Welcome to Like Sophia

"Where there is love there is life." -Sophia Loren

There’s a certain kind of woman the world doesn’t quite know what to do with.

She’s been told she’s too much. Too emotional. Too passionate. She loves deeply and refuses to turn herself into something more convenient. She wants connection that feels cinematic, loyalty that feels unwavering, and a kind of love that most people insist only exists in movies.

Sophia Loren has always been that woman for me. Too beautiful, too bold, too wholly herself in the best possible way. She never softened her edges to make anyone else more comfortable, and she never once looked like she considered it.

Like Sophia was born from that energy. It’s for the women who don’t apologize for their spark and who refuse to dim their flame. It’s for women who feel everything fully, who lead with heart, who crave beauty, depth, and meaning in a world that often settles for mediocrity.

I’m romantic and passionate. I’ve been called “a bit much” more times than I can count and I’ve come to realize that “too much” is often just another way of saying “unapologetically alive.”

So instead of changing myself into something that better suits others, I put on my glittery crown, refuse to dim my light, and dare the world to meet me exactly as I am or step aside while I shine.

I write from the heart about the things that make me pause, that make my pulse quicken, that make me furious, that remind me I’m still here and still feeling everything. This publication is about love, passion, desire, and the quiet and sometimes loud rebellion of refusing to settle. It’s about redefining what’s “too much” and realizing that maybe it’s exactly enough.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit into a world that wants you a little more contained, a little more convenient, a little less you, you’re in the right place.

Me, on my birthday in Los Angeles, wearing my crown that my sister bought me.
