In late 2023, Hope Woodard declared to her followers she was going Boysober — no dating, no sex — in effort to break a generational pattern of male-centerenedess.

What was intended to be a personal mission to stop being a “generational slut” (her words, not mine!), the internet latched onto the term and Hope accidentally became the face of Gen Z celibacy. Her internet fame took off and had her replacing male validation with internet validation. 

In the years following, Hope reckoned with being the face of a movement she didn’t identify with, was canceled twice, was ran off the internet, and dabbled in unconventional methods to make ends meet.

Hope is now telling her story about the “beautiful disaster” that was Boysober and where she stands today with her relationship to men.

NECESSARY LISTEN if you plan on seeing The Odyssey!!! I saw it a few days ago completely blind and I don't recommend it, that movie is LOUD and I spent half the runtime trying to make out dialogue instead of just enjoying the story.

So this episode is me handing you all the context I wish I'd had going in, who everyone is, what's actually happening, the whole deal.

I'm also talking about why Christopher Nolan is becoming a legend in real time and the weird ways he runs his sets and casts his movies. He's NOT like other girls! I go through the cast and how much everyone got paid, and of course the IMAX debate.

Let's get physical!!! At the start of this year my mom, my brother Vic, and I had a real health reckoning — we get into the whole story, including the intense moment that kicked it off.

Seven months later we successfully concluded that fitness is fully integrated into our lives, strength training is just a thing we do now no matter what. 

Vic talks about  hearing what his mom said to him that day and what flipped in his head afterward: a hard conversation about his health turned into three people who genuinely have a gym routine now. I'm also sharing my gym tips: best days and times to go, the mental hacks that make me want to be there instead of dreading it. 

Recorded in Tybee Island, GA and you can hear the cicadas!

My mom and I attended Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine tour in Atlanta and we are recapping our experience!!! I'm a die hard Ariana fan; my mom was along for the ride after my initial concert buddy couldn't come. (F*** YOU AIRLINES!!)

As a healing guru and energy healer, my mom was totally moved by the show and its symbolism. Ariana's concert was MASTERFUL in its depiction of the healing journey and its ugly heads. It spoke to both of us on so many levels, me at 28 and my mom at 56. The concert successfully converted my mom to a die hard stan and solidified my love for my ultimate queen and dream guest.

WE LOVE YOU ARIANA!!! <3

Comedian and beauty queen Victoria Chuah joins Lit Hein fresh off going viral for her coverage of the NYC WAsian meetup — which s parked a whole debate about the ethics of celebrating WAsian-ness.

Victoria competed at both Miss USA and Miss America, and she spills about the inner workings of pageants and her various enemies (nothing is her fault btw). We also get into how she spots white guys who are weird about Asian girls, Taylor Swift's ongoing Sombre fixation, and a very special Wasian celebrities edition of Chic or Freak.

Maggie Crane is CRACKING ME TF UP!!!! She's a stand-up comedian, nanny to the children of the stars, Catholic maxxer, and certified emo girl. Her solo show Side by Side skyrocketed her career.

This episode: how Panic at the Disco carried her through her brother's death, what nobody tells you about growing up as the sibling of someone with a severe disability, and her completely unwavering loyalty to Brendon Urie.
