The Show’s Concept:

Sophia’s show targets women whose self-esteem has been shattered by life’s hard knocks, who have experienced isolation from society, and are ready to take charge of their lives.  Please vote to help Sophia give women these the uplifting support they need to find their inner voice, tell their stories, and get a chance to follow their dreams.  The show’s concept is based on “Living a Fearless Life”, a 12-workshop program Sophia developed to increase self-esteem in women. It has encouraged women in Philadelphia prisons, women in recovery programs, and women who were formerly homeless.  Tune in for details!

Why Strive for Healthy Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem has everything to do with how we feel about ourselves personally and professionally.  Feeling good about yourself and confident about what your strengths and weaknesses are can make the difference between success and failure in whatever you choose to do.  Although race, social class, sexual preference, education, roots, religion, and even physical appearance can play a role in one’s self-esteem, it is impossible to stereotype who has poor or healthy self-esteem.  Someone with limited funds and little education can have a high level of self-esteem, deriving personal satisfaction from raising a family or doing their best at their job, while a highly educated person with no financial worries can feel miserable.  Self-esteem begins to erode in early childhood when we begin to believe what other people have to say about us. By becoming aware of how you have allowed others to beat down your spirit, you can start replacing the beliefs that don’t work for you with new ones that will make YOU happy.
