Let Them Misunderstand You

from Meet Me At The Mic · host Alisa

In this episode of Meet Me at the Mic, I’m talking about the emotional exhaustion of trying to be understood... the pressure to be perceived as “good,” agreeable, emotionally regulated, and liked all the time. Through a few real-life moments from Mother’s Day weekend, I open up about people pleasing, overexplaining, fear of being misunderstood, and the healing that comes from learning to trust yourself without constantly needing everyone else to validate or fully understand you. If you’ve ever replayed conversations in your head or apologized for simply existing, this episode is for you.
