The Work in Progress is a podcast about the moments that shape us. The struggles, the breaking points, and the slow or sudden shifts that change everything. Hosted by John Ragno, LMHC, LPC, each episode is a real conversation with someone who has turned pain into purpose, challenge into growth, or loss into something meaningful. This isn't a highlight reel. It's the honest version. What it actually felt like, what had to change, and what they're still figuring out. Guests come from all walks of life: athletes, first responders, professionals, and everyday people who've done the hard work of showing up differently. The name isn't an accident. We're all a work in progress. The point isn't to have arrived. It's to be honest about the journey.
