9. Permission to Pivot

from No Bras Required · host Meghan Retseck & Patti Johnston

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. In this episode: How to know when it's time to pivot (and why it's not "giving up") Why women hit 40 and suddenly stop caring about matching Tupperware "Weeding the garden": the power of unfollowing and un-friending for peace When your business or career takes an unexpected turn (and how to roll with it) Why it's sexy to have boundaries, not abs The joy of soft pants, small circles, and saying "no" with love How to honour who you've become without apologizing for it Grab your coffee (or your tequila) and settle in. Because this one's all about giving yourself permission to pivot—no bras required. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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
