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.

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
Uninteresting and bland
There is HOPE! We must fight and love at the same time. We must.
The pod and Sophie and for the love of all that is good in the universe the music does NOT match the fabulousness of this program 😫😘
Not everyone, of course. Just the nimrods who don’t know how to skip over episodes of WIP so they can focus on DQ episodes. Mama didn’t teach you if you don’t have something nice/productive to say then keep your mouth shut?
Keep doing what you do, Sophia! You are a bright light in this chaotic world of ours!
PS… love the dark hair 🥰🖤
