A Sneak Peek from the conversation with Sophie Krupp:
Accommodate. Integrate. Accept.
These three pillars wholeheartedly describe this guest, the work she does and the topics we cover in this episode.
This conversation is a reminder to hold space for yourself and those around you, fostering empathy, understanding, and self-advocacy in a world that often asks us to be static when we’re anything but.
I am beyond thrilled and honored to introduce someone I think is remarkable: my friend, Sophie Krupp. Sophie is a trailblazer in the world of menstrual cycle education and health coaching, with a unique and powerful focus on ADHD and the ways it intertwines with the female cycle, as well as disability advocacy. Honestly, that’s just scratching the surface. Her work is a beacon for anyone who has ever felt lost in the maze of their health journey, offering insights that are not only eye-opening but also deeply affirming, which you will hear.
She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, but more importantly, she knows how to make that knowledge accessible and actionable. Her work isn’t just about educating—it’s about empowering people to advocate for themselves and navigate their health with clarity and confidence.
In my talk with Sophie, we dive deep into the dynamics and complexities of being human—acknowledging the many layers that make up our experiences, from navigating invisible disabilities, especially as they come on later in life, to honoring the ebbs and flows of the menstrual cycle and it’s impact on the brain, or simply embracing the unpredictability of everyday life. We cover a lot, from science-based evidence to personal experiences, and it truly gets better and deeper as the conversation goes on.
Being human means we are meant to fluctuate and change, embracing the idea that no two days will look or feel the same, and there is profound empowerment in recognizing and honoring that truth. Sophie brings this home time and again in the way she draws from professional and personal experience in our discussion.
