Sophia Spallino is a personal development life coach, influencer and harpist with a collective online audience of over 300,000 people from around the world. Utilizing the musical component of her outreach to help women everywhere feel worthy of their desires and practice forgiveness has been very fulfilling, but what's most beautiful is how she got to this point.

Sophia has played the harp for over 25 years. Her parents say “harp” was one of her first and favorite words and would be disappointed without a “harp-shaped” present under the tree every year for Christmas … until she was 5. Growing up in a Southern, religious household, Sophia was encouraged to play for the Lord and spent many hours of her homeschool days practicing. She was accepted into LSU’s School of Music at the age of 16 when she walked into a surprise audition, and went to LSU on a full harp performance scholarship. Although she didn’t graduate in music and chose to study merchandising and business, Sophia’s love for music and performance hasn’t changed. As a coach, she creates custom meditations for her clients. Last summer, she wrote and recorded her forgiveness anthem, “My Healing,” on Elysian Fields Drive, with intention to share it with her clients, and released it without thinking it would “go viral,” but now her song has over two million downloads, and thousands of people from around the world are using her song in Instagram Reels to share their unique healing journeys.

“I never expected a song — a song I wrote for me to personally forgive and for my clients to use as a tool — to reach millions of women around the world ... maybe thousands with my audience, but certainly not millions. I cry every day when I am tagged in videos where women vulnerably share their stories, forgiving abusers they never thought they could forgive in a million lifetimes. Just wow. Seeing women choose themselves and choose their healing … this is my purpose.” Sophia plans to release more music and meditations in the coming year. “We heal by fully touching a wound, allowing ourselves to feel it all, and surrendering to pain. Listen to any sad song, and if you need a good cry, you’re going to cry, right? That’s because music is a tool that allows us to drop resistance to feeling. When we avoid feeling, we resist healing.  Now put on one of my songs about letting go, close your eyes, and set an intention to let go of something that’s weighing on your heart. My deepest desire is for women to step out of victim mentality and into their personal power, taking responsibility for their healing. The cold, hard truth is: You get to heal when YOU DECIDE TO. You get to feel better when YOU DECIDE TO. Are you willing to take the first step?”
