Today’s episode is all about the power of saying 'no' and setting personal boundaries. I explore how the fear of being seen as rude or unlikable, coupled with societal expectations of compliance and people-pleasing, can result in chronic over-commitment and burnout. I detail practical advice on how to navigate this saying no: this includes taking time to reflect before responding, being aware of one's feelings and thoughts when asked to do something, and being brave enough to decline when necessary. I highlight the importance of these skills in preserving personal wellbeing and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

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.
