When the Movie Isn’t Mine

from Women Who Don't Apologise · host Patricia Haywood

Some scenes don’t need a rewrite.They just need an exit.In this episode, I talk about what happens when you realise:you’re not the main character in someone else’s story; you’re just the emotional clean-up crew.There’s a moment where you have to stop trying to edit the plot, fix the tone, or change your delivery.That's when you know it's time to … walk out.Because not every fight is yours. Not every rescue is your job.And not every movie is worth staying for.Delete the apology, keep the power.
