Hi everyone, Sophia Bush here. Welcome to work in progress where I talk to people who inspire me about how they got to where they are and where they think they're still going.

Today's guest is a very dear friend of mine. In fact, she is a sister friend. And what I mean by that is she's the kind of soul friend who feels like my family. And she happens to be the one and only Glen and Doyle.

I met Glen in years ago and I am telling you guys we instantly hit it off. Her honesty and the way she shares about her life and welcomes everyone into her circle. Her horseshoe in fact is so inspiring to me.

Today we're going to talk about how we met. We're going to go through her story. We're going to dig into why we need to change the expectations we put on girls and how we raise them. And of course, we're going to talk all about her latest book, Untamed.

Which you absolutely have to read. We started chatting right away about being morning people and how she takes advantage of the early hours of the day. So if you're catching this first thing in the morning, you're welcome. And if you're catching it later, you're still going to be inspired. I promise she's that good. Enjoy.

Enjoy.

Are you a morning person?

I'm only a morning person. And I actually think that's why I'm done by five because I'm usually up to three hours earlier, two, three hours earlier than everyone in the house.

So I'm usually five. I figured out a long time ago, especially with little ones when they were when my kids were little, but that was the only time I was myself.

And it was also most creative in the morning, that's the only time I can really write creatively is first thing in the morning. But there's something about like being a woman that the minute the world wakes up, you just get thrown into a million different roles and service and showing up and all the things.

And so I figured out that there were a couple magical hours in the morning where I was like nobody's mom, nobody's wife, nobody's boss, nobody's like completely outside of roles. And it really feels like soul time to me.

And I feel like I'm like pulling one over on the world because like I've already been up for hours before everybody else gets started.

I'm like, if I do nothing else the rest of the day, I've already done my things, I've usually done creative by the time the sun comes up. But yeah, that's my magic time.

I like magic time.

Yeah, it's.

If I don't have it for a while, I feel myself start to get itchy.

You know, I always ask women because it's like that time, you know, and untamed where one of the themes is like when I saw Abby, then I thought there she is.

Like, there she is time about me.

About yourself.

Yeah.

And I think we're all in this moment of reckoning or awakening where we realize we have to feel that way about ourselves. We've been cultured for so long to think that what we need is outside of ourselves.

It's in our person, it's in our partner, it's in the Disney Prince, it's in the body we want to have or the house we want to move into or the Pinterest board that will eventually become our life if we try hard enough.
