Hey there! This week I am graced by the presence of Sofía Yepes, co-founder of the online community: Break The Beauty Mold. We start by introducing Sofi and a tea talk. We break the ice with some rapid fire questions and then explore BTBM’s story, self care amidst a pandemic, building a safe online space, and advice for young girls. After, Sofi asks me some questions and shares her podcast recommendations.
