FLAME with Brad Hook
Turning Pain into Purpose with the Author of Unbreakable
Carolyn Sophia survived bullying, depression and crushing self-doubt — then wrote Unbreakable to give others what she couldn't find: a safe place to feel seen, heard and supported.
Carolyn's story is one many listeners will recognise from the inside: the slow erosion of self-worth that bullying causes, the depression that follows, and the long work of rebuilding. What makes her voice valuable is the honesty about the middle part — the unglamorous stretch between rock bottom and resilience.
We talk about what actually helped, the role of self-love beyond the cliché, and how she now creates spaces where others feel safe enough to start their own repair. A gentle, hopeful conversation about becoming unbreakable — which, it turns out, means being okay with having been broken.
