Late to the Party with Sophie Ragir

Cue: "Let's Talk About Sex" by Salt N Pepa. This week we're joined by the wonderful Michaela d'Artois - certified sexologist, intimacy coach, and glorious human. Michaela and I gabbed for so long, this is our first ever two-part conversation! We talk about her career pivot into sexology and how every weird job, side project, and skill she ever had alchemized to land her exactly where she was suppo...

This week's episode with Kacie Carter Chamberlayne is the kind of conversation I dreamed of having when I launched this podcast. I am — and I cannot stress this enough — obsessed with this convo, and have been referencing it IRL ever since we recorded. Kacie is the host of I Can Only Speak for Myself , founder of the beloved LA restaurant Honey Hi, and one of my favorite humans to talk to about th...

This week we're joined by Sutanya Dacres — author, podcast host, and founder/IRL host of Dinner for One, a home for single women to experience, celebrate, and redefine solo living. We recorded this in Paris on a beautiful spring evening and talk about what it actually takes to build something over ten years, the shame that dissolves when we share our stories, and what the coming apart of something...

This week we're joined by the ever so chic Clark Moore — writer, actor, author of the Substack Wist , and newly minted Parisian. We talk about taking the long way (and why the hard path isn't always the noble one), what it means to be an artist whether you're working or not, the grenade moment that blew Clark's life wide open, and why it is so much harder to live an unfulfilling life than it is to...

Today we're joined by the queen of questions Danielle Robay. Danielle is the host and co-executive producer (alongside Reese Witherspoon) of Bookmarked from Hello Sunshine, as well as the host of her podcast QUESTION EVERYTHING. She's interviewed some of our greatest icons (think Taylor Swift, Mark Cuban, Viola Davis, Dolly Parton, Tom Hanks, Serena Williams, Diane Von Furstenberg, Gloria Steinem....

It's our first pod from Paris! This week we're joined by Gabrielle Pedriani, publicist, podcaster, writer and "Leo" who is one of my favorite people to yap with about just about anything. We talk about why we need to celebrate different "points of arrival," how we make decisions, confidence and nuance, decentering men without cutting them out, leaning back, and how to carve new neural pathways in...

This week we're joined by Mollie Farrell Snowden — somatic practioner, nervous system educator, and integrative healer. We talk about what it actually takes to leave careers that look very good on paper, why feeling safe in our bodies allows us to navigate an uncomfortable world, the courage to own what you're good at (maybe even great at) and say what you believe out loud, and how the things that...

Today we're joined by one of the coolest humans I know, Shauna Nep. She's an exceptional philanthropic advisor and executive director who's worked with some of your favorite artists, musicians, activists, and leaders. Basically, she's very, VERY good at her job. And still, this conversation is about everything that doesn't show up on paper. We talk about identity, boundaries, perfectionism, mother...

Today we're joined by Anna Malaika Tubbs, 2x New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and PhD. We talk about the importance of sharing your ideas and what it means to build a better world while still making space for people who may be "late to the party" in believing what we believe. A big part of this conversation is about growth and grace. How do we hold strong values while also allowing peop...

Episode 2 babyyyy! I'm joined by Stevie Nelson - artist, actress, photographer, dog lover, and one of my nearest and dearest. We talk creativity, dating, adult friendships, and why treating things less preciously might be the secret to making more of what you want in life. Stevie talks about how wanting to have a nice time is actually a priority for her, and this conversation felt like a reminder...

It's our first episode! I wanted to start  Late to the Party with a conversation that dismantles the idea that anyone is actually late. I sat down with writer and longtime podcaster Katie Dalebout, who did so many of the things people think you're supposed to do "early" - built a platform, wrote a book, created a career - and still finds herself in transition and figuring things out. We talk about...

Welcome to the party! Late to the Party is for anyone who feels a little behind in love, work, or life, or is growing into something new. Hosted by coach and writer Sophie Ragir, the show features candid, funny, deeply human conversations about career pivots, dating later, grief, identity shifts, and the strange, beautiful process of starting over. Some weeks center on personal reinvention, and ot...
