practices that are now researched, promoted, and prescribed all over the world such as self-care, self-compassion, and exercise. She reminds us that the body knows how to be resilient and that there are ways we can integrate these practices into our lives consciously to make us more resilient.

Sophie also highlights a very important point and this is, seeking help. Since challenge is a spectrum in life, we can insidiously move into ways of being that are detrimental to our health without even knowing. During periods of significant disconnection, such as the pandemic, it is easier to slip into these ways of being and coping with it. We have seen this globally and we can see the impact of this over time, but we can also learn how to move through this by listening to Sophie’s story.

It is such an honor to have Sophie on the I AM RESILIENT. Podcast to share a story that will undoubtedly impact thousands of people. I hope you are comforted as you listen to this episode. Sophie inspires us all to put well-being first!
