From growing up with a marathon-running mom to becoming a part of a vibrant running community herself, Rachel discusses the transformation from disliking running as a punishment in school sports to embracing it as a vital part of her life.

She talks about the importance of social media encouragement, running partners, and the camaraderie that bolsters her love for the sport.

Rachel also delves into her running rituals, favorite gear, memorable races, and the valuable life lessons running has taught her.

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.
