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.

It's Q&A time!

Sophia is back, answering listener questions, including how she deals with stress, the women in her life who inspire her, the show she had the most fun on (you might be surprised), life lessons she learned from some of her jobs, and why she's happier than she's ever been!

Plus, we learn Sophia's biggest pet peeve of all time, preferred self-care treatment, her favorite song on Cowboy Carter, who her one call from jail would be, and whether she's yay or nay on a One Tree Hill reunion!

When her country called, she answered. Mae Krier is a real-life Rosie the Riveter who, at just 17, left home to work in a factory and help her country during World War II.

The trailblazer and Congressional Gold Medal recipient shares her journey with Sophia, which spans the Great Depression, living through 17 American Presidents and contributing to the war effort by building bombers for Boeing during WWII. It's a riveting story from a member of the greatest generation.
