"Being able to love the process and love the journey is the only way.” Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Shelley Sanders (@thelastlinela). Shelley is a jewelry designer based in Los Angeles and the founder and creative director of The Last Line - one of my favorite brands! Shelley’s career began in New York where she studied Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design before returning home to California to train with Master Jewelers in San Francisco. Shelley eventually returned to Los Angeles to begin her career as a jewelry designer, a role that quickly evolved into her becoming the head designer and creative director for dozens of celebrity jewelry brands and high-end jewelry houses, working with everything from gold to diamonds to precious stones. After being in the “biz” for almost two decades, Shelley created The Last Line - a direct-to-consumer fine jewelry business that pairs accessible pricing with stunning designs offering customers a mix of high and low, vintage and modern, done-up but dressed-down one-of-a-kind pieces.
On today’s episode of Work In Progress, Sophia and Shelley discuss Shelley’s childhood growing up in LA, her journey through the design world, the jewelry industry, the ins and outs of starting and running a business, the role of social media in entrepreneurship today, Shelley’s company The Last Line...and so, SO much more.

“There’s one humanity and there’s one planet and we’re all in this together...we can’t separate ourselves by borders or oceans - we’re so interconnected, we have to solve these problems together.” Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Jonathan Webb (@webbjonathan). Jonathan is an entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of AppHarvest (@appharvest), a company that is helping to turn his dream of a high-tech farming hub in Appalachia into reality.

Jonathan strives to work alongside the hard-working men and women of Eastern Kentucky and build a resilient economy for the future.
On today’s episode of Work In Progress, Sophia and Jonathan discuss Jonathan’s childhood growing up in Kentucky, his time with the Department of Defense & the work he has done in the energy world, the Netherlands and its high-tech greenhouses, innovating the way we source energy, how to better bring people together and improve the agricultural future of our country and world, Jonathan’s company AppHarvest...and so, SO much more.

“Art revolutionizes the world very differently than political revolutions. But it is just as effective.” Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Tony de los Reyes (@tonydlreyes)!
Tony is an inspiring visual artist who has been creating artwork that explores the complexity of the US-Mexico border for several years now. Beginning his immersion with big picture inspiration from Google Maps, his work has since evolved into a closer inspection of the border, the walls that have come to define it, and the physical space surrounding it. Tony’s work has been featured in many renowned galleries and museums such as LACMA, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Annenberg Space for Photography, and the New Britain Museum of American Art.
On this episode of Work in Progress, Sophia and Tony dive deep into thoughts on artistic beginnings, how we react to tragedy, the power of art, and the importance of examining the lines that divide us.

“I can do nothing if I’m sitting there waiting for the muse. If I’m writing something- good, bad, irrelevant- then I get ideas.” Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Jenni Konner (@jennikonner)!

Jenni is a television writer and producer who’s worked alongside Lena Dunham as the co-executive producer and showrunner of Girls for all six of the hit show’s seasons. She continued her partnership with Dunham on HBO’s Camping while also working with her to create the popular feminist newsletter, Lenny Letter. Just last year, Jenni signed a multi-year overall deal with Fox 21 Television Studios, where she’ll be creating, overseeing and producing various series for the studio’s many platforms.

On today’s episode of Work In Progress, Sophia and Jenni discuss imposter syndrome, hippy progressive schools, the ins and outs of running a show, and how restaurant experience translates to producing. They also touch on Jenni’s early career stints in development and as a Hollywood assistant, and how she forged her path as a TV writer under the mentoring wing of Judd Apatow. For anyone interested in the entertainment industry, this conversation really pulls back the veil and gets into all of the unseen work that goes into every production.

“I don’t want to make a feminist book for girls. We get it so much and the girls are getting it so much. It’s the boys who- we need the next generation of boys to be different. And so we need to put it in all the books. The books that are aimed at boys, the books that are aimed at all kids.” Today on Work in Progress, Sophia is joined by Natalie Portman (@natalieportman)!
Natalie is known worldwide as an Academy Award winning actress, director, producer, and activist. Born in Israel, Natalie immigrated to the US with her parents at the age of 3 and began auditioning when her family moved to New York. After her film debut in Leon: The Professional at age 12, Natalie has gone on to star in over 40 films. Natalie is far more than a talented and successful actress - she has used her platform for extensive advocacy and activism, championing causes like the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements, animal rights, protecting the environment, Black Lives Matter, and many more. Proving that she really can do it all, Natalie recently published Natalie Portman’s Book of Fables, which retells classic children’s fables in a more modern and representative light.
On today’s episode, Sophia and Natalie discuss the 2020 experience, learning to act by acting, what it’s like to go to college when you’re already a movie star, and the unfortunate observation that the world tends to undervalue professions and skills that are stereotypically female. Natalie also shares how she faces the challenge of being a working mom while still making time for the causes she cares about. Plus, Natalie and Sophia touch on their mutual involvement in Angel City FC, the national Women’s Soccer league franchise of which Natalie is a founder. Enjoy!

Thanks.

I just listened to her podcast episode with Jessica Malaty Rivera. It was so interesting. It kind of upsets me that there was a program the US Government was working on that tracked pandemics, and that was defunded according to Rivera. Rivera said it was called Project Argos? Or something? It was fascinating how she talked about how they tracked outbreaks/epidemics/pandemics by like hospital admit rates, prevalence of respiratory diseases, or prevalence of some disease going on with an animal. And they'd take all those data points and like map out the viruses.

I feel like I'm the only on here who listens to her podcast. LOL. Someone do it with me!

**stlavin95** · 12-23-2020, 03:44 AM

No problem

I'm behind in so many podcasts, lol

“In my lifetime, I’m gonna see this conversation change. I’m gonna see the shame and stigma lift. And I’m going to hopefully have played some small part in letting women know they deserve to advocate for themselves on something that is so fundamental to how we move through this world.” Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Cindy Eckert (@cindypinkceo)! Cindy is a serial-entrepreneur and highly vocal advocate for women, specifically in the areas of business and health. Over her impressive 24-year career in healthcare, Cindy created and sold two innovative pharmaceutical companies, Slate Pharmaceuticals and Sprout Pharmaceuticals. At Sprout, she forged a new path in women’s healthcare by creating Addyi, the first ever FDA approved drug for low sexual desire in women. After selling it for $1B only to see it shelved, she fought tooth and nail to get it back and make sure that it was made available for women against all odds. She now mentors and invests in entrepreneurs with ground-breaking ideas through her investment fund, The Pink Ceiling. This “pinkubator” helps women do what Cindy has already done herself: achieve big success, take command in male dominated industries, and truly change the world.
On today’s episode of Work in Progress, Sophia and Cindy discuss moving around as a kid, the importance of individuality in the workplace, and how the best way to change a problematic industry is to change it from within. They also explore the social conditioning of women around the subject of sexual pleasure, and why female sexual health is largely overlooked. This episode is about advocating for ourselves as women and demanding better. You’ll want to share this one with every person you know.

“Your ability to work with your own vulnerabilities gives you compassion for other people’s vulnerabilities.” Today on Work in Progress, Sophia is joined by David Whyte (@davidjwhyte)!
David is an accomplished poet and associate fellow at Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford. He grew up in Yorkshire to an Irish mother and an English father, and his love of poetry and the natural world started early in his life. Rather than formally studying poetry and literature, David took a different path and earned a degree in Marine Zoology after being inspired by Jacques Cousteau. He was a natural guide in the Galapagos Islands and led tours into the Himalaya, and all of his adventurous travels ended up leading him right back to poetry. David has published several books of poetry and prose including The Bell and the Blackbird, Everything is Waiting for You, and The House of Belonging. He also has the unique credential of bringing poetry into the corporate world for the purpose of enhancing leadership.
On today’s episode, Sophia and David discuss the robustness of vulnerability, being ravished by the natural world, and how sometimes you have to start “undoing” yourself in order to progress. They also share ideas about destiny, finding yourself, and how poetry is “the language against which we have no defenses”. If you’ve been wishing to see a little more poetry in the world lately, then this episode is definitely for you.

“I like to call myself a guide from darkness to light, from prison to freedom. Because prison is your own mind and the key is in your pocket.” Today on Work in Progress, Sophia is joined by Dr. Edith Eger (@dr.editheger)! Dr. Eger is a highly sought after psychologist, author, and keynote speaker who survived the Holocaust as a teenage girl and went on to thrive despite the trauma she endured. Edie, as her friends affectionately call her, obtained her doctorate in psychology and learned to use her imprisonment at Auschwitz as a powerful analogy for the prisons we create in our own minds. Her mission is now to inspire others to discard their limitations and find renewal and freedom within themselves. After becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author with her memoir, The Choice, Dr. Eger wrote a hands-on guide to overcoming trauma that just came out this fall called “The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life”. Somehow between her busy clinical practice in La Jolla and her many speaking engagements, this energetic 93 year-old generously made time to sit down for a chat!
On today’s episode of Work in Progress, Sophia and Dr. Eger discuss the power of thought, how the most obnoxious person can be your best teacher, why “How are you doing?” is a stupid question, and how love is what you do rather than what you say. Dr. Eger also shares her harrowing accounts of arriving at Auschwitz, being forced to dance for Josef Mengele, and how she found the spirit to survive it all within her own mind.

"Meditate inside yourself because that’s where the answers lie.” Today on Work in Progress, Sophia is joined by Arezu ( @inspire_zu)!
Arezu has been practicing yoga and meditation since she was a small child and now teaches various forms of yoga in Los Angeles such as Kundalini, Vinyasa, Prenatal, Restorative & for Kids ages 2 and up. At the age of just 14, Arezu became the youngest KRI certified Kundalini teacher in the US. While her passion for yoga has led her to bring her teachings to collegiate athletes and employees of various government buildings like the Veterans Medical Center and the World Bank; Arezu is far more than a yoga teacher. Her studies at George Washington University had an acute focus on the more humanitarian aspects of International Affairs, and her own humanitarian efforts started even earlier than that. She served as an Ambassador to Healing Bridges from 2007-2012, during which time she visited and then raised over $130,000 to build a girl’s school in Sudan, later helping to build a school in Guatemala as well. In 2009, she was awarded the Cynthia Harrell Horn Humanitarian Award.
Today, Arezu is dedicated to pushing her students beyond their limitations, as she strives to do in her own life. She created her brand INSPIREZU, to be a source of inspiration for you, both on and off the yoga mat. She has bridged her love for yoga and giving back, by becoming a brain specialist teaching yoga and meditation for Mental Health and specifically Alzheimers awareness & prevention.
On today’s episode, Sophia and Arezu discuss what it’s like to be immersed in yoga and meditation as a child, the freedom of showing up as your authentic self, and having an attitude of service in everything you do. Arezu also leads a short mantra meditation that you can try along with Sophia. If you’ve been trying to find a way to slow down and be present, this episode is for you.

Haha. Me, too. I haven't listened to all of WIP. I"m like sporadically alternating between podcasts, but never finishing them.

Thanks for posting the latest pic!

**stlavin95** · 01-20-2021, 02:57 AM

What podcasts do you tend to listen it?

No problem

valleygirlsyndrome · 01-20-2021, 02:12 PM

I like Work in Progress, of course. Although, I have not listened to all episodes, because they are like two hours long.

I really like Maintenance Phase, which is this new podcast about diet and weight culture. I've found it really informative and interesting.

I like Justice in America. Why is this Happening? w/Chris Hayes.

The Daily is something I try to listen to more often, since it's by the NY Times, so listening to it helps keeps me updated with current events.

Just a lot of informational podcasts.

Although, I have been known to listen to True Crime podcasts. Haha.

I used to be a Luminary member, but I let my membership lapse, because I didn't really find it worth it having both Luminary and Spotify. There was this podcast called Tabloid about Ivanka Trump, and I found it a fascinating investigative deep dive.

Of course, now I'm happy it's inauguration day! So, hopefully, I'll never have to think about her or her company ever again.

**stlavin95** · 01-21-2021, 01:18 PM

Never really listened to the ones you listed haha

I mainly listen to either Sport and True Crime podcasts
