5. The Mom In The Mirror

from No Bras Required · host Meghan Retseck & Patti Johnston

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 honest, funny, heartfelt - and might make you want to call your mom and apologize. In this episode: Why our kids are tiny parrots with perfect comedic timing Parenting fails that turned into life lessons (hello, socks in the lunchbox) How we accidentally become our mothers (and kinda love it) Raising confident kids in a comparison-filled world Modeling healthy self-talk and body image Letting kids see our mistakes - and how we fix them A gentle parenting challenge you'll actually want to try 🎧 Listen now - and remember: bras are optional, but kindness is mandatory.
