Ever feel like boredom is a thing of the past? In this episode, we dive into The Lost Art of Being Bored…why stillness feels so uncomfortable, how our brains are hooked on dopamine, and what happens when we stop filling every moment with noise.
Jessa opens the episode by sharing the unexpected life lessons from raising two mice for a high school science project (yes, really), while Amanda shares her own experience with a micro dopamine detox from cutting coffee. Together, we unpack how boredom might just be the secret to actually knowing yourself. Because in a world of endless distraction and stimulation, maybe doing nothing is the most radical thing you can do.

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.
