What do you do when life, as you know it, shatters in an instant?

In this episode, Holly speaks with Ed and Lois Jackson and explores the profound and life-altering journey that they have been on. Once living a dream life filled with athletic success and endless opportunities, their world was turned upside down when Ed, a former professional rugby player, suffered a catastrophic accident that left him paralyzed.


What followed was not only a physical battle to defy the odds and regain movement but a mental and emotional transformation for both Ed and Lois. Together, they’ve faced the unimaginable, and through grit, resilience, and love, they've found a new purpose, helping others overcome adversity and reframe their mental health in the process.


This is a raw, inspiring story of how Ed and Lois have turned a tragedy into a mission to uplift, empower, and show that even in our darkest moments, there is light, hope, and a way forward. This conversation will challenge you to rethink what it means to face hardship and how when life doesn’t go as planned, we are truly capable of much more than we know.

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.
