This episode hits right in the gut, in the best way.

Patti and Meghan are talking about living boldly, not because the fear goes away, but because you learn how to live with it. This is not a "just be confident" episode. This is a real conversation about self-doubt, fear, people-pleasing, hard decisions, and why waiting to feel ready is usually what keeps us stuck.

They dig into why women are taught to play small, how fear shows up in business and parenting, and why some of the hardest decisions end up being the ones we regret not making sooner. From setting boundaries, letting people go, raising resilient kids, and redefining what success actually looks like, this episode is packed with perspective, laughs, and a few "oh wow, that's me" moments.

If you've been sitting on a decision because it feels uncomfortable, not impossible, this one's for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why fear never fully goes away, and why that's okay

• The difference between being nice and being kind

• How women are conditioned to play small, and how to stop

• Making hard decisions in business and parenting

• Teaching kids that failure is part of growth

• Why clarity only comes after action

• Redefining success on your own terms

Happy New Year, friends, and welcome to our first episode of 2026. 🥂
We're kicking things off exactly how we do best, with honesty, humour, tequila ice cubes, and a big reality check around New Year's resolutions.

If you've ever gone into January feeling motivated, organized, and ready to become a brand new human, only to crash back into real life by mid-month, this episode is for you. We're breaking down why most resolutions fail, why it has nothing to do with laziness or willpower, and what actually works instead.

This is a no guilt, no "new year, new me" conversation. It's about building systems, choosing goals that matter to you, letting go of the ones that don't, and giving yourself grace when life inevitably shows up.

We also dive into parenting, goal setting for kids, accountability without shame, and why supporting your kids does not mean saving them from every uncomfortable moment.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why January motivation fades and what to do instead

• The difference between resolutions and real, achievable goals

• How accountability partners and systems beat willpower every time

• Why small, boring consistency always wins over big dramatic plans

• Letting go of guilt, perfectionism, and the all-or-nothing mindset

• Helping kids set goals without crushing confidence or taking over

• Why struggle is actually required to build confidence

• Creating goals that add joy, connection, and fun, not pressure

As always, we're here to remind you that you don't need to overhaul your personality this year. You're building habits, not becoming someone else.

Before we sprint into a new year with fresh planners, big goals, and wildly unrealistic expectations, we're hitting pause.

In this episode, Patti and Meghan sit down for an honest, unfiltered year-in-review. The highs that made it all worth it, the lows that knocked the wind out of us, and the lessons that shaped who we're becoming next.

We talk studio wins, parenting milestones, exhaustion we didn't plan for, moments we showed up when we absolutely did not want to, and why reflection matters way more than rushing forward.

If you're tired, proud, grateful, overwhelmed, and hopeful all at the same time, this one's for you.

• Celebrating big and small studio wins without brushing them off

• Parenting moments that make you stop and go, wow, we did okay

• Showing up when you're running on fumes

• Why culture matters more than perfection

• Protecting your peace as a business owner and human

• Letting lows become data, not shame

• Finding humour, joy, and mischief even in heavy seasons

Take a breath, grab your coffee or tequila, and reflect with us.
