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...

Happy New Year, friends, and welcome to our first episode of 2026. 🥂
We're kicking things off exactly how we do best, with honesty, humour, tequila ice cubes, and a big reality check around New Year's resolutions.

If you've ever gone into January feeling motivated, organized, and ready to become a brand new human, only to crash back into real life by mid-month, this episode is for you. We're breaking down why most resolutions fail, why it has nothing to do with laziness or willpower, and what actually works instead.

This is a no guilt, no "new...

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.

We talk studio wins, parenting milestones, exhaustion we didn't plan for, moments we showed up when we absolutely did not want to, and why reflection matters way more than rushing forward.

If you're tired, proud...

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. And that rest...

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 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 c...

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, sibling sarcasm, and the curse of the elf), pl...

This week, Patti and Meghan are admitting the thing most of us won't say out loud… we are way too attached to our phones. Between the studio emails, family group texts, and "just one more scroll" before bed, being present feels like a full-time job.

In this real, funny, and sometimes painfully honest chat, they unpack how our devices are quietly stealing our attention, how our kids are mirroring our habits, and what it means to rebuild genuine connection — one unplugged moment at a time.

In this episode:

The morning doom-scroll (and the fuzz...

This week, Patti and Meghan are swapping their bras for boundaries and their tight pants for soft ones as they dive deep into the art of pivoting—in business, in motherhood, and in life.

They get real about what happens when the version of you from your twenties can't carry you through your forties, the pressure to "do it all," and how growth sometimes looks like fewer friends, less hustle, and more naps.

With stories about bruised glutes, soft pants, and surprise career twists, this one's equal parts funny and freeing.

This week Patti and Meghan are talking about the real mental and emotional load that women carry every single day: from remembering every dentist appointment and lost sock to being the only one who can replace the toilet paper roll.

They're digging into the invisible labor that keeps families, businesses, and lives running, and how it quietly drains us until one day we're hurling canned goods out the car window or rage-cleaning the kitchen with a tequila in hand.

Expect laughs, honesty, and a few too-real confessions (looking at you, unflushed toilets and Spirit Week...

It's been a week, friends. Between sore thighs, sneezing workouts, and rocket-fuel sinus drops (yes, really), Patti and Meghan are back to tackle a big one: raising kids who don't quit.

In a world where "I'm bored" turns into "I quit" in five seconds flat, how do we help our kids develop grit? The girls dig into why kids are struggling with resilience, how parents accidentally enable it, and what we can do to help kids—and ourselves—get a little tougher.

You'll laugh, nod, and maybe even rethink your approach to soccer season and scho...

This week, Patti and Meghan tackle one of the most awkward parenting rites of passage: The Talk.

From accidentally terrifying toddlers with farm animal births to mortifying school phone calls ("Mrs. Johnston, your son is fact-checking anatomy in class…"), the girls are spilling everything about how to navigate that conversation with humor, honesty, and maybe a little wine.

They dig into why "The Talk" should actually be a series of talks, how to use real language (no "front bums," please), and how to layer in family values without shame.

It's awkward, it's funny, an...

Ever catch your reflection and think, "Who's that woman raising humans today?" The one with the messy bun, smudged shirt, and that look that says "Don't test me, I'm hanging by a coffee thread."

This week, Patti and Meghan are serving up an episode full of laughter, nostalgia, and the kind of real talk that only two tired, wise, and slightly feral dance-studio mums could deliver.

They cover everything from parenting fails and hilarious kid quotes to body image, self-talk, and the moments our children teach us what resilience really looks like.

It's...

If you've ever felt like your body's given up before your to-do list has, this one's for you. Patti and Meghan dive into the real talk about exhaustion - physical, mental, and emotional- and what to do when your check-engine light is flashing.

They share the unfiltered truth about parenting, teaching, running studios, and trying to take care of everyone (including yourself). Expect laughter, a few f-bombs disguised as "Kid Rock therapy," and honest confessions about hitting the wall, dragon-lady moments, and why it's okay to cry in your closet once in a while.

This week we're getting raw and real about something that's draining so many entrepreneurs: building a business that doesn't actually line up with your own values.

Ever feel like you're running your biz on autopilot - doing things "the way it's always been done" - and wondering why you're exhausted, unfulfilled, or even resentful of the very business you created? Been there.

In this episode, Patti and Meghan unpack:

How we realised our businesses were running on old blueprints that didn't serve us anymore.

What happened when we stopped chasing "shoulds"...

It's back-to-school season and we're diving in: messy socks, missing spoons, feral summer children and all. In this episode, Patti and Meghan laugh through the chaos of school prep, swap war stories about labeling crayons, and get real about what kids (and parents) need to thrive this year.

This isn't a Pinterest-perfect guide. It's the truth about cereal-for-dinner, teenage meltdowns, and how to actually build resilience in your kids when they'd rather just quit. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or coach, you'll find both the comic relief and the encouragement you need to tackle a new school...
