Listen "#50 Sophie Staras | Navigating the World as a 24yo Girl... Surviving SA, Backpacking Vietnam & more!"
Episode Synopsis
Sophie is the first person I met when I moved to Sydney at the start of the year, and has since been my closest friend here.In honour of this fact, and her solid viewership of the pod, there were few others in contention for the illustrious and highly-prized 50th episode slot!Cajoled to venture out on a recent Vietnam backpacking trip... Sophie returned with plenty to talk about in the classic (yet nonetheless ever-significant) realms of self-discovery and newfound perspectives. Here we get a cheeky life update on that with my typically over-complicated line of questioning perhaps slightly hindering the convo's flow lol.Anyways... moving onto deeper and darker topics of Sophie's own experience, as well as the broader shared one of young girls and women everywhere, plenty of ideas are brought up and discussed.I've consistently struggled to entice women with the premise of such a vulnerable and un-rewarding stage as this pod is hahaha so am extremely grateful to Sophie for being up for it!Enjoy:)
