Late to the Party with Sophie Ragir
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 (her divorce) gave her — in love, in life, and in learning to take care of herself. Plus dreaming big without a clue how it's gonna happen, stopping waiting for permission, and what it means to...

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 change it. Plus narratives we inherit that don't serve us, coming out of hibernation, our shared love of Joan Didion, Nora Ephron and Maggie Nelson, and why "stop hedging" might be the best advice...

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 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...) and gathered so much wisdom along the way, which she shares with us on today's episode. We talk about the power of meeting our criticism with curiosity, how to hear the whispers that are guiding you, why failure is...

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 order to feel more free. Plus cringe, flirting with the world, and why nobody has anything figured it out. I have so much FUN with Gabby out in the world his conversation felt so fun....

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 initially repelled us ended up being part of what we're here to do. You’ll hear more about the coaching work we both do, why we believe in it, and what it took for each of us to get here....

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, motherhood, and the ever so daunting process of learning to care less about what people think of you. This was the first episode I ever recorded on my couch, and I couldn’t love it (or Shauna)...

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 people the room to learn, evolve, and arrive at new understanding in their own time? How do we invite people into change rather than shame them for not already being there? Anna, who is...

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 of why that matters. I love this episode so much and hope you giggle and learn as much from her as I do. Follow Stevie: IG: @iamstevienelson TikTok: @iamstevienelson website: buy...

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 timelines, perfectionism, ambition, grief, relationships, and that the whole idea of being early or late is actually a myth. This episode is proof that timelines are BS and you're...

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 others widen into conversations about relationships, culture, and the world. At its core, it’s just a space for good conversations with cool humans about being alive. If you’ve ever wondered whether...
