SHOW NOTES:
This week on The Everygirl Podcast, Josie sits down with Aurora and Sophia Culpo, 2/3 of the Culpo sisters, influencers, and co-stars of their own reality show on TLC. The episode begins with Sophia and Aurora explaining what their childhood was like in Rhode Island. Their father was in the restaurant business and their mother studied music while they were growing up, so their lives have completely transformed as they have moved from Rhode Island to Los Angeles. They tell stories about what it was like to grow up in a lively household where everyone was always welcome, and how their parents juggled three active, enthusiastic young daughters. The two also discuss their parents’ philosophy on hard work and pursuing careers that they loved, rather than opting to choose the path that would make them the most money. From there, the conversation turns to Sophia’s decision to receive a degree in nutrition from Boston University, plus how she’s brought that background knowledge to her social media presence. Aurora then shares her experience as a behavior analyst and how that translated to her career as an influencer. Josie asks whether the two of them think that influencing and social media comes naturally to them, and Sophia and Aurora reveal what it’s like to have the voices of each of their sisters in their heads at all times. Josie, Sophia, and Aurora all chat about how difficult it can be to see a close sibling go through a challenging time, and Josie asks the two of them to explain moments when they felt the most empathy for their sister. The episode transitions into the challenges of being a public figure on social media, from ungrounded speculations about Sophia’s physical wellness to Aurora’s experience with mom-shaming. It’s not all internet trolls, though: Sophia and Aurora also explain some of their favorite things about building a community on social media. Josie asks Aurora and Sophia to each share a bit about their self-confidence journeys, and they share their own advice for becoming more confident and overcoming shame. They discuss their different perspectives on confidence and social media, given their age difference. Finally, Josie asks the girls for all the details on their wellness rituals and routines: they chat all things supplements, morning routines, sleep, exercise, and more. The episode closes with some fun rapid-fire questions for both sisters.
