Sophie takes you on a journey of how to question everything. In the world where we are constantly distracted by social media and being fed so much information. We forget our own autonomy and capacity to have an opinion. We have been fear mongered into never having a stake in the construction of society. We are allowed to have opinions, we all have different experiences and perspectives that shape our view of reality. It is ok to not agree on all matters of the world. If you come from a loving place and you truly take the time to understand how people are affected by different experiences. Its imperative you cultivate an opinion that is critically thought out. Those who exist in the middle ground must learn to stand in their convictions. Do not let those who exist on either end of extremes run the world. Join her as she explores the nuances of how thinking outside the accepted creates freedom.

Visible scars are an ever present reality in my world, I cannot hide them. They exist on my face permanently, this precarious way of presenting my being, I am faced with a lot more points of contention around scars than most people. The physical representation of my scars illicit reactions within others of their own… majority are held internally. In this episode I share the very important lesson to never compare scars and how this shows up in our daily encounters with people. We will never truly understand people, we barely understand ourselves and so the art of forgiveness comes into play for releasing these moments of miscommunication. Criticisms can arise in this and we can miss the connection between how we speak to ourselves is how we speak to others. Join me as I flow through parts of our world you may have never been exposed to before and learn to let it go.

Have you ever had those moments where you have had a good day but something is tugging at the fringes? Making you aware of the misery you may feel about the overall placement you find yourself in. In this episode we discuss the narrative around misery as a result of loss of connection. 
Philosophies in discussion:
The myth of the ivory tower.Mindfulness in scrubbing a dish.What you do matters, enough with the existentialism.It's not you, it’s the environment. Follow the journey:

Why can I make the bold claim of what the meaning of life is? 
Well first I had the wisdom to go and look for it, but now I have the balls to say it.
Shall we?
I discuss the forgotten cycle of life and death in the modern ways we try so hard to cheat death. Our tendency to lie about the true state of our reality.The privilege I hold in being self-aware enough to assess my life.Where do I find myself currently when I am actively practising the art of letting go?Follow the journey:

I moved to London for a man, yeah I know classic move but what if I told you that man didn't stay in London instead returned home to New Zealand… Oh f**k is the correct reaction to that, you will have to listen to the whole episode to hear how it ends!
Don't worry I was already planning to move across the world. I go into detail about the decision process and what lead me to get the h*ll out of my own way.
I share the skills it takes to move from your hometown to rather anywhere.. Another town, big city or across the ocean. Take your pick! It works in every scenario.
Now to move back into the unknown. When I say I embody what I preach, well I quit my job and don't have anything lined up as of yet! I'll go through how I'm processing all that comes with it especially the fear.
