Work in Progress with Sophia Bush

by iHeartPodcasts

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

Dardles7 · Jan 2026

I absolutely loved this episode from the humor to real life stuff it was amazing to hear Chelsea talk about real life issues that are so relatable right now. It shifted my mindset to what I’m going through currently. I loved the way Sophia interviewed her and was super thoughtful with her responses. Part 2 please!!

Fimp89 · Feb 2025

Sophia is so warm and generous to her guests and facts matter to her. She has conversations that inspire you to be better.

Jen in Lake Norman · Feb 2025

Ok, so I need to change my 1 star review to a 5, because I love you, I love Drama Queens, and I have really appreciated the perspectives of all involved as a 45 year old woman. But listening to your Kamala Harris episode, which I was super excited about, I just about stopped dead in my tracks to hear an ad against the Florida amendment 4 (legalizing marijuana). I’ll say whatever your take on the actual legalization (which I think is so much healthier than alcohol consumption), the fact that you ran an ad created by the FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION is unconscionable. I’m a teacher in the state of Florida, and I have witnessed over the last several years an attack on many of the very people and principals that you speak up for. The FLDOE is not an ally… and to give them ad space on your podcast is a huge red flag for me. I hope you reconsider where your spending goes. Thank you, Melisa
