Episode Summary:

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this solo episode, I share a powerful message to set the tone for your year with ease, pleasure, and self-care. Black women are often taught to prioritize productivity over their own well-being, but this year, we're flipping the script. Let's unlearn those harmful patterns together and embrace a life filled with alignment and joy.

I’ll walk you through three actionable steps to help you reclaim your energy, prioritize yourself, and infuse your days with fun and rest. If you’ve been feeling burnt out or stuck, this episode is exactly what you need to shift into a more pleasurable, intentional year.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  1. Why minding your business is the ultimate form of self-care and how to set boundaries with energy-draining people and situations.
  2. The importance of scheduling time for yourself and actionable ideas to make fun and rest a priority.
  3. How to reconnect with your desires and create a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mind Your Business: Protect your mental energy by limiting your involvement in gossip, drama, and other people’s problems. Set clear boundaries and turn inward to focus on your growth and healing.
  • Schedule Time for Yourself: Don’t leave your downtime to chance. Block out non-negotiable rest days, spa visits, solo dates, and more on your calendar now.
  • Reclaim Your Desires: Spend time exploring what brings you joy, makes you laugh, and fills your cup. This is how you thrive, not just survive.

Action Step for This Week:

Before you dive into your day, take 10 minutes to pull out your calendar and schedule something fun just for you. Whether it’s a spa day, a long bath, or a solo adventure, make yourself a priority.

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.
