20. Becoming Her Means Letting them be Uncomfortable
No Bras Required
Growth isn’t quiet. It isn’t polite. And it definitely doesn’t keep everyone comfortable. This week, Patti and Meghan are digging into the real, rarely talked about truth of personal growth, especially for mums, leaders, and women who are done playing small to keep the peace. If you’ve ever been told “you’ve changed,” felt guilty for setting boundaries, or noticed people pulling away the moment you got clearer, more confident, or more self-respecting, this episode is for you. We’re talking about the social cost of living boldly, why some people miss the old version of you, and...

19. Stop Waiting to Feel Different
No Bras Required
Ever told yourself, “I’ll do it when things settle down”… and then realised life literally never settles down? Yeah. Same. In this episode, Patti and Meghan call out one of the biggest lies women have been sold, that confidence, boldness, and clarity come before action. Spoiler alert, they don’t. They come after you move. This is not a habits episode. It’s not about waking up earlier, drinking more water, or finding the perfect planner. It’s about why waiting to feel ready keeps so many women stuck, and why the people you think are confident were scared too. They just went first....

18. Choosing Yourself Is A Skill (Not A Personality Trait)
No Bras Required
If you’ve ever looked at another woman and thought, “I wish I could be more bold like her,” this episode is your permission slip. Because here’s the truth, bold women weren’t born ordering tequila and saying no with confidence. They practiced. And most of the time, it felt awkward, guilt-inducing, and uncomfortable as hell. In this episode, Patti and Meghan dig into why being “reliable” is praised, but often punishes women quietly. We talk about guilt, fear, self-preservation, marriage seasons, parenting pressure, menopause moments, and why choosing yourself isn’t selfish,...

17. Bold Moves, Quiet Doubt
No Bras Required
This episode hits right in the gut, in the best way. Patti and Meghan are talking about living boldly, not because the fear goes away, but because you learn how to live with it. This is not a “just be confident” episode. This is a real conversation about self-doubt, fear, people-pleasing, hard decisions, and why waiting to feel ready is usually what keeps us stuck. They dig into why women are taught to play small, how fear shows up in business and parenting, and why some of the hardest decisions end up being the ones we regret not making sooner. From setting boundaries, letting people go,...

15. 2025 In Review
No Bras Required
Before we sprint into a new year with fresh planners, big goals, and wildly unrealistic expectations, we’re hitting pause. In this episode, Patti and Meghan sit down for an honest, unfiltered year-in-review. The highs that made it all worth it, the lows that knocked the wind out of us, and the lessons that shaped who we’re becoming next.

If you’re tired, proud, grateful, overwhelmed, and hopeful all...

14. Giving Yourself Permission To Breathe
No Bras Required
December is basically the Olympics for mums. The events never end, there’s no medal ceremony, and somehow you’re the athlete, the coach, the organiser, the snack provider, and the emotional support human for everyone else. In this episode, Patti and Meghan are talking about what December really feels like. The invisible load. The emotional overdraft. The rage cleaning. The fantasies about checking into a hotel alone with snacks and silence. And most importantly, how to give yourself permission to breathe without guilt. This is your reminder that you’re not failing, you’re overloaded....

13. How to Handle Difficult People Without Losing Your Christmas Spirit
No Bras Required
This week, we’re talking about those people. The stressed stranger in Target. The family member who thinks your emotional bandwidth is an unlimited data plan. The studio parent who forgot to read the email (again). Basically, anyone who might make you consider a brief but meaningful stay in orange. Patti and Meghan dig into why everyone is one candy cane away from a full meltdown in December, how not to absorb other people’s emotional tornadoes, and simple one-liners you can use to pivot away from awkward conversations or unsolicited life feedback. This episode is warm, funny, and very...

12. The Gift Of Ordinary Days
No Bras Required
This week, Patti and Meghan get a little cozy, a little nostalgic, and - surprise - a little emotional as they explore the gift hiding in our ordinary days. From laundry rooms and lost baby photos to toddlers with questionable attitudes and teenagers who only call on WiFi, this conversation is a gentle nudge to slow down and savor the stuff we rush through. We’re talking car rides, cereal spills, tuck-ins, dance-studio drives, and all the tiny moments that somehow become the ones we miss the most. It’s a big-sister reminder that “someday” is a scam, the chaos won’t last forever,...

11. How To Not Lose Your S#!t In December
No Bras Required
December is twinkly and magical… until it isn’t. Between studio shows, exams, shopping, sick kids, forgotten batteries, and the 900 events we somehow get roped into, the holidays can feel less “Merry & Bright” and more “Holding On By a Glitter-Covered Thread.” In this hilarious AND heartfelt episode, Patti and Meghan unpack the real-life chaos of Christmas as mums, dance studio owners, and women who juggle all the plates while simmering in equal parts cocoa, love, resentment, and nostalgia. They share their own stories (including candlestick disappointments, 2am bun-making,...
