If you've ever felt like your body's given up before your to-do list has, this one's for you. Patti and Meghan dive into the real talk about exhaustion - physical, mental, and emotional- and what to do when your check-engine light is flashing.
They share the unfiltered truth about parenting, teaching, running studios, and trying to take care of everyone (including yourself). Expect laughter, a few f-bombs disguised as "Kid Rock therapy," and honest confessions about hitting the wall, dragon-lady moments, and why it's okay to cry in your closet once in a while.
In this episode:
Why exhaustion doesn't mean you're broken
What "rest" actually looks like for busy moms
The art of the 8-minute car concert therapy
Balancing teacher-parent relationships with empathy
Why apologizing (even to your kids) matters
Small daily practices that make a big difference
The power of gratitude and real self-care (not the spa kind)
👉 Follow the conversation and share your own "check engine" moments on Instagram @NoBrasRequiredPod. Bras optional. Coffee mandatory.
