E39 - Sophia Esperanza: Discovering Authenticity In a Fake World

Sophia Esperanza shares her healing journey of going from superficial glamour to authentic beauty. After years of modeling, Sophia began the process of re-discovering her true self. She underwent explant surgery, shaved her head, deleted her old instagram photos, and shifted her message to one of empowerment. Today, she explains what this process has looked like and how you too can go on this journey of self love.

Her and André discuss kindness to self, embracing the imperfect, becoming sensitive to life, transcending self righteousness, and so much more.
