Coming to you late at night in my PJs after a week of busy, beautiful chaos, I’ve been reflecting on how busy seasons don’t have to be a bad thing. Sometimes, they’re exactly what remind us why we do what we do. This week has been one of those weeks—the kind that’s exhausting but also full of meaning, connection, and purpose.
In this episode, I’m sharing a snapshot of my week, from holiday performances and birthday celebrations to juggling sick kids and parent club responsibilities. I’m diving into how these moments, while overwhelming, are also what make life feel full and fulfilling. We’ll talk about shifting our perspective on busyness, finding joy in the chaos, and embracing these seasons without guilt.
If you’re in the thick of it too, this episode is for you—because busy can be beautiful.

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.
