Hi there, I’m Sofia Roper, your guide to smart living in the digital age.
A Journey of Empowerment: Helping Women Thrive in Business and Life
My life’s journey has been anything but linear, spanning continents and careers, but one thread has remained constant: a passion for empowering women. This calling emerged early, perhaps influenced by my Austrian upbringing where gender equality was simply a fact of life. Witnessing women underestimate their potential has always fueled my desire to help them rewrite their narratives.
At 23, I was a goldsmith in South Africa, not only designing jewelry but also mentoring young women in both the craft and the entrepreneurial spirit it demanded. This experience solidified my belief in the power of combining practical skills with a tenacious mindset.
❝ Sofia was a fantastic teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from her, working with her and having her as my boss.❞ – Catherine Zehrt
My path then led me to San Diego, where I reinvented myself as a financial advisor, certified divorce planner, mediator, and women’s coach. Working with women in transition, I was struck by the cultural differences in gender perceptions and dedicated myself to teaching financial literacy and emotional resilience.
❝ Sofia is an exceptional Financial Planner. I chose her to be both my financial advisor and coach, because she understands that one’s psychological point of view fundamentally influences one’s financial decisions and to a greater extent one’s quality of life as well.❞ – Selwyna Tetancgo
Later, in Oregon and Tennessee, I leveraged my love and skills in technology to build innovative solutions for women entrepreneurs, earning the moniker “The Tech Whisperer” as I helped women align their beliefs with actionable strategies to build thriving businesses and fulfilling lives.
❝ Sofia is the best technology consultant I’ve ever hired – I recommend her for any and all technological needs. She is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, kind, patient and simply a joy to work with! Not only is she an expert in the field of technology consulting, she is also a superb and professional business woman with phenomenal consulting acumen. I deeply appreciated how focused she was while remaining warm and supportive – she is quite literally my go-to tech guru!❞ – Katrina Lempenski
Today, I continue this mission through Thryvva, a platform designed to help women achieve financial independence and personal growth. Thryvva distills my diverse experiences into accessible insights and actionable strategies across three core pillars: personal finance mastery, entrepreneurial success, and mindset transformation.
Central to my work is an unwavering belief in personal development and mindset transformation. I’ve learned that our beliefs are the architects of our reality—they shape our decisions, define our limitations, and ultimately determine our potential. At Thryvva, we don’t just teach skills; we help women reconstruct their internal narratives, challenging self-limiting beliefs and cultivating a growth mindset that turns obstacles into opportunities.
My personal journey has taught me profound lessons about self-discovery, the power of our beliefs, and the importance of simplifying the complex. These lessons inform everything we do at Thryvva.
