In this episode, hosts Paola Rodriguez (she/her) and Tanvi Mahajani (she/her) delve into what inclusive language is and why it's so important for autistic advocacy! For any allistic folks out there, this episode serves as an introduction to what autism is, but for any autistic listeners or allies, it's more of a refresher/conversation starter. We believe that discussing inclusive language is so important to set the stage for inclusivity in conversations beyond, so we wanted to cover this topic first. We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, comments, or concerns!
Produced by: Jayasree Peri (she/her)

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
