Sophie Hughes is a remarkable keynote speaker whose powerful personal journey and expertise make her a standout figure in the realm of body confidence and motivational speaking. Her life-changing decision to donate part of her liver to save her nephew, not only saved his life but also transformed her own. This experience has fuelled her passion for helping others embrace their bodies and find strength in their unique stories. Sophie’s approach is grounded in authenticity, making her an inspirational and relatable voice on the topics of body confidence, resilience, and self-acceptance.
Sophie’s career began in the world of modelling, where she enjoyed a successful 15-year run, working with some of the most prestigious brands in the industry, including Marks & Spencer and Victoria’s Secret. Her experience in the fashion world gave her first-hand insight into the pressures of maintaining a particular image, and the toll this can take on one’s mental and physical health. A pivotal moment in Sophie’s life came when she chose to donate part of her liver to her young nephew. This selfless act was not without its challenges; the surgery left her with a 7-inch scar and changed her body from a size 6 to a size 16. Instead of hiding these changes, Sophie embraced them, viewing her scars and new body shape as symbols of her strength and resilience. This profound experience reshaped her outlook on life and body image, leading her to become a passionate advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance.
Beyond her personal story, Sophie has built a significant platform as an influencer and speaker, with over 70,000 social media followers who are inspired by her messages of empowerment. In 2023, she received the ‘Body Confidence Advocate of the Year’ award for her contributions to promoting body positivity. Her collaborations with major brands and her public speaking engagements have made her a sought-after figure for events focused on personal growth, empowerment, and resilience.
