This is it. The final episode of Your Favorite Self.

Not the end of podcasting. Not the end of Sophia. But the end of an era.

Sophia shares why she’s closing this chapter and what’s calling her forward. What began in 2022 as a general life coaching podcast rooted in the “Favorite Self” framework evolved alongside her book, Unleash Your Favorite Self, and years of helping women let go of the “shoulds” and step into who they’re meant to be.

But growth changes you.

Over the past few months, something has been shifting. The pull toward business. Toward entrepreneurship. Toward helping women build wealth. Sophia shares her conviction that one of the most powerful ways to change the world is to put more money into women’s hands. Research supports it. Stories prove it. And she believes building businesses is one of the most accessible, transformative paths available.

This episode explores:

• Why the “Favorite Self” language is moving from front-facing brand to behind-the-scenes framework
• Her belief in regulated capitalism as a tool for impact and mobility
• A powerful story about generational wealth and education
• The real reason behind the rebrand: women in business need to be able to find her
• The courage it takes to close a chapter before the next one is ready

Sophia reflects on seasons of life, death and rebirth cycles, and a formative interview she did at 18 with a woman in her 90s who said she had lived “about seven lives.” That perspective becomes the heartbeat of this farewell.

Nothing about her core mission is disappearing. She’s still committed to helping women live their favorite lives. But now, she’s stepping more fully into leading women entrepreneurs, claiming her calling, and building something new.

There won’t be a new podcast launching next week. This is a true pause. A return to the cave. A space to rebuild with intention.

If this podcast has ever impacted you, she invites you to share that story. And if you want to be the first to hear about what’s next, make sure you’re on her email list or following along on Instagram.

Because this isn’t an ending.

It’s a rebirth.
