Hello, let’s be friends

Hello,

I’m so happy you’ve stopped by - let me introduce myself.

My name is Jo Sopha, I’m almost 30 years old (yikes) and was born in beautiful Sydney, Australia, where I currently reside. After graduating university, I entered the corporate world and now work a pretty normal corporate girly job with a nice side dish of occasional burnout and anxiety attacks… jokes but not really.

So, how do I combat the latter issues?! BALANCE BABY.

I know life is meant to be lived. Wherever and whenever I can indulge in life’s blessings - I do. For me, that means doing the things I truely enjoy in life and getting to know myself whilst doing it. I love to travel and discover new places, cultures and ways of living. I grew up in rural Sydney on acreage but my family frequently explored the east coast and city. Fashion has always been a part of who I am from an early age and really helped curate my identity from a young girl to a woman. Although I will never turn down a pub feed, I really enjoy dining out/ in with friends and family. My fondest memories in life involve being gathered around tables for meals with my dearest. Food is love, shared. My ultimate go to cuisines are Italian, Japanese and French. I’m a certified coffee and croissant snob (IYKYK).

In contrast to all the fun fluffy bits I do to love myself, I am also a realist in life’s peaks and troughs. We are dealt cards in life that may be unfavourable but I’m learning to dive into uncomfortable situations and be light in a world of uncertainty. I am becoming the person who I have always wanted to be. I want to inspire myself. I ground and reset myself often through reading, meditation, being alone and talking to close friends.

This is a personal blog of my life. Welcome and let’s be friends.

- Jo
