Remember the 80s movie, “Romancing the Stone” with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner?
Today I’m sharing how a scene from that film provides a vivid metaphor for the process of change. I explore the challenge of breaking away from patterned thoughts and behaviors, likening it to Michael Douglas's character, Jack, when he was hacking through a jungle in a storm with his machete. Understanding this visual can offer perspective and compassion when you’re struggling with change.
What You'll Learn:
- The significance of neural pathways and their role in shaping our behaviors.
- Why breaking away from familiar patterns can feel as challenging as carving a path with a machete through a dense jungle.
- How intuition plays a vital role in navigating change.
- The importance of compassion for yourself and others when facing the difficulties of transformation.

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.
