Sophia Lebano Creative, LLC– Website Design and Marketing Agency for Catholic entrepreneurs

Hi! I’m Sophia Lebano, a senior business management major and MBA student at Franciscan University of Steubenville. I’m the co-host of Hear and Now Podcast and the founder of Sophia Lebano Creative, LLC. My company, Sophia Lebano Creative, is a website design and online business management company for Catholic and Christian entrepreneurs.

I’m an accidental entrepreneur. When I was 16 years old, I decided to be homeschooled. During that time, my mom felt the call to become a writer and blogger in an online space. As part of my homeschool curriculum, she had me learn how to design websites. I never thought it would a skill that was useful to me. A few years later, I took a gap semester in my freshman year of college. During that time, I focused heavily on growing my podcast, but I felt I needed something else to do.

I joined Hope*Writers, and saw a consistent theme amonst the group members: they needed technical help in starting a website. I decided to start offering my services (super basic at the time), and sure enough, my business took off. After a few months of doing little jobs for people, I made the decision to make it official: I became a full-time entrepreneur at 19 years old. 

I’ve lived with hearing loss since the age of 8, and received bilateral cochlear implants in 2016 & 2018. Since then, I’ve started advocating for hearing loss awareness, as it’s a passion of mine to fight for what matters. My faith has been super important to me, especially living with a diagnosis like hearing loss. After being raised as a cradle Catholic, I fell deeply in love with the faith in high school, and rediscovered that fire again in college.

In my spare time, you can find me developing new business ideas, studying the latest social media trends, choreographing for Franciscan’s Musical Theatre Club, or planning my outfits for the week.  Come connect with me on Instagram @sophialebano.

Celestial Nook – True Love is for You

I help guide Catholic single women move from doubting that they’ll ever get married to poised for faithful and committed love.

Before I started dating my husband, I had believed that love was for other people and not for me. I had dated people, but never felt like I found someone I could be my whole self with. I wanted to find love, but I wasn’t sure if love was going to find me. At the end of my rope, I decided that I would commit myself to being happy, no matter what.

I knew I had to trust God’s plan. I had a savings account that I’d been using to store away money for my future wedding. I decided that day to spend that money doing something that would bring me love and joy, even if it wasn’t the way I’d originally planned. I signed myself up for ballroom dance classes, which was something I’d always wanted to do. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One day, I saw a flier for an upcoming dance competition. It sounded like an amazing opportunity! I decided to find a partner and take private lessons to get competition-ready. Initially, I asked a few friends from my dance studio to be my partner, but they didn’t seem interested in competing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I knew I was going to attend a Catholic Thrive Conference and I hoped I’d find someone there to ask. I’d seen and talked to my now-husband at other conferences and although we were friendly, we hadn’t spent much time together. With intent, I asked him if he’d want to be my dance partner in a ballroom dance competition. He answered me by saying that doing something like that was his dream! I was shocked and elated! I had no idea then, in that moment, that this was the man I was going to marry and that God had brought him to me when I my heart was ready. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you believe that God is calling you to the vocation of marriage, true love is for you.

Laura K. Roland – Him through me to you.

I am a cradle Catholic, married to my husband of 31 years. Living the true empty-nester life, my husband and I have moved 3 times in the last six years.
After the kids moved out to live their own callings, I started feeling the call to find a community of women who were in the same stage of life as me and I was surprised to find there wasn’t one. Craving authentic sisterhood, I invited a few friends to create a book club with me and well, the rest really is history. Finding this tribe of women who are on the same journey as me – to grow in holiness, to flourish in my faith, to become a saint (trust me, that’s going to be a long, long road!), has made all the difference.

Encounter Grace is an extension of that first experience, and I am so humbled to journey all these years later with Penny and so many other amazing women.

In addition to Encounter Grace, I am a speaker and writer, retreat leader, and mentor. Topics that are near and dear to my heart center around living an authentic life in the faith, encouraging women to tell their stories about their lives.

I am most passionate about connecting women no matter the season or stage of life they are in, and encouraging each of them to understand they have unique gifts and talents that only they can share with the world. And we so desperately need those gifts and talents.
