In today's episode, I'm talking about reflexes, ropes, and rewiring your response. I'm sharing a sweet story about my son, his little sister, and the rope that led to him unintentionally tripping her (she's fine, and they both laughed about it after!) to demonstrate how your nervous system works.
When you've been through hardship, trauma, or even the slow drip of stress, your body just learns how to survive. And when those survival patterns are repeated enough, they become second nature, just like roping.
But you have to stay stuck in those patterns. I invite you to join The Draw, my brand new private podcast that is inner work on YOUR terms, so you can get through hard seasons without burning out or blowing up.
In this episode, I cover:
- An exciting announcement that will allow you to go deeper into your inner work
- A lighthearted story about my son, his ever-present rope & the power of muscle memory
- Why your nervous system leans on old reflexes + how it’s really trying to keep you safe
- The healing that comes when you notice old patterns without shame and begin building new ones rooted in safety, trust & connection

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.
