72. Not Feeling Heard Is Completely Optional

How much time and energy do you spend feeling disrespected or unheard? Many high-achieving women find themselves ruminating over moments when they feel overlooked or ignored, whether it’s a boss talking over them or a partner not acknowledging their contributions. These feelings can chip away at trust and collaboration, leaving us emotionally drained. But here’s the truth: feeling disrespected is optional. It’s not about other people’s behavior, but about how we choose to interpret it.

In this episode, we break down how feeling disrespected comes from our thoughts, not someone else’s actions. We talk about how our brain adds meaning to neutral events, like someone interrupting us, and how those thoughts create emotional responses. By separating facts from interpretations, we can regain our power and stop outsourcing our worth to others. You’ll learn how to stop reacting emotionally and start responding from a place of strategy and clarity.
