Friends, the Trump administration and its backers in Congress are messing around with our health care. They have already passed a law supposedly defunding Planned Parenthood, which blocks Medicaid patients from getting life-saving care like cancer screenings, wellness exams, birth control, STI treatment, and more. And now these lawmakers want to shut down health centers by defunding Planned Parenthood permanently. Our communities deserve better. To learn how you can get involved, text the word UPDATE to 22422.

Welcome back to Work in Progress, friends. Today we are joined by a woman I adore so much who I've also been lucky enough to call a co-star. She is an exceptional co-worker. She is the sort of woman who mentors all of us through her example. And she also happens to be someone I've looked up to literally my entire life. Today, we are joined by the icon, Brooke Shields. Brooke has spent her entire life in the public eye, from being a child movie star to a model to a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and now wearing her latest hat as the executive producer of Acorn TV's breakout mystery series, You're Killing Me, she is someone who has continually redefined herself and reclaimed

herself. And I am just in awe of the woman that she is. Whether she's talking about motherhood, aging, mental health, work, deep reflection, or being the absolute funniest person in the room, she is in an era where she seems less interested in meeting other people's expectations and perhaps more interested in living according to her own values. I am fascinated by a life led by someone.

who's been looked at her whole life, who's finally deciding how she wants to be seen. So let's dive in today with our dear friend, Brooke Shields. Oh, well, I'm just so excited for all the things for you. I'm loving the new show. I have a million things I want to ask you about. pay. Before we jump into the present, which is so full and so gorgeous, I am really curious, especially for you, because you have, I mean, you've been famous your whole life. You know, when you did, you were 11 when you booked Pretty Baby. You've done this incredible act, I think, of love for women and of mothering so many of us in your community in addition to your beautiful daughters by reflecting and sharing in the books you've written and the conversations you've had with us and for us out on these stages, I think, have made us all feel so seen. And I'm really curious for you now, not just in terms of your advocacy as a woman in the public eye, but for you, Brooke, if you got to walk out in the backyard and encounter yourself at nine or 10 years old, what would it feel like to see yourself now with all your wisdom and all your experience? Do you think that little girl would see herself in you? Would you see who you

are now in her? I think I would see who I am now in her. I don't know if she would see herself in me because I think, you know, being that young and sort of like exposed and commented on and in the public eye and fighting for your friendships and school and being lucky, actually, that I lived in New York and my mom was, you know, very adamant about my going to real schools and not moving out to, you know, get a high school equivalency test and be a kid actress. I think that helped. But I think I was so desiring of being liked and I just didn't know that I was enough. And I don't know if you're supposed to know that at that age. I mean, I try to instill that in my children from when they were younger to sort of say like, be you, you are more than you even know, but I want you to know it. And I want you to feel confident. And it's hard. But if you surround yourself by good people, I had my mom, which was really lucky. but and I had friends that were none of them were actresses and I think that those types of grounding forces helped me navigate not losing myself entirely but I don't think I would have had the confidence to say like oh that you're gonna be you're gonna have longevity and you're gonna be this and you're gonna be looked at like this I think I would have been I probably wouldn't

have believed in. That's so cool. You know, you talk about your mom being part of that grounding for you. And now as a mom, when you look back at your early career, do you think you understand things differently about your relationship with her and how those things have informed your own

vibe as a mom? I think I've taken actually a lot. You know, I, in one of my, in, there was a little girl, I, one of the first lines in the book is, you know, we spend our lives either running away from or running towards our mothers, you know, and, and like even the most decorated of soldiers on their deathbed will yell for their mommy. Do you know what I mean? There's such a profound, profound connection between children and their mothers but I think mothers and daughters as well I don't that's my perspective but I think I took so much more from her than than less her sense of humor her work ethic her her joy her appreciation of of everything that was that is given to you or afforded you or and friends and I think that I that she was actually for as broken scarred alcoholic scared as she was she had such deep love and I really purely felt loved and I think that that is and I didn't feel

judged because I was being judged by the world, she sort of said, you know, you're on this, like you are everything, you know, and there is something to be said for that, for children to think that their mother thinks they're the best in the entire universe, you know, and I think that that's what I try to, and I have two girls, which is weird because they're constantly saying, well I'm her favorite well no I am and you're like who do you who do you love more and you're

like there's no such thing yeah yeah you're like depending on how you act one of you will be my

favorite on any given day yeah exactly so you better behave that is so funny and now a word

from our sponsors who make this show possible this is for those who experience allergic reactions from food, medicine, insects, or other allergy triggers, about 60% of patients do not consistently carry their epinephrine needle injectors, which scares me. And that's why I wanted to tell you all about our new friends at Neffy. Neffy is the only needle-free epinephrine nasal spray for those who weigh 33 pounds or more. It's used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which is a big deal. Neffy works as well as a needle injector and it's designed to be safe and easy to use at the first sign of symptoms. So in a high stress moment, you can quickly treat an allergic reaction. Neffy is also small and discreet, so it's easier to carry as part of your everyday routine. That way you always have it with you if the unexpected happens. You can pay as little as $0 for at least four Neffy devices two packs, through the Copay Savings Program with commercial insurance if eligible. Patients should not pay more than $199 for Neffy. If you have medical conditions or take certain medicines, your condition may worsen, so tell your doctor about nasal, heart, thyroid, or kidney issues, high blood pressure, Parkinson's, diabetes, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and all medications you take. Side effects include nasal discomfort, headache, runny nose, shakiness, and throat irritation. These are not all side effects. Before you get a new epinephrine prescription or refill, ask a doctor about needle-free Neffy today. Visit neffy.com, that's N-E-F-F-Y.com, or call 1-877-MY-NEFFY to learn more.

paid for by Genentech and Novartis. Everyone deserves access to high quality, affordable health care no matter what. And that's why millions of people rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for services like cancer screenings, wellness exams, birth control, STI tests, and much more. In fact, one in three women in the US have been to Planned Parenthood for care. So it kind of blows my mind that lawmakers are trying to permanently shut them down. They already passed a law that blocks patients that use Medicaid from getting the affordable preventative care that they need. And now they want to make that law permanent. Guys, nobody benefits when people are getting fewer exams, paying more for care, or just skipping the health care they need altogether. And we know that is happening. Planned Parenthood health centers have reported that fewer patients are getting basic care like breast exams and STI tests since the Trump administration and their backers defunded Planned Parenthood. This is not okay. Patients shouldn't suffer because of their laws. Our communities all deserve better.

You know, it's so interesting to think about what you're able to hold, right? And I think that's such a marker of healthy evolution in life when you can hold the good and the bad and give grace to all of it. And you speak about

your mother in that way, in a way that I think is so honest and also so generous. And I wonder if the desire to do that, do you think it was added to? I think it's a natural thing, right? You want to process your life and be okay with all of it and do the work and be a healthy person. But I think about it for you because for so long, you had so many other people's opinions, and all those opinions were ordered in whatever way each of those people thought about them projected onto you like beauty and innocence and controversy and being sexualized or not being sexualized and glamour and fame and like all these things that that you had to meet when you were also meeting people and do you think that knowing how you had to do the work to take all that stuff apart and then and then be able to hold it all do you think that also made you in a way like so much better at doing the personal stuff too because you were like oh no I know how to do this I know how to analyze the landscape of something and figure out

where I fit in the middle of it I think that's a very astute way of looking at it because I think I was doing that before I knew I was doing it right so you know you you read a room right you just you go you know it's like a heat sinking missile and you and you and you feel behind you and you're and you're just like and you're you're taking the temperature all the time right so just to be able to and and I'm I'm proud of being able to navigate that and do that and I learned it at such a young age that in my like when I went to school or in my personal life it made it you know I watched other kids, you know, my age sort of fight through it all and flounder or get their feelings hurt.

or, you know, and I would think like, oh, I don't waste the time anymore. You know what I mean? I don't, and I don't feel obligated. It's like to have to be part of that group or this, or if somebody doesn't call me back, what did I do? What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? You know, and I would watch that sort of angst in other students. And I would think like, oh, all of this past, this history, this navigation, this adult world, actually gave me a certain presence and power in really being able to enjoy this and meet people where they are, not where I want them to be, right? And that's very freeing because then you can genuinely like someone and if you don't or they don't like you, it's okay. You know, it's not the end of the world And I think that being surrounded and having to be a professional and operating and watching adults act like children, you know, and bad behavior. And you think, oh, my God, don't they see how they're coming across? Why is that okay? And I don't want to be that. And it, you know, and it allowed me to understand what I didn't want and who I didn't want to be. Right. You know, what I didn't want, what I wanted to reveal and what I hoped to nurture in myself, because you can go any direction if you think about it, you know, and I, I remember thinking, no, I don't, I want to be the best of myself and I want to be a good person and I want good people in my life that are there for, I mean, you know, I, in my 60th year, I, all of my different groups of friends, like my high school buddies, my college buddies like my work buddies individually but in in their kind of groups and they don't know each other instead of having like a big party with everybody which would have just made me so uncomfortable we did specific things and in each sort of clump you know of of gals we all mentioned like I just got a text this morning from one of one of the girls and said it's amazing how long we've been friends and I always feel the best me when I'm around you guys and it because there's such there's such deep connection in years and and we've been through so much together but like there's something so comforting about having long-term friends and I think that at a very early age partially because my mother again wouldn't let me just give school up and and just work I was able to have quote-unquote normal friendships you know yeah

and they're still around today and it's it's such a great feeling to be able to say wow I've got these quality friends and we've known each other over 40 years yeah oh I love that so much I I have

a group like that my my three closest friends from high school and I and it it is so special

Not everybody has it. It's like you talk to people and they're like, you're still friends with them.

I know. And I feel so lucky, especially because not everybody is. We had so many people's friendships fractured. But there is this little group of us that started going to school together in the seventh grade. And we have just, like, been on this ride together for so long. And it's so special. And interestingly enough, you know, we have deeper friendships we've all made in our adulthood, you know, where you find your people that are so much like you and that care about all the same things you care about and whatever. And still, like, one of the girlfriends of the four of us, like, we literally could not be more different people. And we just cackle. Like when we talk about shit and we realize we are like, I am day and she is night or vice versa, we just laugh because we're obsessed with each other. And it's so, I don't know, there's something so special about it, about all of it. And I don't know, it must be really surreal. You know, you were talking about your kids' friends all being over the other day. it must be so crazy to watch your daughters take that whole journey you know you have these babies and they they grow and and you watch them go through middle school and high school and college and like it is it so surreal because you've been a woman who's chosen to be so self-reflective and to do the work and also share the work with people to then watch your kids do it it's like I feel like you are the wise woman because you've taken inventory of your life in this direction and then you've raised lives in this direction and like do you just go whoa when you look at your kids wild because they're not me

right so that's already wild you're like oh you're a person i didn't plan that right you know and and there's they're so different they are they're they are night and day and but then you've watched like the first time I visited my daughter in college my older one and she had inside jokes with people I'd never met and nicknames and they you know kind of came up and run up and tackled her or you know gave her a hard time about something and I was just like what how do you know my daughter what what do you mean I what you're so not a part of it it's really hard to not want to make it about you and separate and and just let it happen because you don't know who you are anymore right you're not really mom in the same way and they're they have these relationships and they're growing up and you you're not needed in the same way which by the means you did your job, but it must be so hard. You're like, oh no, no, I did not bargain for this. I know I wanted you to be our own person, independent, blah, blah, blah, but not that independent. I didn't want you to have friends. And you're just kind of, you know, and then you bring in boyfriends and there's an intimacy there that you're really excluded from. And you're just like oh oh god if i want to put you back in um that is so funny and it's but then another interesting thing happens as they get to become more women they as they're evolving into these more fully flushed and continually continuing to evolve women we had a big big dinner for uh for the television show as like a like a mystery murder mystery dinner and it was this beautiful party and seated dinner and it was he was amazing and it was like I felt so celebrated but it was and you know that's not usually comfortable for me but there were people that I had known for so many years and I hadn't seen so many of them and they all came out to I mean to drive to you know East Hampton and do this, you know, it's just, I couldn't believe the effort people made, but my girls were sitting there and, you know, you play this game and I had never done it before. They were the most vibrant, hysterically funny women who were laughing. And, you know, every time a clue would happen, one of them would go, oh, like that. And it was like, they weren't trying to pull attention or be theatrical they were just present and joyful and they were just so um in the in their skin and they were funny and I watched you know there were like a lot of famous

people too like that they would recognize and I watched those people look at these girls and there were three of them one of I call my third daughter their best friend from from grade school and still graduated college and they're still best friends and it's so lovely to see and I watched them being watched by other people with like, they were laughing with them and at them in the best way and they were engaged and engaging and you don't get to see that that often And then there was a really beautiful toast made and it was, you know, and the CEO of AMC Global Media was there. And so it was kind of very business for me. And, you know, I said, this is my boss. And I said to my daughter, and I watched my daughters hear things about me that, you know, I can't say, you know what I mean? And I could see them be proud and also, like, okay, yeah, mom's, like, she does a lot. Like, she's okay. She's good. Like, they looked up to me in a way, and then they just took off. Like, they ended up winning the whole game. And it was, like, there was, like, 40 people at this thing, and people were taking it very seriously. and they won and then one of the other news people was like but Rowan we got it too and Rowan was like

like, okay, you know what, good luck. But it was like, it was just really nice. So it's very surreal. But when they want to be around you, and they say like, mom, can we, you know, will you come out with us? Or will you, will you do this with us? And when they're not ashamed of their mommy, you know, it's, it does come back around kind of, and you start to sort of, you know, have a cocktail with your daughters. And it's weird, but it's, it's lovely, you know, And it feels good and it feels wonderful that they still enjoy being around me when they want to be.

Yeah, I love that. And now a word from our sponsors.

Picture this, a curve in the road, a change in plans. Well, what do you say? With the all new Audi Q3, the answer is always yes. Yes to adventure. Yes to escape. yes to performance yes to comfort yes to right now because saying yes without hesitation that's real luxury the all-new audi q3 made for the yes life this is for those who experience

I can't wait to send this episode to my mom because I, we've been through our own version of, I think that complicated thing when you're, you did raise smart, independent women and they go out in their independent world and it's hard and there was a period where I was doing the same and it was I know it was tough for my mom and also it was necessary for my life and we are in this place now where yes she's my parent and I'm her daughter but also we're more friends like we're peers. You know, I'm an adult. She's an adult. And whenever I'm home on the West coast, we go to the flea market together every weekend. And my mom comes with me and all my friends and my friends are like, mom's coming, you know, and it's this cool thing. And my mom is back in the space where she was, Oh my God, we have to, but like my mom's back in the space that she was in when I was, you know, 13, 14, 15, 16, where she was always the mom all my friends wanted to hang out with. She was the one my friends wanted to ask advice of, which I just know is exactly you. And now she's kind of like, mom gets invited again to the stuff. And it's so fun and it's so sweet. And I don't know, it makes me really nostalgic for her to hear you talking about the stage you're in and the journey with your girls. And it's a trip because it makes me realize how long I've known you. I will never forget, you said something when your kids were little that really solidified like this thing I talk about a lot now, which is everyone wants to cartoonify motherhood. And I think it does such a disservice to moms. And I will never forget. It's like, it's the most magical thing you've ever done. And it's also the hardest. And anyone who says it's not hard is a traitor. And like you said a thing forever ago. Somebody said like, when did it, you know, when did you really know you were a mom and you were talking about having one of the babies like up in the air and that one of them, when you had them up laughing, threw up in your mouth and you had to be like, okay, I can't drop the baby. I have to hold this in my mouth. I have to get the baby, you know, settled and then go clean myself up.

And it has stayed with me for so long. And there was like-

I traumatized you.

No, I just was like, no one's ever said it out loud and I'll never forget it. It was like an SNL skit that makes an impact, but I read it. And I will never forget, you know, I don't know, what is it, like a year or two years ago, like a stomach bug's going around pre-K. And I am, you know, holding Ash's, our precious little boy, who's like my favorite little boy literally on the planet. and I got thrown up on in such a way that was like in my mouth, in my eyes, in my hair, down my shirt, just so, and I was like, okay, here we go. Like I have to, it's okay. Don't be scared. You're okay. Like, and what do I do? And how do I manage this moment? And I thought about you and I was like, it's official. It's official. Like, that's the thing. And you've shared, like, the funny things and the real things. And, you know, you talked about postpartum before anybody would. And, like, you, I don't know, you've just been so generous with us for so long in ways that I think make women feel seen. And so in all the years I've known you, like, over and over again, you do that for me.

Oh, gosh, thank you. It's so cool. I've always looked up to you and I've always really loved your brain and loved the way you treat people and obviously your talent, that just goes without saying, but your intellect and your willingness to just, but really your willingness to sort of have convictions and speak them and and and enter in debate and and conversation and and to me like that's just such a beautiful thing in

be a mom and have that, you know what I mean? And be a friend and be a wife and be a partner and be, you know, a colleague and all of those things that you represent is such a beautiful image for women in particular to own all of the complexities of being a woman. Do you know what I mean? The, yes, the beauty, but the intellect, but the sex appeal, but the strength and the vulnerability. And all of that is what makes a woman. Do you know what I mean? And to be not afraid to reveal it. And I mean, I, I feel like I, the second I met you, I was like, oh, yeah, I was like, and then you compounded it by having the white tattoo. And I was like, oh God, never going to be this cool. And I was just like, you know, that, that type of model as a female is really is and you share it too and i'm i'm proud to say that you're my friend you know

oh i just love you you sweet soul i am enjoying this conversation so much join us for part two so we can ask brooke all the questions we have about her breakout series you're killing me on acorn tv see you for part two everyone deserves access to high quality affordable health care no matter what and that's why millions of people rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for services like cancer screenings wellness exams birth control STI tests and much more in fact one in three women in the U.S. have been to Planned Parenthood for care. So it kind of blows my mind that lawmakers are trying to permanently shut them down. They already passed a law that blocks patients that use Medicaid from getting the affordable preventative care that they need. And now they want to make that law permanent. Guys, nobody benefits when people are getting fewer exams, paying more for care, or just skipping the health care they need altogether, and we know that is happening. Planned Parenthood health centers have reported that fewer patients are getting basic care, like breast exams and STI tests, since the Trump administration and their backers defunded Planned Parenthood. This is not okay. Patients shouldn't suffer because of their laws. Our communities all deserve better. To get involved, text the word UPDATE to 22422.
