  • In today’s episode, I’m dedicating this time to my dad as we mark the second anniversary of his passing. This day brings up so many feelings—some days are really hard, and others feel almost normal. It’s a reminder of how love and loss can shape us in ways we often don’t see.

    I share the story of the last day I spent with my dad and how I’ve been working through my grief. I didn’t realize how much I was still hurting and how my feelings of anger and abandonment were tied to losing him. It’s been a journey to understand these emotions, especially as unexpected moments can bring them flooding back. I talk about how important it is to feel our feelings instead of pushing them away, even when it’s uncomfortable.

    I invite you to listen to this episode and join me on this journey of healing. If you’re dealing with loss or looking for personal growth, I hope my experience helps you feel less alone. Tune in, and let’s explore this together!

    “The world needs to understand that our bodies are sacred, that our bodies, that gods and goddesses can look like black-bodied people.”


    "I'm called to the medicine of ancestral restoration. I create healing opportunities to reconnect with the lost histories and ignite hidden ancestral wisdom."


    “Colonialism has separated our heads from our hearts. And we privilege, you know, thinking over feeling and we privilege rationality over emotion. And so to sink into those other things, to sink into the body, to sink into emotion, to sink into the image, the visual, I think it’s revolutionary.”

  • Have you ever been love bombed online? You meet this amazing guy, he showers you with compliments, tells you you're his soulmate... and then... asks for money.  This is a dating scam, and it happens to way too many women.

    I'm Sophia, your travel and transformation host, and I've almost been scammed myself! But here's the thing: good girls are especially susceptible to these scams.  We want to please, we trust easily, and we hate disappointing people.  These are all great qualities, but they can be used against us.

    So how do you avoid becoming a victim?  Listen to this episode where I'll explain the psychology of dating scams and how to protect yourself.  I'll also share tips on how to identify red flags and build healthy online relationships.

    Don't let "good girl syndrome" hold you back from finding real love!  Listen to this episode and take charge of your dating life.

    How good girl syndrome can make you more susceptible to dating scamsThe red flags to watch out for to avoid falling victimPractical strategies to protect yourself onlineHow to overcome the shame of being targeted and move forward

    If your gut is telling you something, listen, because it's probably right.


    "Some women with good girl syndrome may inherently just trust others and just believe in the good intentions of people. And that's not a bad thing, but it is something that can make you more susceptible to dating scams."


    "As women get older, they tend to be viewed as invisible. So they latch on to a person who is paying attention to them, who seems to see them. And that's when the manipulation can really take hold."


    "So one of my boundaries is I don't send money to anybody. That is a boundary for me. So if I haven't met you, even if I have met you, chances are you're not getting my money because I work hard for my money and I'm not just going to give it away to somebody who has loved bombed me, and now they think that they have formed some tight emotional bond with me."


    "Trust your instincts, because you usually know if you think about it, you usually know when something's not right and you choose to ignore that feeling because maybe you think it's ego or, you know, maybe. Maybe you're being gaslit."


    "People catfish, people lie. And if this has happened to you, don't be ashamed of yourself. Don't beat yourself up about it. Okay? In fact, report it."
