Lea Thompson: It’s the doing that matters

Laura sits down with actress, director, and television producer Lea Thompson to talk about Lea’s experiences as a working artist — from her early days as a dancer to her work as an actress, director, and producer. In this warm and personal discussion, they explore how Lea learned to navigate sexism on her own set, the dangers of perfectionism, the joy of creating something from scratch, and celebrating the profound ways that motherhood makes us stronger, more effective versions of ourselves.
