This week, I reflect on my experience at the Power of X Summit (a Women's Health conference) and finally open up about a medication called Lupron (which medically induces a temporary menopause). I share how it impacted me, what I wish I knew, and the surprising connection it gave me to women navigating menopause.
I also talk about reframing stress and self-talk, resisting inner spirals (hello, Black Swan vs. White Swan), and the power of calling a friend. Plus, a small-but-big shift: I bought bigger pants—and stopped body-shaming myself—so I could focus on the actual bigger issues at hand: like moving women’s health toward a more equitable future.
And finally, I start a new ritual: one affirmation card to guide the week. 💛

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.
