Simply Soph
Hosted by Sophia Rudy · EN
Hi girls 🫶🏼 I’m so happy you’re here. Welcome to Simply Soph.
This is a space for the girls figuring it out in real time. The ones Googling symptoms at 2am, questioning their birth control, overthinking text messages, and trying to balance wellness without spiraling. Here we talk about health, hormones, relationships, social media, and mental health. The vulnerable stuff. The “is this normal?” stuff.
Simply Soph is about making hard conversations feel less complicated. Stripping away the pressure to be perfect and saying the quiet thoughts out loud. Think coffee with a big sister who gives you validation, gentle hard truths, and real resources when you want to go deeper. I’ll sometimes bring in guests for extra perspective, and in our Simply Yours segment, your stories and questions take the mic.
No pretending. No perfection. Just real conversations while we figure it out together.

Transcribe →The Slow Life I Didn’t Know I Needed
4w ago00:44:54Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m talking about the slower, simpler lifestyle shifts that unexpectedly changed me in the best way. From moving out of a city and creating a home-centered life to gardening, bird feeders, slower mornings, less overstimulation, and learning how to actually be present. This is a conversation about grounding yourself in a world that constantly tells us to move faster. We’re chatting nervous system regulation, romanticizing simple things, finding joy offline, and why peace sometimes feels unfamiliar when you’re used to chaos. Just a cozy, honest conversation about the slow life I didn’t know I needed.This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles!
