Sophia: my favorite daughter. A real old soul
9yrs old and legit gets me through life everyday with wisdom and calmness.
Doesn’t take shit.
Episode: Sophia — My Favorite Daughter (Yeah that’s right)
Meet Sophia—my favorite daughter (yes, we said it), a 9-year-old old soul, and quite possibly the calmest, wisest human in the room… even when surrounded by adults who should know better.
Sophia is the kind of kid who gets you through life one grounded sentence at a time. She brings wisdom beyond her years, a peaceful presence you can’t teach, and a confidence that says “I know who I am, and I’m not here for nonsense.”Translation? She doesn’t take shit—and we fully support it.
In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, Jessica Benevento sits down with Sophia to uncover:
✨ Where her calm confidence comes from
✨ How a 9-year-old sees the world (and adults)
✨ Why wisdom has nothing to do with age
✨ Life advice you didn’t know you needed—from someone who means it
Sophia proves that legends aren’t always the loudest, the oldest, or the most decorated. Sometimes, they’re the quiet strength, the steady voice, and the reminder that boundaries and kindness can exist at the same time.
This episode will make you laugh, pause, and maybe rethink who the real grown-ups are.
👉 Press play and meet a Local Legend in the making.
Age: 9.
Soul: Timeless.
Tolerance for nonsense: Zero.
These are the local legends shaping our communities.
