If you’ve been wondering why you can’t stop snapping, crying, numbing out, or spiraling into shame — this episode is for you.
Because it’s not that you’re lazy or broken or too emotional.
You’re stuck in a chronic stress response. Your body is doing exactly what it was trained to do: survive.
In this episode I break down what chronic stress really looks like (hint: it’s not just about being “busy”), how your brain rewires around it, why your coping patterns feel impossible to break, and what to do to finally feel safe enough to breathe again.
We’ll talk stress, habits, nervous system regulation, and how to gently come back to the version of you that’s been buried under the pressure.
This is how healing starts.
Come listen.

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.
