Hey guys, I’m Sophia! I’m a wife, mom to 3, special needs parent, and -obviously- a book lover. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, CA so I’m a California girl through and through. I have always loved books for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a really strict household and while it seemed like my parents had rules & restrictions for everything in my life, books were the one area where I was really given freedom to do whatever I wanted. Want to go to a friend’s after school? Eh … Want to go buy books at the bookstore by yourself? Off you go! You get the idea 😉
My husband, James, and I have been married for 11 years now and together we have three kids: two girls and a boy. Our oldest daughter is on the autism spectrum so I also walk the journey of a special needs parent, which is just as difficult as you might think but much more beautiful than anyone could imagine.
Over the years, I’ve worked in all sorts of fields ranging from public relations to personal styling but at the end of the day, I would still consider my main job title to be a full-time Homemaker and Stay-At-Home-Mom (SAHM) … and I wouldn’t have it any other way; I LOVE being a SAHM!
This podcast was a passion project born out of a genuine love that Jensine and I both have for reading. If you follow me on IG (@sophiaksays) then you’ll know that I also love a good “story time” so talking is apparently another one of my hobbies, making Pen & Page Gals quite possibly the most perfect side hustle ever.
When I’m not reading, podcasting, or packing lunches for my kids, I also blog at sophiaksays.com where I give a bigger peek into my personal life. After you’re done perusing over here, feel free to go check it out!
