Sophie Hunter is the founder of Sorella Creative and a social media strategist who’s worked in fast fashion and now thrives as a freelancer. She joins us to talk about the BRUTAL reality of catastrophizing your way through a marketing career, and somehow succeeding anyway.
Sophie’s story is a masterclass in authentic self-awareness. She shares why marketing yourself feels “icky” even when you’re literally a marketer, how she went from Brutal by Olivia Rodrigo energy in fast fashion to Hand in My Pocket balance in freelance, and why she keeps a folder called “REMEMBER” filled with screenshots of nice comments for when imposter syndrome hits hard.
She breaks down the unexpected challenges of going freelance (spoiler: it’s not the work, it’s the micromanaging clients who want pink heart emojis), why ChatGPT can write your content but shouldn’t, and why maybe your new year’s resolution should be “boundaries”, too.
Plus, learn why the Smiths will always transport her back to her Tumblr days.
