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.

  • Ya’ll are dumb

    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 🥰🖤

  • Not drama queens.

    Stay out of my feed. Tired of having to mark every episode as “played” so they stop showing up in the unplayed drama queens episodes and having to remove downloads because I follow Drama Queens NOT work in progress. Just stop.
