On your knees praying to anyone that will listen; please keep my daughter earth side.

This is a pain so real it hits you at the very core.

Sophie is a single Mother with two daughters; India, 16 and Violet, 14.

In 2017, after months of panic attacks and school refusal, India was diagnosed with depression and anxiety.

In 2018, this diagnosis escalated to severe social anxiety and clinical depression.

She moved schools for her as she wanted a fresh start, and that seemed to help for six months, then India's anxiety became heightened due to her social surroundings and she went downhill fast.

In 2019 the self-harming began, then in the march the suicide attempts started. 

Fast forward to 2022 and Sophie has started the Please Stay Foundation.

She is a woman of Influence…

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade. We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us. I love to learn and my favorite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do? This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
