Join Nic as she chats with Coach, Writer, Speaker & Author Sophie Leone about her journey from a career in the police to dismantling that identity and living with her full feminine grace.

Sophie talks about being guided by something within that she couldn't deny, which led her to shift from a linear path to a more cyclical, uncertain path where her sense of certainty could only be found in the deep wisdom rising within.

We chat about dismantling identities to uncover the core of who we are and Sophie shares how her softer, wiser voice was found through writing when she returned to a childhood joy. 

She talks about exploring the unknown within herself and surrendering deeply to her body, which enabled her to hear herself fully, and Sophie chats about the power of choice and the willingness to meet change.

Today I’m speaking with writer, poet and performer Sophie Leone, about her journey from being a police officer for 15 years to the seismic shift in her work and what she does today.

We speak about the intense initiation she went through directly after the birth of her second child which led to her haemorrhaging and ‘bleeding out’; and the transcendent experiences that she had whilst recovering. This led to a complete shift in how she lived and ultimately to the ‘birth’ her first book, ‘the book of revelations’. During the episode Sophie reads to us from the this book, poems and monologues that follow the themes we are discussing; starting with ‘eulogy to my warrant card’, followed by 'freefall' and finally a poem called ‘for you.’ 

Sophie speaks about her journey of learning to honour and make time for rest and how this is now an integral part of her daily routine. Her mantra for every day is ‘write, speak, rest.’
