Episode Synopsis

“I smiled at the time… but later, the words stayed with me.”In this deeply honest and unplanned coaching episode, Lisa reflects on how a handful of unexpected online comments affected her far more than she anticipated - even at 51, even with experience, and even knowing the comments weren’t true.What lingered wasn’t criticism - it was the feeling of being misunderstood. Strangers created stories about who she is, stories that didn’t reflect her truth, yet still found a way to sit quietly in her mind long after the moment had passed.In this episode, Lisa explores:Why negative comments often hurt more than positive onesWhat it feels like to be misunderstood publiclyHow easily false narratives about us are createdWhy we replay certain words long after we wish we wouldn’tAnd how to stop allowing other people’s opinions to shape how we feel about ourselvesLisa also shares the powerful “Let Them / Let Me” mindset - a gentle but transformative way to release control over what others think and reclaim control over how we respond.This episode is for anyone who has ever:Been misjudgedFelt quietly shaken by someone else’s wordsOr wondered why certain comments linger long after they should have faded---Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa---Connect with LisaInstagram: Follow LisaFacebook: Follow LisaYouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.
