Phew, I’m hot today–I just got done hanging up four paintings in my new apartment. The past month has been wild, so although I moved mid-April, I still have decorating and unpacking to do.
I could go into detail about what all happened, but I’ll just highlight that last week I successfully filled all 8 spots in the Summer Writing Group!
Woooooo *mermaid flips*
I’m looking forward to a summer of writing…
Why? I’ll tell you.
Today I’m going to wax poetic about 3 reasons why I LOVE writing
1. Writing rewards you for being different.
Growing up I learned that being different was ‘bad’ because it singled me out to be criticized.
But with time, I realized having a different voice as a writer can be a very good thing. I love reading about people’s personal lives or their individual quirks.
Capturing that special voice when I write with my clients is something I work hard to do. When I teach people to write, I also respect that people have differences in HOW their writing process may work.
For example: some people want to write everything in a weekend, and some people want to work slowly over time (a SLOW BURN I call it).
2. Writing can make a big difference in the world.
I have been astounded in my lifetime how powerful writing can be.
I’ve been told my stories have had the power to inspire and comfort others. I’ve shared knowledge and perspectives that helped people. I’ve written things on my website which have led to a client getting results and living a better life.
Heck! In the last year I’ve even been using writing to fundraise $1000 for a nonprofit in Africa–and I don’t really know much about fundraising!
I just know that writing is powerful.
3. When I help other people to write, we all make an even bigger difference.
Your story has the power to change someone else’s life.
Your experiences and knowledge can get someone out of a jam.
Your website can give you clients that you will help get life-changing results.
You matter and so do the things you write even if you end up using them in audio or video form! It’s all good stuff.
So thanks for being here as someone I can write to.
Thanks for reading these blogposts. Thanks for signing up for my email newsletter. Thanks for sharing my posts and replying to them on facebook or instagram. Thanks for hanging out in my facebook group.
Thanks for contacting me directly to ask about the Summer Writing Group or working together 1:1 to write for your book or business.
All of is it great and valuable. I’m glad to have you here in my community, and you inspire me to keep going forward on with my writing.
LASTLY,
I know what it’s like to be unique and kind of different. I know we’re all different and we might have a little bit of a different process to write. It doesn’t all have to look the same of happen the same way for everyone.
And I know you really want to make a difference–and I am sure you will, in your own individual way.
You’re here on this planet to do something and I want to see what it is.
So contact me or leave a comment and let me know if there is something you are passionate about today!

P.S. The Summer Writing Group is full but keep an eye out because I may be announcing something else soon..click here to join the waitlist for the next Writing Group
The Early Bird Bonus for the Summer Writing Group is ending tomorrow Wednesday @ midnight EST
I’m excited for everyone who has gotten these bonuses already and I would love to add 2 more people to the group.
I’m giving away a free 60-min 1:1 Tapping into Your Genius Call when you sign up for the program before tomorrow at midnight.
Use this session to make progress on writing for your book, business, webpage, product descriptions, emails, or blogposts.
Here are a few things people have said about working with me one on one:
“I came to Sofia because I lacked the confidence to bring my ideas to fruition. I basically felt stuck and lacking self worth.
She helped me to get a schedule down and basically knock down every obstacle that I built for myself. She helped me to simplify. She gave me confidence and direction
After working with Sofia, I have began my rough draft and am moving in a positive direction. When I feel a block, I hear Sofia say ‘perfection is not the beginning goal, just get something down on paper and you can work from there.’ I know that I can do it and I am doing it.
If you are hesitant about hiring Sofia, hire her anyway. She has such a spiritual connection that she knows what you need. Her intuition is always spot on and she thrives on helping others. She is honest and very good at what she does.”
Heather McConnell, intuitive, Las Vegas, NV
“Sofia, in her gentle and wise way, helped me to find clarity of purpose while reminding me to keep rooted in that purpose as I take intentional steps forward rather than being overwhelmed with how to put it all together perfectly.
Once I released the worrying part, the path became more clear and the steps were more solid, like stepping stones.
One baby step in particular has formed into amazing opportunity that is giving clear form to the path ahead. Thank you, Sofia!”
Kathryn, Musician
“Before I worked with Sofia I was trying to create a “program” but I wasn’t totally clear on what it would look like. I was trying to force it into boxes –
What I was working with before the session was so much more rigid and limited than I really wanted it to be, and I didn’t have a good sense of its spirit because my view of it was clouded by preconceptions of what it should be.
I had peace of mind at the end of the session that I just didn’t have before the session. I also keep reminding myself of things Sofia said, that have helped me let go of anxiety, open up to the possibilities around me more, and take more risks because I feel more safe. I’ve allowed myself to share my business ideas with potential clients, which I might not have had the courage to do the week before. I can normally hear my intuition pretty well, but working with you helped me find the courage to act on my intuition.”
Allison S, Entrepreneur.

The past few weeks have been a little heavy for me. I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to see anyone get hurt, even if it is someone that I don’t know.
You might be sensitive, and get your heart dinged when the news has a lot of hard things in it, too.
But there is always an opportunity even in these difficult times.
No matter what, you can use your individual power to create a better world
It can look like:
writing your book, offering things in your business, or even choosing to slow down and enjoy a good cup of tea.
Today, I’m reaching out to connect person to person. I want you to know you’re not alone and I’m with you in the trenches.
And part of being with you, means occasionally I like to send out “little light notes” and freebies…just simple things that me feel like that even on the darkest days, there’s light in the world.
Because I really like helping people; I feel like it gives me purpose to keep going and shining.
And I want to help you do the same. I know these good vibes will spread on and on.
So for today, I’ve decided to unlock one of my private videos from my video vault.
release stress around getting something done for your book, business and goals.
This tapping video always helps me to step back into a better space, which helps clear my mind. That’s why I made it the first lesson in a course I taught on how to make faster progress creating for books and business called Psychic Mermaid Creatrix.
This video will help you release stress, breathe and feel good as you work to write or hit those important goals. It will put you in a better space to start your week.
Ready to get your head on straight for any decisions you need to make?
P.P.S. If you’d like support to write for business and books this summer, but your budget could use a break…would a discount help? If you’d be interested in a discount to access my entire video vault, or to join the live summer writing group for 2022, contact me by Wednesday July 8
It is a hub where you can access all of the lessons from the “7 Layer Writing Vision Activation” series.
You can keep track of what you have read through already, or revisit things that you have read before.
If you prefer having that daily reminder to read and ponder how you write, but aren’t getting the emails anymore–in the top right corner above you can sign up to get all the emails in order all over again.
If this hub looks familiar, then you probably have access to my Video Vault!
It has a similar design. The video vault is different, though, because it has over 40 videos and worksheets not available anywhere else that will help you know what to do next for your writing or business because you are tapped into your inner genius.
I don’t know about you but I love starting my work day with some inspirational content that will help my mind focused on my next steps in a way that is going to be authentic to me and free me from unnecessary rules about what I can do.
If that sounds like something you’d like in your life, the good news is that you can access the video vault instantly when you sign up for the Summer Writing Group.
By the way, as of right now–We have only 2 spots left in the Summer Writing Group!
This is where we will take everything in this free course deeper and put it to use for you in an individual way, for your book or business.
My Summer writing group now has 6 mermaids officially in with a few more people planning thinking about it–
it is already my most successful paid live writing group I have done in terms of number of participants. So this is a big celebration for me!
I’m going to be working on my own writing projects and books this summer alongside of everybody, so I want a VIBRANT community of 8 lovely people so it’s the perfect mix of energy and intimacy this summer.
I want everyone to get attention, though, so I may cap the class when we reach two more people.
A few people are already thinking about those spots…so if you are interested definitely let me know.
CONTACT ME if you are thinking about the Summer Writing Group or want to know more so you can reserve your spot!

60 Minute Tap into Your Genius call with me! Tap into your genius to know what to do next for your book, your sales page, your website, or your marketing content.
If you have been wanting to write for your business or book, this could be perfect for you to make progress in a way that honors your SOUL.
This is only for the fun-loving mermaid at heart who wants to enjoy this summer–because you says you can’t get writing done for your book or business in an enjoyable way.
And I turned on the TV during the lunch and my episode of Doctor Who featured Shakepeare and aliens that got drawn in by his genius…
So I think this was meant to be and wanted to get this out to you right away.
This video is for you if you want to make a difference and change the world. You might use this information to make progress for your business, your mission or your book.
Not only am I going to give you the replay (it is right here), but BELOW I’ll share some of my notes from the video as well, just in case you don’t have 15 minutes or so to watch the video.
Have a good day today!!
My notes from the video:
Entrepreneurs, writers, coaches and content creators who want to help people:
You are an old soul and you know things. You have always had genius inside of you. People have not always listened to you and may have shamed or invalidated you.
You don’t have time for that shit anymore. You are here to talk to the people who get it.
You know people are out there who need what you have to say, or the work you are here to do. You know it whether you have the evidence or not, you feel the burn of “I’m here to do something.”
It’s not about being a martyr or self-sacrifice, it’s literally about expansion into your freaking awesomeness.
It’s not a duty or a debt or a responsibility to save the world, it is knowing you have gifts even if you might doubt it some days or some times–you know it.
And you want to show up at the party with your gifts and have a good time, that’s it. That is what tapping into your genius looks like.
It’s exciting, it’s awesome, it’s fun and it is available for you in a deeper way. So that’s why you are here to tap into your creative genius, you have something to serve people with and it is win-win and it is scintillating.
So how do you tap into it? To tap into the words, the message, the ability to access that state of mind, the crystal clear vision to step by step do what you need to do to be your purpose in a deeper way.
Glad you asked.
Let’s talk about what this is really foundationally about:
This is about decisions. This is about choices.
It’s not about being born to do it. Not alone, because you can choose not to use a gift.
It’s not about hard work, because you can dig a hole in the wrong spot and never hit the buried treasure you want to dig up. Better to dig a shallow hole just right in the right spot. Hard work does not equal genius although it can help.
It is not about copying an expert, they are not the same as you. You need to find YOUR genius access points which are individual.
If you gave yourself the respect you would give to a genius, you would allow yourself the tools you need, the time you need, the space you need, and whatever self-talk you need to perform at your best.
This isn’t about having a ton of money to spend, it is about respecting your genius first and foremost.
If you have that respect, you would treat yourself with the kind of attention and positive support that someone would to an Olympic swimmer. Like paying attention to your sleep schedule, your food, and the little details of your day.
You’d talk to yourself like a genius who needs to be told to keep going because they don’t even realize what a genius they are or how close they are to changing the world.
Where do you drop the ball on that stuff? That is okay. But is it for something that is really a priority or a necessity?
Where is the BS keeping you from giving your genius the respect it needs?
Are you making decisions to stay in your genius zone? Where do you have some uncertainties about how to get into your zone?
Hope this has given you some ideas on how to tap into your genius and make progress on your projects, book or business.
Are you looking to make progress on your writing because you’d love to grow your audience or make a deeper impact with the people you are here to serve?
Do it in a way that taps into your GENIUS and have fun and stay authentic to who you are.
It will help you share your work or message with the people you are here to serve.
Whether you aim to educate, inspire or educate your audience, you are here to do good. But first you need to write for your book, website, blog, email, content, or course.
You have something that you want to share with the world. You don’t have to do it alone.
You may think you need to be further along before you can get support for your project… But you don’t!
Get coaching to tap into your genius so you can write and a judgement-free & intuition-supporting community with the Summer Writing Group
Dive deep into how to make the right choice for you and your goals.
Make progress on writing for your book, your sales page, your website, your marketing content and so on!
Just a quick note that on 12:30 PM EST Wednesday June 1st, I am doing a free LIVE video broadcast:
“What is Creative Genius, and how do we access it and cultivate it?”
This is especially for those of you who want to make a difference and change the world. You might use this to make progress for your business, your mission or your book.
Send me an email if there is anything you have a question about on the topic or something you hope I will address!!
There will be a replay if you can’t come, and if you are not on facebook, I’ll also be putting it on Youtube as well as here on the blog
Have a good day today!!

60 Minute Tap into Your Genius call with me! Dive deep into how to make the right choice for your book, your sales page, your website, or your marketing content.
If you have been wanting to write for your business or book, this could be perfect for you to make progress in a way that honors your personal priorities.
There’s a hard pill to swallow, that no one really wants to believe:
Which is that you are totally UNIQUE.
Which means that no one else has been you before.
Soooooo… what? What does that mean?
It means other people cannot tell you exactly what you need to do.
They can’t tell you what to do if they don’t know you.
And even then they could get it wrong.
Even me.
Unfortunate, I know.
If only life were so easy.
If only there was a magic bullet to magically solve all your problems.
Then we could all be little productivity robots just going through the motions like someone told us to.
Don’t know what to write? Just copy and paste this…
Don’t know what to do in your business? Just do exactly like I do…
Don’t know how to be happier? Try my system, it’s the best.
I’m sorry but other people can only offer you pieces of the puzzle.
It’s the last installment of this lovely series, and I guess the secret is finally out:
I don’t have a “MAP” for you to follow!
Not a rinse-and-repeat system…
I was never trying to show you the entire map of what to do.
I showed you some layers, some of those puzzle pieces, and I do hope that they helped.
BUT since I’ve been at the side of countless entrepreneurs, sensitive peeps, writers and other people I admire,
I have noticed that no two people have been exactly the same.
I attract weirdos.
(I love you, I hope you see this as a term of endearment tee hee )
So you don’t fit in a box! I get it.
As a result, I could give you advice which is the total opposite of what I would tell someone else.
So secretly, what I have really been hoping to do all along in this series,
is maybe not what you might have imagined.
I didn’t aim just to share information and experience and how-tos.
All of that will only get so far if you don’t have the real missing piece.
OTHER PEOPLE’S SYSTEMS WILL NOT NECESSARILY WORK.
NOT IF YOU LOSE TOUCH WITH YOUR OWN GENIUS.
For instance, I spent tens of thousands of dollars looking for the magic pill and it did not help me have a profitable business.
I spent a chunk of cash on writing coaching at one point and ended the mentorship completely stuck and unable to write for months.
But when I really started to listen to myself I got out of the rut.
I could pick and choose what pieces of learning suited my unique design as a person.
And I rolled it all together and things started to work.
So because bringing myself back to that place of knowing helped me so much, I want to do the same for you.
What I am here to do first and foremost is to help you find the GLUE that puts all the pieces you have learned together.
It doesn’t matter where you got those pieces:
other teachers, books, courses….
You still need the glue to fill in the gaps.
The glue that ties everything together is YOU.
Your genius…
Your knowing…
Your inner mermaid…
The creative power.
That intangible quality that is expressed when you are in touch with something mysterious inside of you.
Once you flip the switch ON to activate this part of you, suddenly things that were difficult become easy.
Suddenly the ideas that were confused become instantly clear.
You become motivated to do things you didn’t feel like doing for years.
This is the kind of shift I see in my clients all the time when we work together, and it is why I love what I do.
Because witnessing other people flip the switch inspires me to flip mine, too!
Flipping that switch is what I call tapping into your inner genius, or your inner mermaid.
The mechanism for flipping the switch is already there.
The wiring is within you and there is nothing wrong with it or you.
But things may work a little differently than you were taught they ‘should’.
The B.S. is keeping you from uncovering a next move.
It’s not all about being told what to do.
Other people can tell you that, all day every day.
Telling people what to do is easy.
But just because everyone else is telling you what to do does not mean it’s going to work for you.
First you need to access a level of energy and a way of thinking to discern what part of what you are hearing is worth your time.
Because from that place of connection and inspiration you make better decisions.
You know what teachings from someone else are not going to fit you.
You’ll recognize when you need to change your mind–when you thought something wasn’t right for you but really you were just being stubborn.
You’ll say yes to things and no to things.
And all of that will be totally perfect for you.
And yes, someone will probably judge your choices, but you will not care as much anymore, or even if you care, you will do what is right for you anyway.
Because when you are tapped into this place you have more certainty.
You know what you have to do.
And that means you make steps with more confidence for more progress in everything you do.
I love this place! And I love being here to witness it and encourage it in others.
This summer I’m looking forward to doing this exact thing.
Each live session will have exercises to help you tap into your inner mermaid for clarity on your writing.
There will be time for discussion and sharing.
It is a safe space to explore where you are at and what you are thinking about for your writing.
And everything will be recorded in your private vault so you can keep going deeper and deeper.
I’ll be there to answer questions and share the how-to information you may need,
but my biggest priority is to help you clear the B.S. and tap into your inner mermaid so you know the right next steps for you.
How to write things in your way: funny, or serious, or inspiring, or whatever works for you.
Because it is through that connection to yourself and your brilliance that you will get the most benefits and make the most progress in a way that brings you JOY.
It’s the missing piece you may have been missing from other courses or mentors you have had!
Follow the urge and the inspiration.
Unpeel the layers and do the practices to hear your inner mermaid’s voice of genius.
Take the next step on a track that no one else is walking.
And see the writing for your book or business pour out in a more organic way.
We start on June 9th at and we have room for 4 more mermaids!

If you have been wanting to write for your business or book, this could be perfect for you to make progress in a way that honors your personal priorities.
So for weeks there have been clips of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
Depp is suing Amber for defamation.
Here’s what I have been pondering as the trial happens:
It is SO easy for some people to be 100% certain that they are an expert or maintain they are right, or believe that they are allowed to do whatever they want to do–while I see other people (who wouldn’t hurt a fly) doubt themselves so, so much.
The people least capable of hurting anyone are holding themselves back.
There’s doubt, there is going back and forth, there is fear of not being good enough, not being woke enough, not knowing enough or having enough certifications to talk about something or charge…
While other people can be caught in a bold face lie and respond by doubling, or tripling down!
If only the forces of good could have a fraction of that confidence.
Regardless about how you feel about Amber Heard, to me the lesson is, we sensitive wouldn’t-hurt-a-fly peeps need to be more CERTAIN about our right to use our voice and do what we want to do.
If you want to write a book, do it.
If you want to put up a site to sell your services, do it.
Sometimes you just have to believe that what you want to say is worth it.
I’m on a mission to help entrepreneurs and sensitive people get writing done for their book or business so that they can get the word out about what they can do and serve more people on the planet.
I want to see what happens to the world when sensitive people can be the loudest ones in the room.
Writing, posting, sharing, selling is all a form of DARING.
When I started writing I didn’t think about it very much because I was young. I started my first blog 10 or 11, so early I can’t remember.
We all do brave things without thinking when we are young because it is too early to know what there is to fear, but things change with age and experience.
With time I realized I had to stay anonymous, that it was safer to hide my identity.
Only my trusted friends were allowed to read my thoughts and know it came from me.
And even then I learned to filter it. At one point I had a second secret blog to go even deeper into my inner world.
I thought I needed pen names to feel totally honest…
But after 10 years of hiding, I realized there was more to life than being safe.
Being perfect and correct did not satisfy me.
Living in the dark wasn’t enough. I wasn’t expressed. I wasn’t the person I wanted to become, I wasn’t able to connect with people all the way.
Expression mattered more than ‘safety’ because it began to feel like a form of death.
I didn’t want to risk having a life of regret.
I didn’t want to die with words left in me, a book in me, dreams in me.
I wanted to live FULL OUT.
And it wasn’t just about me.
I slowly realized that writing has enormous power to connect people together—
if I allowed myself that chance to truly be seen, my reader would feel validated in a way, too.
I realized that when I aimed to be perfect, I was striving to be something not human.
It’s like wanting to be a machine.
If I want to look perfect to others, I am contributing to a pattern that only enslaves other people in this same impossible expectation.
But when I show my real humanity, I break the chain.
I free someone else.
With time, I let the layers of secrecy go.
I started writing about my twenties and how I found myself through bad dates and bad decisions.
That extremely honest writing adventure became my book Freedom Year.
I needed to write it, I needed to forgive things I had judged, and then I could finally grow into the next level of myself.
When I published my book at 33, I told my friends a bus could hit me and I’d die happy.
I’d done what I was here on this planet to do.
But I wasn’t truly finished.
Because since then my passion has been rekindled for helping other people to go through the same journey that I went through.
To pull you into the journey that I’m on now.
TO WRITE AND BE FREE
There are always more things to write, new stories to share, new people to connect with, deeper levels of connection to access.
And I’m here for it.
Do you want to do it with me?
To do that, there’s one more layer you have to go through.
You have to let go of needing to be perfect.
Because perfect supposes there is a way to judge perfect.
Perfect supposes that there is judge, an authority, with the power to declare that.
And there is only one way.
But really it is all subjective.
Your perfect and my perfect are different.
Because my perfect is showing up with an open heart and seeing where life takes me.
It’s coming to the page with an intention to help others, and knowing I can help myself at the same time.
It’s baring my soul and admitting my mistakes and human frailties and loving it because I know I am not alone.
It’s taking the steps courageously one by one
and getting the feedback about what resonates
which over and over again continues to validate that I am on the right path.
But confirmation only came after I took a risk and dared to be seen as imperfect.
Now when it comes that confirmation is a bonus, because sharing honestly has become my way of life.
I keep my sparks of passion burning regardless of how it will land with other people,
although I don’t block them out entirely, either.
I feed my flame with faith and courage, and on a certain level I pray and hope other people will like me and what I write.
But even not knowing the answer, there is no mistake that this is what I am supposed to be doing.
I show up imperfectly and I don’t necessarily like the exposure but it is freeing, empowering, and meaningful.
This is what I was born for, what I have created, what I am meant to do.
To show up
To be imperfect
To embrace what humanity truly is
To make a world where we can shine as equals, as imperfect
PERFECTLY the way we are.
Imagine me blowing fairy dust on you.
Now you are it.
It’s your turn.
Do you see the beauty of doing things your way even if it is not ‘perfect’?

If you have been wanting to write for your business or book, this could be perfect for you to make progress in a way that honors your personal priorities.
Being an entrepreneur I have spent some serious coin on
Business groups and certifications that didn’t pay for themselves,
Professional advice that did not fit me as an individual
Courses or templates I never used
It can be hard to talk about, but I’m excited to share with you what I have learned.
Now first off, let me say that I know that this is something very common. It doesn’t have to be this way for everyone…but a LOT of people I know have spent a heckoff a lot of money on their business.
It would certainly describe me!!!
Got to spend money to make money right?
In one sense yes, but I think if I had gone back with what I know now, I might have made a different set of decisions.
Everything I invested in had it’s benefits but were all of them 100% worth the money I ended up spending? …with interest?!
Not always.
Sometimes a financial investment is just what you need to get to the next level and then you will make more money to pay it back,
but in my case I can clearly see that some investments I made that were a lot better for my business than others.
I think about some of those investments beyond a few thousand dollars where I was in an impersonal group program and I’m like “what now?”
Now some of those experiences gave me precious memories and shifts I’ll have for a life time…while others I probably will not ever think about again.
Crazy huh?
I’m going to be totally honest and say I’ve spent way too much money on my business over the years!
And some of it I can’t help but feel regret about.
I have made a few mistakes.
And since I made those decisions to invest that money, really I am the only person I can blame.
D’oh.
Self blame is soooooo useful, right?
Yeah no. It is one thing to learn from the past but self blame is no bueno.
When I am in a self blame space:
My confidence decreases,
I feel unworthy of good things happening,
I don’t feel motivated to improve my situation.
All of that in the past even led me to spend gobs more money to get out of a hole, which is not a sustainable practice.
The real answer?
Now I know: slow down, go inside and do some inner work—
then I will create a shift in how I feel and think so I can tap into my inner genius to make the decisions that will put my business and life back on track.
Doing work on my relationship with money is one of the things that has been KEY to getting my business off of the ground.
One of my good investments was learning different ways to do this! And now I want to teach it to you..for free!
Because forgiving yourself can be the hardest thing in the world!
It will help you move forward so you can do what you are here on the planet to do.
