Boysober: Daily Summaries Delivered
by iHeartPodcasts
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.

Introducing: Solita
Record numbers of women are traveling alone. But what are the real stories beyond the highlight reel, the "Bali will heal you" fantasies, and the doom warnings from your uncle? Hosted by solo traveler and award-winning writer Julie Piñero, Solita explores the messier side to solo travel. What happens when your Paris fling takes you somewhere the rom-coms wouldn’t dare? When your trip to honor your grandparents means facing your worst fear alone? When you say ‘yes’ and it surprises even you? Solita is Spanish for ‘a female alone’, but it drips with pity. This show takes that word back. Solitude - especially on the road - may be a time to follow a curiosity nobody shares, change your mind and push your limits. Each week, Julie and a guest unpack one solo trip and what it reveals about safety, sex, money, heritage, loneliness, identity and other nuances that make solo travel more approachable, less fantasy. Because the world isn’t always your oyster. That’s exactly what makes the story worth telling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So desperate that she travels to a monastery to seek guidance from women who might be considered the original boysober evangelists: nuns.This may not be a perfect ending. But it might be a real beginning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
