The Most Powerful Question A Woman Can Ask Herself: "What Do I Want?" | Sofi (The Oddity) What happens when you stop living according to everyone else's expectations and start making decisions based on what you truly want? In this episode of For Mannerless Women, Adelle sits down with digital creator, storyteller and podcaster Sofi (The Odditty) for a deeply honest conversation about reclaiming ownership over every part of your life. From questioning societal expectations as a child to navigating life as a young African woman in America, Sofi shares how choosing herself, again and again, has shaped the woman she is today. Together, they unpack why financial independence is about more than money, why emotional regulation is one of the greatest investments a woman can make, what it means to redefine beauty and desirability on your own terms, and why being bold is often the beginning of freedom.
