Description

This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Sophia Cheverez— a former professional ballerina who turned her pain into purpose. From starting ballet at age five to training at an elite level by eighteen, Sophia’s story is one of beauty, sacrifice, and transformation.

Now a stretch therapist at Jupiter Hills Country Club, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, and a private dance coach, Sophia is using her journey to help others— especially youth— develop confidence, body awareness, and resilience. Together, she and Wendy explore what it takes to rebuild after burnout, the power of family dynamics, and how to lead with both strength and softness.
