  • Gotta B Three! (Triplet Vibes)

    We hope you are as excited to finally get to know the third person of our trinity as we are to present her in this week's episode. Meet Sophia's very own twin Camille! (Pause for applause...applause acknowledged and accepted) 

    Sophia and Camille were born just minutes apart almost exactly 22 years ago. Camille had several birth complications that affected her for the first few years of her life, rendering her the runt of the 'litter' taking longer to develop the highly advanced social skills that Sophia so rapidly developed and wisely used to create this enjoyable podcast! 


    Nah, just kidding. Sophia doesn’t have a twin. Sophia and Camille are merely sisters 2 years apart. We'll hold off on their ages and let you guess who the elder one is. Payton, Sophia, and Camille think of themselves as a trinity of sorts due to their claims of inseperability and ability to work together and read each others minds seemlessly. Kick back and enjoy this week's episode with our third wheel, cousin, and sister Camille.


    **DISCLAIMER: Written by none other than Camille herself; use your sorting skills to figure out what is true or not🤦🏾‍♀️😁
