About Ann-Sofie
My life isn't perfect. And I love it.
Hi, I'm Ann-Sofie, founder of Badass Woman Academy.
My drive is to inspire women like you to hold your standard, enjoy life and feel secure and fulfilled – both as a single woman and in a relationship.
“You don't have to live perfectly to love your life.”
Feminine. Genuine. Badass.
Life has so much wonderful to offer. I want more women to experience it that way.
For close to 20 years I have immersed myself in personal development, relationships and human behaviour – from soma therapy, Biodanza and embodiment to tantra, dating, self-leadership, mindset and social psychology. In total I have invested more than SEK 300,000 in my own development.
But my greatest education has been my own transformation. And the past year and a half has changed everything.
From adapting to Badass Queen
I have always had a great capacity for joy, pleasure and presence. I am close to my emotions, strongly connected to my body and find it easy to appreciate the beautiful things in life.
But the time before and after my divorce became one of the most challenging periods of my life. I lost much of my usual energy, desire and joy. Despite all my years of personal development, I realised I needed help – and got support from a coach myself to rebuild, step by step.
At the same time, there were other parts of me that needed to change. I have sometimes adapted, put others before myself and made myself smaller to fit in.
Not anymore.
I have learned to set boundaries, communicate what I need, let go of what is not right, and raise my standard – in love and in life. I have become better at actively choosing what gives me energy and creating more of what I long for.
My natural joy came back – but together with a security and a self-leadership I had not had in the same way before.
Today I have more energy. I laugh more. Dance more. Experience more. I feel freer, safer and more alive – and I live a life I genuinely love.
To me, that is what it means to be a Badass Queen. Soft, feminine and sensitive. But also strong, clear and secure in what I want.
From dating panic to pleasurable dating
The change is perhaps clearest in how I date. I have gone from letting in unclear and half-hearted men and feeling anxious when I was rejected – to dating with a completely different security and standard.
I know what I am looking for. I communicate what I need. And I am selective about who gets my time and energy.
But something else has changed too. As I became clearer about who I am and what I am looking for, the men I attract changed as well. Today I meet men who are clear about their interest, court me with respect and invest time and energy in getting to know me.
Four years of active dating have also given me enormous experience of modern dating, which I now use to support other women. The big question has changed from "How do I get him to choose me?" to "Is this a man I want to choose?"
I am no longer afraid of living alone. I love my life – and I date to meet the right man to share it with.
A life I am no longer waiting for
Today I am often told that I have a lovely energy and a magnetic presence. I experience people, men and opportunities coming to me with a completely different ease.
To me, magnetism is not a trick. It is what happens when you enjoy the life you live.
And no – my life is not perfect. There is still plenty I long for and am building.
The difference is that I no longer wait for everything to fall into place before I start living. I enjoy life while it is happening. The dancing. Nature. The love around me. The travel. The food. The laughter. A glass of bubbly. A beautiful morning by the water. An ordinary Tuesday that feels just perfect.
I appreciate what I have – and still dare to want more.
Why I created Badass Woman Academy
I want to help women like you make your own transformation. To understand what you need. Prioritise what gives you energy. Hold your standard. Dare to let go. Date without panic. Enjoy more. And create a life and relationships you genuinely love.
Life becomes exactly as good as you make it. And you deserve to enjoy it.
