Sophie Berude Shares her Passion for Positivity

Sophie’s inspirational presentation

Last month Sophie Berude was invited to present as a Youth Speaker at the Global Health, Wealth & Wisdom Virtual Summit. Sophie was one of 5 youth speakers, presenting alongside 60 global health, wealth, and parenting experts.

Sophie delivered her message with confidence and passion. She inspires many, and this is only the beginning of many public speaking engagements.

Sophie is passionate about sharing her cancer journey. From beating Leukemia at age 6 to gaining her strength and vitality to become a Brown Belt in Karate!

A big part of Sophie’s recovery is a result of her mindset. During her hospital ordeal, the now 12-year-old kept a ‘glitter journal.’ She and her mother, Christine Tylee, would find the magic in every day and write them down! Journaling became a daily routine, giving Sophie gratitude and hope for a healthier future.

Sophie helps others find the magic in every day! 

Presenting at the summit, Sophie shared her story of resilience and courage and the gift of using her glitter journal in the hope of inspiring others to find the positive in every challenge.

Everyone in the audience has since been invited to download a free copy of Sophie’s 7-Day Glitter Journal so they, too, can find the magic in their week!

Exclusive Celebrities Unite for a Cause

Exclusive Celebrities Unite for a Cause

Sophie and I had an extraordinary Sunday, one that could easily be mistaken for a glamorous celebrity gathering, but it was so much more meaningful. We had the honor of being part of an exclusive group in a corporate box at the AFL match, but this was no ordinary sporting event — it was Redkite Day, a significant occasion dedicated to raising funds for families affected by childhood cancer.

 

The air buzzed with a sense of community and purpose as we were surrounded by a notable crowd. We had the privilege of sharing the company of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his fiancée, Jodie Haydon, alongside the witty Adam Spencer, known for his comedic flair, and the culinary maestro Josh Niland, famed for his appearances on Masterchef.

Adding to the list of illustrious guests was Monique Keighery, the CEO of Redkite, whose leadership drives the organization’s mission forward. And, of course, there was Sophie and I, humbled and inspired by the collective passion of the group.

As part of the day’s events, Paul and Andy had the fantastic opportunity to meet with some promising players from the Swans, the heartbeat of the day’s sporting action. Meanwhile, Sophie and I embraced our role, representing the voices and stories of families navigating the challenging journey of childhood cancer. Our conversations with the Prime Minister and Jodie Haydon, along with the other distinguished guests, were not just social interactions but exchanges filled with empathy and a shared drive to make a real difference.

While we engaged in meaningful dialogue, we also witnessed the Swans claim a resounding victory — a fitting backdrop to a day marked by communal triumph. Sophie and I were more than mere spectators; we were advocates, standing in solidarity with Redkite at the Swans game, committed to the cause that means so much to us.

Being special guests for Redkite in a corporate box alongside the nation’s leader and his partner highlighted that were there not just to watch a game but to champion a cause close to our hearts — to aid children with cancer and support their families. It was indeed a Sunday unlike any other, filled with the spirit of generosity, hope, and the heartfelt effort to make a real difference.

Introducing the Glitter Philosophy Bracelets

Introducing the Glitter Philosophy Bracelets

A Shimmering Reminder of Hope and Gratitude

Sophie and I are thrilled to share a beautiful initiative born out of resilience and love—the Glitter Philosophy Bracelets. These unique accessories are not just jewelry, they embody a powerful message of finding joy and gratitude every day, a philosophy that Sophie embraced wholeheartedly during her courageous battle with leukemia.

The Spark behind the Sparkle

During some of her toughest days, Sophie’s spirit shone brightly as she consistently found “the glitter”—those moments of joy and thankfulness amidst adversity. Her positivity was a beacon for all who knew her. When The Body Shop, a previous avenue for fundraising, closed, Sophie and I were determined to find a new way to support children and families facing cancer, and so the Glitter Philosophy Bracelets were created.

Emily’s European Adventure

Emily’s European Adventure

As the clock struck midnight on April 11, Emily, embarked on a school trip of a lifetime. Bound for the rich landscapes of Europe, her itinerary promised an immersion into the very cradle of Western civilization. With the enthusiasm of their youth, 40 teenagers set off for Italy!

The Roman Holiday

The trip’s first leg took Emily to Rome, the Eternal City, where she basked in the glory of its historical grandeur. Her excitement was obvious through the photos she sent back home. The group then ventured to the stunning cliffs and clear blue waters of Sorrento, they then travelled on to explore Pompeii and climb Mt Vesuvius … where they were apparently disappointed that they couldn’t see lava 😆

Reflecting in Poland

The journey took a reflective turn on April 18, as Emily and her peers arrived in Poland. They visited Auschwitz, a place that stands as a somber reminder of the darkest times in human history. For Emily, studying Modern and Ancient History was an invaluable experience to walk through the very places she had only read about in textbooks.

 

Witnessing History in Unforgettable Germany

By April 21, the group had made their way to Germany, tracing the scars of WW2 and the Cold War through iconic sites like the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, and the remnants of the Berlin Wall. Amidst the falling snow, history came to life for Emily, leaving a profound impression on her.

Her journey in Germany reached a whimsical peak at Neuschwanstein Castle, a vision of fairy-tale architecture that captivated her imagination and stood out as a favorite destination on her trip!

Exploring Munich and Nuremberg

Emily’s exploration of Germany continued through the historic streets of Nuremberg and the vibrant city of Munich. With each location, her love for travel and history grew.

Parisian Days in the City of Lights 

No European adventure could forgo the charm of Paris, and Emily’s encounter with the City of Lights did not disappoint. Her joy was evident in the snapshot sent from the Louvre, donning a pink vest—gifted to her by her peers for a series of comical mishaps that added a layer of laughter to their trip!

A Magical Conclusion at Disneyland Paris

The trip ended in the enchanting realms of Disneyland Paris. As Emily reported, it indeed was “the happiest place on earth,” wrapping up their two-week trip with delight and wonder.

The Return Home

As the group and Emily prepared for their homeward journey filled with souvenirs and fatigue, they carried with them more than just physical tokens. They brought back a wealth of knowledge, cultural insight, and personal growth that only the wonder of travel could bestow.

We are incredibly grateful for the group of teachers who gave up their school holidays to accompany the kids on this trip of a lifetime!
