About Sophia:

Sophia has enjoyed three diverse careers: a decade in architecture that included working with famous 20th-century visionary Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller; running her own couture fashion business; and working as a mental health therapist in private practice. She also created Living a Fearless Life, a 12-workshop program designed to help society’s most at-risk women increase their self-esteem, which was piloted in the Philadelphia Prison System and implemented with various groups of at-risk women.

Sophia has experienced a miracle-filled life which is chronicled in her memoir, The Divine Language of Coincidence—How Miracles Transformed My Life After I Began Paying Attention. The miracles were too numerous to cram into one book that she plucked out the ones that related to death which are included in her second book, Consciousness Beyond Death—True Stories of Signs Messages, and Timing. Both books have garnered the attention of scientists and Sophia was invited to join The Scientific and Medical Network as the only non-scientist/academic. Currently she is employed by the Salvation Army as the in-house counselor at a residence that houses ex-trafficked women.

She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, Frank Mallas, who is an architect.

Life's unexpected twists led me to redraw my own path yet again - this time, as I launched into what I thought was my dream job and immediately recognized it wasn’t. A health crisis once again brought me to reflect on so many things in life. And, losing a dear friend during my sabbatical and job search put everything into perspective. 

This is a continuation of Part 1, Episode 010 and Part 2, Episode 21.  In this episode, I open up about unexpected support systems, living into my values, and my own hard career moves. 

Through my story, I cover: 

🫶🏼 How our own crises can put us face-to-face with our values, immediately letting us see the path before us to support others in their crises

🫶🏼 How burnout showed up for me and how I decided to address it differently this time around, and all the lessons learned along the way

🫶🏼 The creativity and self-work that was needed as I followed the strands that were giving me energy and joy

• How increased self-awareness and listening to your Soul allows space for wondering, curiosity, and non-judgment of yourself and others

About Deborah:

Deborah Lukovich, PhD is a depth psychologist, author, podcaster, and blogger. Her expertise is the study of the unconscious. After navigating her own midlife unraveling and reconstruction, which paralleled an irrational desire to study depth psychology, she unleashed creatively, and now Deborah is on a mission to grow a movement of self-reflecting humans. She empowers people with a framework for self-reflection focused on learning the language of the unconscious, which is how the Soul reveals clues about our deepest desires.

Dr. Deborah describes herself as an accidentally funny, awkward depth psychology nerd who is addicted to finding meaning in ordinary life events, and over-shares to encourage others to explore the deeper meaning of their lives.

Deborah’s last book Your Soul is Talking. Are You Listening? 5 Steps to Uncovering Your Hidden Purpose, combines her Jungian—based coaching framework for self-reflection with personal stories of midlife unraveling and healing wounds related to sexuality and spirituality.

Now, Deborah is publishing another more personal story. Her memoir, When Sex Meets God: a midlife story, is the juicy version of the dramatic story of her unexpected midlife unraveling and reconstruction, the version that wasn’t needed nor appropriate in the dissertation that led to her securing a PhD in depth psychology.

Dr. Deborah gathered her Top 5 Resources for Relief & Liberation for people who feel disconnected, empty, even lonely despite their success. Her guided meditation for getting immediate relief from anxiety and user-friendly tools for gaining clarity by exploring dreams are unique. Get her guide and more here.
