Death isn’t just an ending; it’s a teacher. It reminds us of what matters, forces us to face the truth, and—if we let it—can guide us to live with more purpose, presence, and clarity.
In this episode, we’re not going to whisper around the subject. We’re going to sit with it, look it in the eye, and ask: What can death teach us about life? How do we prepare for it—not just logistically, but emotionally? And when we lose someone, how do we carry forward with love instead of fear?
We’ll also tackle a listener question about a friend in the hospital after a serious motorcycle accident and the fear and anger that come with facing that reality.
Death is inevitable—but ignoring it doesn’t make it less so. So, let’s talk about it, plan for it, and maybe even make peace with it. Because when we do, life becomes that much more meaningful.
The love is real and the man is real - we talk about it all. The good. The bad. The Dad.

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.
