We’ve all been told to “just love yourself” like it’s some magical fix. But here’s the truth: loving yourself is messy. It doesn’t work until you actually like yourself —the parts you’re proud of, the parts that scare you, the parts you hide.

In this episode, I get brutally honest about my journey from being relentlessly cruel to myself to choosing, for the first time, to like who I am, flaws, fears, and all.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unworthy, or tired of trying to force self-love, this conversation is for you.

You’ll hear exactly how I shifted my inner voice, confronted my “ugly” parts, and found a sense of ease with who I am, and how you can start choosing yourself, too.

You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re just stuck in a loop your brain created to keep you safe.

In today's episode, I'm cutting through the BS to share the Top 10 Scientific and Psychological Barriers secretly running your life and helping you self-sabotage on your dreams. We're talking about the real patterns: the fear of success and failure, the comfort of routine, and the perfectionism trap.

Knowledge is power, and knowing them is the first step to change. But I'm not only sharing the hidden ways your brain blocks progress; I'm also sharing how you can apply the SMART principle to outsmart it, and move you a step closer to your dreams today.

Plus, I guide you through one of my favourite nervous system regulation techniques to calm resistance, overcome overwhelm, and move you towards your biggest goals with grounded, unwavering confidence.

If you made it this far, hit play and start taking your power back.

Are you tired of constantly fighting change? Does just listening to your own thoughts feel utterly exhausting? I see you, and I know that feeling so well.

Here's the truth: Change is the one constant in our lives, and the degree to which you suffer from it is truly up to you. We always have a choice. We can choose to be rigid and control it all, or we can learn to flow, accept, and welcome it.

In this honest and gentle episode, recorded live from Los Angeles, I share what helps me to choose freedom over fear every day and the supportive steps you can start taking to help you come home to yourself and feel more free.

What it covers:

• Why your impulse to control everything is the biggest emotional barrier keeping you stuck and away from your true freedom.

• How to get clear on the toxic environments you might be living in—especially the quiet, relentless ones inside your own mind.

• The path to cultivating the self-awareness needed to gently let go of what’s no longer serving you, so you can step into a life that feels fulfilling and true to you.

I really loved recording this one, and I hope it finds the people it's meant for.

With love, Sophia x

Feeling stuck, blocked, or just a little over it?
If you’re in that not-so-glamorous in-between, waiting for your “big moment” or that dream to finally land, this episode is your reminder.

So many of us get laser-focused on the goal and totally overlook the messy, juicy middle that actually shapes us.

Today, I’m diving deep into that overlooked in-between. The real journey, the stuff social media doesn't show.

If you’re feeling sluggish, “meh,” or wondering, When is it going to be my time?  I made this one for you.
Whether you listen or watch, you’ll feel inspired, grateful, and maybe even a little excited to fully embrace the moment you’re in right now.

This has to be one of my favourite topics to speak on: Money.

If you want more, you're scared to ask for more, don't feel you're capable of making more, or you are just ready to uplevel this part of your life, this micro moment is for you.

In today’s short episode, I’m sharing a few simple tools and techniques that helped me uncover the money blocks that were keeping me stuck and what I did to shift them.

Because calling in more money isn’t just about what you do, it’s also about what you believe you’re worthy of.

Breakups can shake you, especially when you lost parts of yourself in it.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience of walking away from a toxic relationship, what helped me, what hurt, and how I slowly started coming back home to myself.

This isn’t about revenge or a glow-up for anyone else. It’s about gentle, grounded healing. It’s for the moments you’re still feeling the sting, doubting your worth, or wondering why it’s so hard to let go.

I offer some real, supportive steps that helped me untangle emotionally, rebuild trust in myself, and move forward much softer, stronger, and more self-connected.

If you’re in it, or moving through it, this one’s for you.

Sending lots of love x

I am so excited to launch Micro Moments, bite-sized episodes providing you with real-time support, tools, and mindset tips to help you through challenging times or moments of struggle.

Today’s first episode is on how to let go when you really want something.
We’ve all been there, clinging, chasing, forcing an outcome, stuck in the endless rat race to achieve/get/do... only to feel like the more we push, the further away it slips.

This episode offers some deep (but real) questions to ask yourself around why you might be forcing something, what’s driving it, and how you can begin to release control and support yourself in the process. Finally, see that thing move towards you :).

It’s one of my favourites. And if you take the time to explore this, I think you’re incredibly courageous.

Enjoy x

If you’ve been stuck in the loop of “when I get the job, the relationship, the next thing… then I’ll be happy” this episode is your reminder that happiness doesn’t live in the future. It lives in your now.

I’m sharing 8 simple yet powerful things I do that bring happiness into my life daily. These aren’t big, flashy milestones; they’re things that anchor me, lift me, and remind me life is meant to feel good now, not someday when I get or achieve something.

This episode is here to inspire you to stop waiting and start living, because life’s not meant to be so serious, beauty.

And just like me, YOU deserve to be happy, YOU are worthy of it, no matter how you feel or where you are in life. YOU are worthy and deserving of happines in your life daily!
