The Patterns of Power family is excited to be back! In this episode, Travis Leech and Whitney La Rocca share a favorite "In the Classroom" strategy: using a read-aloud from the text where we've curated a lesson's model sentence to build background knowledge and engagement before starting a Patterns of Power lesson.

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.
