Where we come from has everything to do with who we are. And that’s the phenomenon we’ll explore in season 2 of In Progress, as host Aurora James, founder of Brother Vellies, takes listeners on a candid, intimate journey with standout entrepreneurs and thought leaders. Luminaries like Melanie Elturk, Patty Rodriguez, Anine Bing explore how their origin stories and formative cultural experiences have shaped and continue to shape their careers—for better or worse. Presented in partnership with TUMI, In Progress offers up an inspirational and actionable roadmap to owning our personal narratives and living fully in our present selves.

Hi. I’m Jen Gotch and this is my podcast. It’s kinda weird, and original, and funny and honest just like me. Each week I’m gonna get in your ear, tell you about my fears, my pain, my triumphs and hopefully in the process help you become more self aware, build your own emotional intelligence and more than anything else FEEL LESS ALONE. Please subscribe and leave a nice review with all the stars; my parents are checking them every day and I really don’t want to let them down.

#LIPSTORIES S2 - Sophia Amoruso (Live from SEPHORiA)

Throughout Season 2 of #LIPSTORIES, we’ve shared stories from a remarkable guest lineup made up of today’s leading beauty and fashion influencers and some inspiring thought leaders.

Tune in for this special, bonus episode, recorded in front of a live audience at SEPHORiA, to hear an unfiltered conversation between Sophia and Kristina Zias, the host of Season 2 of #LIPSTORIES. Sophia and Kristina discuss their favorite (and not-so-fave) beauty looks over the years, their go-to products and why looking and feeling confident are two different things. Plus, hear Sophia’s thoughts on how she’s embraced change over the years, both on the inside and outside.

Here, we serve our hearts. We rant. We grow. And we tune the eff up. #SelfServicePodcast
