36. The Version of Me I'm Becoming

from No Bras Required · host Meghan Retseck & Patti Johnston

This week, Patti and Meghan are getting real about the version of themselves that exists underneath all the motherhood, marriage, business ownership, stress, dance recitals, spirit weeks, and survival mode. From spiral perms and glamour shots to boundaries, burnout, and rediscovering joy, this episode is one giant "same, girl" conversation about growing up, growing older, and growing into yourself without apologizing for it. They chat about the friendships that shift over time, the pressure to constantly do more, and why protecting your peace starts to matter way more than people pleasing. Also discussed: Why uncomfortable bras are officially cancelled The emotional damage caused by mandatory spirit weeks Why silence now feels luxurious The evolution from "yes girl" to boundary queen How survival mode quietly changes your personality The grief that comes with outgrowing people and old versions of yourself Why naps are no longer optional The dream of becoming chaotic old ladies together in the retirement home If you've been feeling like you're changing lately, this episode is your reminder that evolving is not failing. You're allowed to outgrow things. You're allowed to protect your peace. And you're definitely allowed to become softer in some ways and stronger in others. Bras optional, comfy pants encouraged.
