- What inspired you to get into contortion? What is it about it that you love?
- SOFIE: I was 12 years old and watching Cirque du Soleil videos on YouTube seeing performers bending and twisting and thought, “Hey, I can do that!” So I kept watching and started to teach myself. I loved the uniqueness of it and how it made my body feel.
- Back in March, you appeared on Good Mythical Morning. What was it like hanging with Rhett and Link?
- SOFIE: Rhett and Link are hilarious and so fun to work with. The best part was trying to teach them some contortion! In fact, I just ran into them again and you can find them in a clip in an upcoming YouTube video, releasing June 30th!

- SOFIE: I want to learn how to scuba dive!
- How are you hoping to use your influence and platform for good?
- SOFIE: I want to continue spreading a positive message through my YouTube videos, but I also am working on connecting with children through motivational speaking at schools encouraging them to act from their heart, work hard, and give back.
- What has inspired you recently?
- SOFIE: Recently and always, my fans have always inspired me with their comments about how hard they’re working on what they love. I’m both inspired and so incredibly grateful for them!
- Your new apparel line just dropped! Tell us a little about working on your new merch.
- SOFIE: I wanted to start an apparel line that expressed the message that anything is possible with heart and hard work. I was inspired by my experiences of following my heart to do something I loved even though it didn’t make sense to anyone else. I wanted to share with everyone that the strength inside is what makes you strong outside. Amazing things can happen when actions come from the heart and you stay true to yourself.
