It’s been five years since a life-changing moment in the emergency room, which sparked my journey of self-reflection and self-discovery. Looking back on these past five years, I’m in awe of how much I’ve grown—and how much I’ve learned along the way.
The journey hasn’t been without its challenges, setbacks, and realignments, but through it all, I’ve come out stronger, wiser, and ready for what's next. This reflection reminded me of the current viral trend of “meeting your younger self for coffee,” and as I reflect on various seasons of growth, today I'm sharing an intimate conversation with a version of myself from almost 15 years ago during some of my darkest days.
As I wrap up this episode, I’m also taking a short break to reset and recharge, so I can come back even more focused and energized to bring you the next phase of this journey. But don't worry—I'll be back soon, ready to dive into everything that's coming next!
So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and join me for this heart-to-heart with my younger self, reflecting on how far we've come and what lies ahead. And don’t forget to stay tuned—I’ll be back with even bigger things to come!

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.
