Growth isn't quiet. It isn't polite. And it definitely doesn't keep everyone comfortable.
This week, Patti and Meghan are digging into the real, rarely talked about truth of personal growth, especially for mums, leaders, and women who are done playing small to keep the peace.
If you've ever been told "you've changed," felt guilty for setting boundaries, or noticed people pulling away the moment you got clearer, more confident, or more self-respecting, this episode is for you.
We're talking about the social cost of living boldly, why some people miss the old version of you, and how letting others be uncomfortable might be the most loving thing you can do for yourself and your kids.
This isn't about becoming cold or unkind. It's about choosing peace over performance, and self-respect over staying recognizable.
In this episode, we talk about:Why growth changes how people treat and respect you
The unspoken agreements women are expected to keep, and what happens when we break them
Why boundaries often get labelled as "attitude" or "being intimidating"
Losing relationships as a natural part of leadership and business growth
Modeling courage and self-respect for our kids
Why peace is a better measure of success than praise
Letting go of permission, approval, and over-explaining
If this episode hits a nerve, you're probably doing something right.
🎧 Listen now, and remember, bras are optional, but comfy pants are non-negotiable.
