Description
What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding were actually the key to your healing?

This week, I’m joined by photographer, artist, and women’s embodiment facilitator, Sophie Spencer, whose story is raw, powerful, and full of unexpected turns.
Sophie doesn’t just capture images, she captures the essence of who you are beneath the surface.
Through intuitive, emotionally attuned photographic experiences, she helps women feel safe, seen, and at home in their bodies. She also brings this same intention to her branding and web design work, supporting women-led businesses to show up with authenticity and confidence.
From feeling invisible in high school to guiding women in reclaiming their bodies, stories, and sensuality, Sophie’s path reminds us that healing isn’t about fixing but reconnecting with the truth of who you already are.
In this episode, we cover:
- Sophie’s healing journey through trauma, shame, and self-doubt
- The power of embodiment, safe spaces, and deep self-reclamation
- Sophie's experience in a cult-like spiritual community
- Why embodiment is the missing link to creativity, confidence, and joy
- How topless photo shoots became a powerful part of her clients’ liberation
- What it means to reclaim your voice, your story, and your sensuality
This is a wild, honest conversation. It’s raw, inspiring, a little bit juicy, and full of “I feel seen” moments.
Especially for anyone who’s ever struggled with body image, perfectionism, or feeling like you needed to be more to be worthy.
