What if redefining success starts with showing up for yourself first?In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with the incredible Sophie Bryan – workplace culture specialist, TEDx speaker, burlesque performer, sex conversationalist, and unfiltered truth-teller – to unpack a life shaped by trauma, resilience, and radical self-discovery.From surviving childhood illness and navigating a complex family dynamic to breaking cycles of poverty, Sophie shares how her drive for financial independence led her to question not just what success looks like, but how it feels. We explore why Montessori education shaped her approach to parenting and leadership, and how freedom, curiosity and play have become her personal pillars for living and working.Sophie opens up about her journey with body dysmorphia, how she transformed shame into self-expression through burlesque, and how her work in sex and soul coaching is helping individuals and couples reconnect with intimacy, desire, and communication.We also dive into:Why workplace culture must change before the education system canThe crucial link between sexuality, leadership and creative flowHow to challenge taboos and empower our kids (and ourselves) to talk about sex differentlyThe power of forgiveness, legacy, and owning your storySophie wears a lot of hats (possibly more than me) – but every one is rooted in authenticity, truth, and a mission to create a world where people feel safe to live in alignment with who they really are.This episode is honest, inspiring, and full of brave conversations we all need to be having.Key Chapters:00:00 - Introduction05:20 - A Childhood Shaped by Trauma11:00 - Rewriting the Script: From Survivor to Achiever14:30 - PTSD, Alcoholism & Compassion for Her Father19:30 - Healing Through Storytelling and Eulogy24:00 - Values That Guide Sophie's Life29:30 - Discovering Montessori & Parenting Differently35:20 - Raising an Independent Daughter40:30 - Why Workplaces Are Failing Us46:30 - Creating Freedom in the Workplace53:00 - Aligning Work Culture with Human Needs01:01:00 - Exposing Broken Systems & Flipping Leadership01:10:00 - From Body Dysmorphia to Burlesque01:24:00 - Sex, Shame & Communication in Relationships01:48:00 - Final Reflections on Self-Love and Legacy 🎥 WATCH NOW on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cNRMczhuGm8🎧 LISTEN on Spotify/Apple Podcasts: https://linktr.ee/differenthatsHit play.
