Work in Progress: Gwen Walz

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Minnesota's First Lady and the wife of VP Nominee Tim Walz is hitting the ground running with an important message - get to the ballot box and VOTE!

Gwen Walz joins Sophia to discuss the critical issues at stake this election, including a top voter concern that’s also incredibly personal to her and Sophia: reproductive freedom. Gwen also shares why and how Tim got involved in politics after returning from his military deployment, how they kept their infertility story to themselves for 20 years, and why they decided to go public with it in hopes to support other families.

Plus, Gwen reveals who she turns to for advice, lessons learned as a teacher (and why she thinks Sophia would make a great professor!) and her own work in progress.
