Episode Details

We've heard Sophie talk about money on this podcast hundreds of times. But this episode? This is different. For the first time, Emily (Podcast Producer) and Lucy (Social Media Manager) here at The Curve sat down with Soph to go deep, from stealing as a six-year-old, to blowing her dad's credit card after the Christchurch earthquake, to arriving in Italy with literally no money despite having 24k in investments. We also hear from Sophie's actual parents (yes, we went there), get the full story on her relationship with money inside a relationship, and land somewhere that honestly made us a little emotional. This one's for the long-time listeners and the brand new ones alike. We hope you love it!
