i am the sensitive soul
You are…
the sensitive soul
You’re thoughtful, gentle and may be introverted or shy. You can be quite expressive with close friends and communities you feel safe in, but in public and new situations you tend to be quiet and take a while to warm up.
You make people feel seen but feel shy about sharing.
about your
messenger archetype
Superpower
People feel seen and safe around you. They aren’t threatened so they can open up. Your colleagues are naturally drawn to support your cause.
Shadow Side
You fear being disliked or criticized, your good intentions being questioned. As a result, at times you don’t speak up about what matters or share your work with the world. It’s hard to be heard over all the noise online, and people often overlook you. It feels exhausting to play the game.
Inner Conflict
"It’s scary to put myself out there and have everyone’s attention on me. I don’t know how to do this in a way that works for me. I don’t fit the picture of what a leader looks like, and I don’t know if I’m cut out for this.”
When Your Messaging feels Messy:
You burn out all your energy hovering with your finger over publish and end up second guessing yourself so much that your people don’t hear from you that often. You sporadically post or send newsletters, and you’re so humble that when you share you don’t own your value or position yourself well.
When Your Messaging is CLEAR:
Your passion for what you’re saying makes you courageous, and you say what needs to be said. Your heart is so wide open that your community easily falls in love with you. They feel seen and understood and want to join/support/root for your cause.

I’m Adria Sophia
(she/her), shy TEDx speaker, neurodivergent podcaster, great-granddaughter of Sophie & Antonia and mentor to quiet leaders.
I developed the five Messenger Archetypes based on what I’ve observed supporting hundreds of introverted coaches & sensitive leaders to clarify their brand messaging.
I’m also a semi-nomadic dogmom to Lexi the Doberman who loves to be out in the middle of nowhere with my family in our campervan.
As host of the Quiet Messenger Podcast (7 years & counting!), and leader of cozy, intimate Messenger Masterminds, I'm here to help you refine your next true message, reconnect with your people & realign who you are now with how you’re showing up so you step into your next level of impact.
