Summary
Heyyy, Work in Progress listeners! We’re thrilled to share a special episode takeover from Tell Me Something Messy—the raw, hilarious, and heartfelt podcast hosted by actor, writer, and activist Brandon Kyle Goodman.
In this intimate conversation, Brandon sits down with Sophia Bush to explore what happens when your personal evolution doesn’t fit the timeline others expect—diving into career pivots, heartbreak, community, faith, and the practice of coming home to yourself, baby!
Brandon also opens up about how their staged production, Heaux Church, produced by Lena Waithe, has helped reframe some of their views on community, identity, and self-compassion.
✨ Tell Me Something Messy is the podcast where vulnerability meets humor, hosted by Brandon Kyle Goodman (Big Mouth, Human Resources). Each week, Brandon and guests unpack the beautiful contradictions of being human—sex, spirituality, friendship, forgiveness, and all the glorious mess in between.
