Overdue Check-in

💫 Back to Blogging — and Full of Gratitude

Between school, lacrosse, building my Skool community (Sofia’s Squad), and just… life — I’ve admittedly fallen behind on writing these blog posts.

But today, I realized those were all just excuses. So I’m making a commitment to myself — and to all of you — to make this a regular part of my daily routine again. Writing helps me reflect, stay grounded, and share what’s really happening behind the scenes.

And wow… there’s been so much to be grateful for.

As of October 23rd, we’ve grown to 299 followers on Instagram (in less than two months!), welcomed 93 members to Sofia’s Squad, and hosted four incredible Zoom sessions with amazing guests — Coach Mindy McCord, Rachel Clark, Meaghan Tyrrell, and John Eades (I have attached links to each guest’s podcast).

Even more exciting, two Division I women’s lacrosse teams and two high school programs (in different states!) have officially joined the Squad. The support and enthusiasm from our community has been overwhelming — and deeply inspiring.

Seeing my dream start to take shape has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’m beyond thankful for every message, comment, share, and word of encouragement. My mission has always been to help inspire change and make a positive impact on developing young women across the country — and this is just the beginning.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. If I can ever help you in any way, please know I’m here for you. ❤️

P.S. #1: My nephew will be born in just a few short hours — can’t wait to meet Ryder Jay Chepenik!

P.S. #2: Stay tuned for regular blog updates — more reflections, lessons, and exciting news coming soon! ❤️
