Work in Progress with Sophia Bush features frank, funny, personal, professional, and sometimes even political conversations with people who inspire Sophia about how they’ve gotten to where they are, and where they think they’re still going. These discussions stem from her "aha" moment of realizing you are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.

You always seem very prepared with insightful questions and interesting guests. So many podcasts just seem to say the same thing day after day but I appreciate when I learn about a new person to me like Jen Palmieri and the interesting work she is doing. I will watch her series about southern states and looking forward to the buffalo bills special. Highlighting smart positive people is uplifting! We need more conversations like this one!
The guests are interesting, the conversation is entertaining, and I have been a fan of Sophia for decades.
Five stars for sure! The meaningful, deep, thoughtful and introspective questions that Sophia asks are what make this show incredibly special. It’s not your standard fluffy let’s interview celebrities and yuck yuck about whatever they’re slinging for sale this week. Truly appreciate the show- you have a loyal new listener! Thank you!
This woman is my soul sister. She says everything the way I would say it before I even say it. All of the healing aspects and her pure devotion to activism and love is helping me on my own healing journey. Her guests are fire, too
