Emotional Games: Are You Playing the Junior Version?
Ever found yourself slamming a door, huffing and puffing, hoping someone just gets it? That used to be me—stuck in what I now call the junior version of emotional awareness. In this episode of Worthy of Work, I unpack the messy, reactive emotional habits I had to outgrow—and the adult upgrade that changed everything.
We’ll cover:
🔹 What emotional charades looks like in real life
🔹 Why emotional awareness is a learned skill, not a personality trait
🔹 How naming your emotion (instead of acting it out) leads to real connection
🔹 The simple but not-easy shift that’s helped me communicate without chaos
If emotional maturity is something you thought you had but life keeps proving otherwise, this one’s for you.
🎯 Keywords: emotional intelligence, emotional maturity, relationship recovery, communication skills, boundaries, codependency, self-awareness

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.
