S.T.R.O.L.L.

S.T.R.O.L.L. is simple. Solving The Rebus of Living Life. The idea is to bring people on from all walks of life to talk about life from their perspective. A rebus is a puzzle. Words, pictures and symbols that all spell out something. I want to hear people's stories and tap into the triumphs and setbacks that shaped each individual to be where they are now. I'll learn something. You'll learn something. We are pieces of the puzzle. We all matter when it comes to the big picture. Let's take this journey together. Let's get our S.T.R.O.L.L. on. New episodes every Tuesday.

That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating.
