  • Remember Who You Are. Take Back Your Power.

    Life coaching and mindset transformation for individuals and communities.

"I help people change their mindset, rediscover purpose, and build confidence. From township schools to corporate spaces, every session is about transformation."

WHO I AM

Hi, I'm Sophie Mtimkulu — a certified mindset coach, public speaker, mentor, and the heart behind Coffee with Sophie.

With over 18 years of experience in the financial sector and personal development space, I’ve helped individuals from all walks of life rediscover their purpose, rebuild confidence, and step boldly into the life they were meant to live.

My journey into coaching began with my own transformation. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overlooked, and uncertain. I also know what it feels like to break free, change your mindset, and walk in your power. And that’s what I now help others do — every single day.

🌱 MY WHY

At the core of Coffee with Sophie is a belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered. I started this journey because I saw too many people — especially in township communities — hiding their light due to self-doubt, fear, or past pain.

I believe in helping people “wake up from sleep” — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

From learners in Lufereng High and Pace College, to professionals in boardrooms, I’ve made it my mission to guide others through their personal storms and into clarity, confidence, and transformation.

🎯 MY MISSION

To inspire, shape, and empower future leaders by providing transformational coaching, mindset training, and personal development tools. Whether it's helping a young person speak confidently in public or guiding a working mother through a career pivot, my mission is to help people remember who they are — and thrive.
