In this episode, we dive into the powerful paradox of growth: to become who we’re meant to be, we often first have to feel small. It's an uncomfortable place, yet it's here that we start to see the walls we’ve built around ourselves. When we understand just how vast life is—like standing before the Grand Canyon or staring up at a stormy sky—it puts our problems and self-imposed limits into perspective. Recognizing our insignificance isn't a setback; it's freedom. It takes the pressure off and makes room for us to move forward fearlessly.
Life offers endless opportunities and abundance, yet so often we fall into patterns of avoiding risk and playing small. When we understand that we’re just "raindrops in a thunderstorm," we can finally let go of our need to control every outcome. That understanding sets us free, emboldens us, and opens us up to living authentically. It’s not about diminishing our value but, instead, realizing that letting go of our inner constraints is what allows us to be truly powerful.

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.
