"If You Can’t See Yourself, Be the Thing" with Sophia Cook.

This series is all about sharing women that inspire me and also bring me joy.This week I'm joined by the brilliant Sophia Cook, creator, bringing midlife in colour. Mum at 40, movement, home, figuring it out as she goes. We talk honestly about confidence as something you work at, not something you either have or don’t. Sophia shares her story of loss, reinvention, motherhood, body image, creativity and why being seen — especially later in life — really matters.We talk about how our clothes can become our armour, colour as expression, changing bodies, perimenopause uncertainty, and the responsibility (and freedom) of showing up for ourselves and for our children. This is a conversation about visibility, legacy, and giving yourself permission to take up space — exactly as you are.Warm, funny and real.01:49 Confidence, grief & rewiring self-belief07:13 “If you can’t see yourself, be the thing you want to see”09:20 Motherhood, legacy & being seen13:02 Creativity, money & flexible careers15:59 Love, intuition & trusting your gut23:47 Body changes & perimenopause conversations27:22 Clothes as armour & self-expression31:12 Posting even when it feels uncomfortable34:05 Raising children without body shame37:05 Creativity, photography & reclaiming confidenceIf this conversation resonated with you:Subscribe to Liberté – Free to BeLeave a rating or reviewShare it with a woman who might need to hear it todayThe more women who find this podcast, the more confidence, courage, and permission we can spread.✨ See you next week for another inspiring conversation.Keep being fabulousRachel xconfidence • body image • being seen • motherhood • self-acceptance • creativity • perimenopause • fashion as expression • women’s stories
