Praise for Loretta Soffe

"Loretta's story is nothing short of extraordinary. At Shelnnovates, she left the entire room in awe – there wasn't a dry eye as she shared her journey with raw honesty and authenticity. "

- Michael Johnson, CEO

"Loretta's talk was the most impactful session of the day. Hearing her share the obstacles she overcame – and the lessons learned at each chapter of her life – was both inspiring and deeply practical. As I enter my 30s and reflect on how I want to approach this next decade, her insights came at exactly the right time. She brings a rare mix of honesty, wisdom, and encouragement that makes you believe a full, thriving life is truly possible."

- Sarah Adams, Entrepreneur

"As the breadwinner in my own family, Loretta's story resonated deeply with me. Her advice about doubling down on career growth while your kids are young – and trusting that it allows you to show up even stronger later – was exactly what I needed to hear. 

- John Roberts, Business Owner
