Making Success Simpler (Because Life’s Complicated Enough)
My journey has spanned continents and careers, but one thing has stayed the same: I hate unnecessary complexity. Too many women struggle, not because they lack skills, but because they’re buried in outdated systems, bad advice, and overcomplicated nonsense. I’m here to change that.
I was born in Austria, raised in South Africa, and saw firsthand that gender shouldn’t determine opportunity. Yet, time and time again, I watched women play small, overthink, or doubt themselves. Not because they weren’t capable, but because no one handed them the right blueprint.
At 23, I ran my own jewelry business as a goldsmith. But beyond designing pieces, I mentored my young apprentices in both business and mindset, helping them see their potential. That’s where I realized: women don’t need more obstacles. They need clear, efficient systems that actually work.

From Money to Tech to AI: The Evolution of Smart Success
Fast forward: I landed in San Diego and completely reinvented myself; this time as a financial planner, divorce strategist, and money coach. I watched how money problems and life’s curveballs could turn calm into chaos, so I built practical, no-nonsense strategies to help women take control.
❝ Sofia is an exceptional Financial Planner and coach, because she understands that one’s psychological point of view fundamentally influences one’s financial decisions and quality of life as well.❞

Then came Oregon and Tennessee, where my love for tech, automation, and business strategy took over. I started helping women harness smart tools, cut the clutter, and turn ideas into thriving businesses without the headaches. Somewhere along the way, I earned the nickname The Tech Whisperer.

I’ve started over more than once. And each time, I’ve used what I know — money, tech, strategy — to make it simpler and smarter. Now I’m helping other women do the same: launch something new without the overwhelm, using tools that work with you, not against you.
❝ Sofia is the best technology consultant I’ve ever hired – I recommend her for any and all technological needs.
