HEY, FRIEND!

ALLOW ME TO PROPERLY INTRODUCE MYSELF

I AM SONIA SMITH

Founder + CEO of The Barefoot Business Skool

The Barefoot Business Skool wasn’t just created—it was born from necessity.

For over 20 years, I’ve been obsessed with unlocking potential. As a lawyer with the United Nations in Geneva and New York, an MBA lecturer, a X3 business founder, and even a former Miss Switzerland finalist, I’ve had the honor of helping people experience life-changing breakthroughs in almost every domain of business and life.

What I noticed time and time again is this: after transformation, people feel an undeniable pull to share their unique gifts with the world—to create something fully aligned with who they are and live the life of their dreams. But the tools and systems to guide them through this transition didn’t exist.

So, I created them.

The Barefoot Business Skool offers a holistic, identity-based approach with unique proprietary tools designed to help you turn your natural gifts into a joyful, thriving business. Here, you’ll discover programs crafted to make building your iconic business simple, even if:

• Branding makes you cringe.

• Wealth feels uncomfortable.

• The spotlight isn’t your thing.

The world needs what you have to offer, and I’m here to help you share it. You don’t want to look back and wonder, what if?

Let’s create your dream business—and life—together.

PS: Can I tell you something?

The truth is this: there’s something extraordinary within you – something the world deeply needs.

If you choose to honor it, to bring it forth, it will transform your life and your work in ways you can’t yet imagine. But if you bury it, or let the world tell you it doesn’t matter, that truth can weigh you down.

There is a space in this universe designed uniquely for you—a place only your authenticSELF can fill. I’m here to help you step into that space, embrace your truth, and rewrite what’s possible for your life’s work.

Introducing The AuthenticSELF Model — My Propriety System to UNLOCK YOUR UNSTOPPABLE SELF.

Two of the most harmful myths is that you’re meant to go it alone and that you are not good enough to be [you fill in the blank!]. So the first breakthrough comes in realizing you were never, ever meant to walk this path by yourself.

If fears and doubts have kept your AuthenticSELF hidden, maybe it’s because, at some point, someone made you feel the “real you” wasn’t good enough. Or perhaps sometimes you wonder if there’s a “real you” at all. Yet your ability to ask these questions hints at a deeper truth: these fears, doubts, perceived limits and your past—they’re not who you are.

Your experiences and others expectations do not define you; they’re part of your Journey, guiding you back to the AuthenticSELF you were always meant to be.

Discover The AuthenticSELF Method

I’m thrilled to share these breakthrough systems because your AuthenticSELF doesn’t just bring you true success and fulfillment—your transformation sends ripples across the universe itself (yes,truly!).

If you feel even the faintest sense that you’re meant for something greater, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Discovering your AuthenticSelf isn't rocket science.

Transformation doesn’t have to be complicated, but it can be profound and lasting.

Many people, when they feel their AuthenticSELF for the first time, experience a mix of awe and surprise—they wonder where it’s been hiding all along!

The system you now have in your hands was crafted to dissolve deep layers of fear and doubt safely, guiding you to reveal your AuthenticSELF.

If you feel called to share your gifts and create a life that feels fully yours, then you are absolutely in the right place. Here, you’ll find everything you need to bring forth what's already within you—whether that’s owning your unique story, publishing a book, building and scaling a business, launching a movement, or fully embracing your creative potential.

Your AuthenticSELF is waiting; all that’s left is to step in.
