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.

Hope has been stuck in a very familiar pattern — go boysober, boylapse, repeat. In Boysober's final episode, she’s desperate to break the cycle. 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.
