Sofie Pok- Trust Your Messy Process

Sofie Pok- Trust Your Messy Process

Author: Follow on IG @hairdustry May 19, 2025 Duration: 1:00:44

🎙️Why your mess-ups mean you're getting better

Ever catch yourself redoing something 21 times just to get it “right”?
You’re not alone—and it might be exactly what helps you grow.

👇👇

In this episode, barber + creative director Sofie Pok (@staygold31) gets real about the art of repetition, perfectionism, and embracing “flops” as a tool for leveling up.

And with Co-Host Gabby Bach @gabbymarieedits (Associate Managing Editor @beautylaunchpad), they go deep on the behind-the-scenes grind—from stage performances to video production—and the very human voice inside that says “you’re not enough.”

But here’s the twist: that voice? It’s wrong.
And embracing the imperfections might be your most powerful move yet.

✨ What you’ll walk away with:

  • How to trust your process when your voice shakes and tech fails

  • Why elite artists and content creators repeat until the magic happens

  • What it really means to “stay gold” when you’re navigating identity + burnout

  • The healing power of sharing personal history (Sofie’s Cambodia story will stick with you)

This one is about reclaiming your story, owning your process, and giving yourself permission to not be perfect—and STILL move forward.

🎧 Hit play when you’re feeling like a flop.
You’ll walk away feeling fired up and seen.
