About Janet: "A Massachusetts native, Janet admired the flora and fauna of her suburban surrounds from an early age. A seventh grade teacher inspired her interest in life sciences, which she has pursued in a variety of ways over the past several decades. She has a Medical Degree, and practiced psychiatry for about 10 years before leaving to raise her children full-time. In 2004, she launched Animal Trackers of New England (formerly Nashaway Trackers), a group of wildlife enthusiasts who tracked for fun, and occasionally provided data to local conservation organizations. Soon thereafter, she began using trail cameras to learn about wildlife behavior. In 2013, she completed a master’s degree in Conservation Biology, and in 2014 she earned a Level III CyberTracker certificate. Janet has led many tracking walks, and has given several presentations on tracking and camera trapping. In 2018, her first book, Camera Trapping Guide: Tracks, Sign, and Behavior of Eastern Wildlife, was published. She currently authors this blog, Winterberry Wildlife."

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.
