Sofia officially enters a brand-new chapter — and we’re celebrating every brave step along the way 🥹✨

She kicks things off with the dramatic saga of house hunting in Austin (including an annoyingly MIA real estate agent… and this is why we have trust issues), before landing her literal dream bungalow: dark hardwood floors, bright white walls, high ceilings, a huge bathroom, walk-in closet, and a fenced backyard 🏡💖 Cue the Pinterest spiral, a questionable Facebook Marketplace moment, and a soul-level realization that her true aesthetic is feminine, romantic, pink-velvet energy — obviously.

Then comes the big moment: Sofia’s first Hinge date since Gabe. Nervous shaking, self-doubt, blueberry seeds in teeth, and the handsome, easygoing “hot farmer” who made her feel surprisingly comfortable. What Sofia thought was a polite one-and-done turns into a plot twist when he reaches out again… 👀🌾

The episode wraps with a powerful celebration: Sofia did what she said she would do. She moved to Austin. She found her dream home. And she went on a date. This conversation is about honoring progress, trusting yourself again after loss, and letting yourself feel excitement — even when part of you is scared the other shoe might drop 💕
