7. Raising Kids Who Won't Quit

from No Bras Required · host Meghan Retseck & Patti Johnston

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 school projects. What's inside this episode: Why "don't quit on your worst day" still matters. The difference between quitting and redirecting. Why kids today are overwhelmed but mastering nothing. The "three days, three weeks, three months" rule of perseverance. What's really going on in your child's class (and how to talk to teachers without losing your cool). How to model resilience (even when your thighs hurt and the toilet seat's up again). Bonus: potty-training hacks involving Cheerios. You're welcome. 👉 Listen now for a laugh, a little truth, and a reminder that you're doing better than you think.

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
