  • 20. Becoming Her Means Letting them be Uncomfortable
    Jan 30 2026

    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 how letting others be uncomfortable might be the most loving thing you can do for yourself and your kids.

    This isn't about becoming cold or unkind.
    It's about choosing peace over performance, and self-respect over staying recognizable.

    In this episode, we talk about:
    • Why growth changes how people treat and respect you

    • The unspoken agreements women are expected to keep, and what happens when we break them

    • Why boundaries often get labelled as "attitude" or "being intimidating"

    • Losing relationships as a natural part of leadership and business growth

    • Modeling courage and self-respect for our kids

    • Why peace is a better measure of success than praise

    • Letting go of permission, approval, and over-explaining

    If this episode hits a nerve, you're probably doing something right.

    🎧 Listen now, and remember, bras are optional, but comfy pants are non-negotiable.

  • 19. Stop Waiting to Feel Different
    Jan 23 2026

    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.

    From parenting triggers and flu karma, to quitting things you've outgrown, to how "self-improvement" can quietly become the world's prettiest hiding place, this one gets uncomfortably real.

    If you've been telling yourself you're "not there yet", this episode might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why "when things calm down" is the biggest trap

    • How self-growth can turn into procrastination with better branding

    • The difference between preparing and hiding

    • Why confident people don't actually feel confident

    • Discomfort as a green light, not a warning sign

    • Parenting, leadership, and letting people struggle instead of rescuing them

    • Why you move first, then you feel different

    🎧 Listen in, then tell us, what's the thing you've been waiting to do?

  • 18. Choosing Yourself Is A Skill (Not A Personality Trait)
    Jan 16 2026

    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, it's learned.

    No boundary scripts. No worksheets. Just honest conversation about what it actually looks like to live boldly when you've been trained to stay small.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why boldness is a skill, not a personality trait

    • How guilt shows up when you start choosing yourself

    • The "reliable woman trap" and why busy women get asked for more

    • Why bold women are often quiet, not attention-seeking

    • How fear doesn't disappear, it just stops running the show

    • Seasons of life, marriage, motherhood, and letting things "wither" on purpose

    • Why your kids learn self-worth by watching your actions, not your words

    If this episode hit a nerve, it's probably because you're already practicing boldness, even if it doesn't feel pretty yet.
