Mindy Sopher is one of those people you are grateful to know. She's bubbly, enthusiastic, compassionate and just plain fun. 

She's also known to deflect praise and credit. In fact, it was hard to get her to acknowledge her accolades and the work she’s done as a professor and college advisor over the last 40 years. But, the Raleigh community and NC State University haven’t taken her lead. The mayor named November 20 as Mindy Sopher Day, the NC State Panhellenic group created the top sorority award in her honor and namesake. She's even had hundreds of former students invite her to their weddings. She’s a humble servant leader and her work shines.

As a five-time cancer survivor who has the most positive attitude, Mindy is a guiding light for everyone. Here is her favorite quote from Kahlil Gibran’s book, The Prophet, “The deeper sorrow carves into your being, the more room there is for joy to fill it.”

Mindy’s message is, “Choose joy as a gift to learn from and live with no regrets.” Listen in on this great interview!

Laughing until she snorts, full of energy and always positive, Kim Eley, writer, publisher and writing coach, talks with us about transitioning from a steady job in IT that wasn’t fulfilling, to her dream job that has only grown in joy and success.

In 2014, her entire team was laid off. Her team was the favorite part of her work and she says it rebooted her world. “I realized I was sleepwalking.” She looked around for books on people who loved their work and couldn’t find one. So, she wrote one! That led to her self-publishing and eventually coaching others on the self-publishing business.

She says there were a lot of scary moments along the way, but she said if she didn’t take that leap of faith she would have missed out on so much. She says, “I have a vision. I have a purpose. I have a calling. I have something to share.”

Her tip to others? “Don’t be afraid of failure. Instead, view it as research. Don’t let failure defeat you! Move on and grow from those experiences. They can be some of the most powerful lessons learned. Harness that fear. Have the attitude that, ‘I’m going to fail, but I’m going to fail up!’”
