Work In Progress: Shannon Watts

Work In Progress: Shannon Watts

Activist and author Shannon Watts has an important message for women - it is not too late — and you are not too old! — to go after what you really want.

The founder of Moms Demand Action is back on the pod with Sophia to chat about the inspiration and message behind her new book, "Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age." Shannon opens up about the turning point in her life, the phone call from Maria Shriver that led to her new book, and the inspirational stories from women living their most authentic lives.

Plus, real talk from Sophia and Shannon about living with ADHD, Michelle Obama's parenting advice, and the importance of practicing hope . . . especially through the next four years.

"Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age" will be available for purchase on June 17.
