From Blueprint to Movement: How Chapters Shape the Tour
The Without Apology Tour is built on the book—literally. Each chapter in A Pot to P*ss In gives shape, tone, and direction to a different stop.
During the Madison Residency, every single event represents a chapter. We move through the book in order—one chapter at a time, in one city—building momentum and community as we go.
After Madison, the tour goes national—and global.
Each new city becomes the living embodiment of a single chapter. That means:
📍 One city. One chapter. One unforgettable conversation.
This structure makes each stop unique, while still grounding it in the heart of the story. Whether you’re in Madison or Manila, you’re stepping into a space that’s personal, powerful, and rooted in the text.
Join the Tour: Read it. Reflect on it. Rep it. Walk it.
Whether you're rocking with us in Madison or prepping for when we hit your city,

Launching June 17th, 2025
Sagashus Levingston doesn’t just chase dreams—she fights for them.
A recent PhD graduate, business owner, and single mom of six, her life is a storm of chaos and ambition. Between caring for her father battling dementia, holding her family together, and navigating her tangled love life, she already has her hands full. But her next challenge is her boldest yet: buying a home with no money, no credit, and no room for failure.
In A Pot to P*ss In, Sagashus takes readers on a nine-month journey of heartbreak, resilience, and impossible triumph. With her children’s stability on the line, she scales her business, battles systemic barriers, and faces her own vulnerabilities head-on. This isn’t just about buying a house—it’s about reclaiming her right to dream in a world that tells women like her to settle for less.
Through raw honesty and unrelenting determination, Sagashus reveals how ambition collides with identity, motherhood, and the deeply personal nature of politics. Her story digs into the hidden forces that make dreaming harder—like systemic bias in the banking industry and the generational weight of oppression—and shows how owning her narrative became her ultimate tool for survival.
For every woman who’s ever been told her dreams were too big, this memoir is a battle cry. It’s proof that grit, faith, love, and a refusal to quit can defy the odds and turn the impossible into a legacy.
