Today, I would like to talk with you about Overcoming Setbacks
Are you experiencing a setback in your life?  Is your path to improving yourself and life not taking a straight line to your goals and hopes?

Setbacks in your process of improving yourself and making some changes in your life are not uncommon. They also pop up when you feel your life is doing just fine.  Setbacks can be big or small challenges, and they can become potential obstacles. How we handle and react to them can be quite telling. I will help you break through the disappointments of setbacks today.
 
Today you will learn:
1. What to do to overcome setbacks in your life
2. Why do some of us get stuck when a setback occurs
3. Our reactions and stories we develop about our setback is key
4. A motivational hack you will not forget when handling setbacks

Boysober

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.
