Episode Description from the Publisher

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie explores what happens when something small gets under your skin and stays with you longer than you expected. Maybe it was a short reply, a comment that hurt your feelings, a tone you weren’t expecting, or an interaction that left you wondering, Did they really mean it that way? This episode looks at taking things personally, overthinking, emotional awareness, self-awareness, hurt feelings, and emotional wellness through the lens of an ordinary moment that suddenly starts taking up more space in your day than you want it to. Leslie reflects on the difference between acknowledging that something hurt and letting that moment become the only thing you’re living inside. She also explores what happens when you start questioning what someone meant, replaying the interaction, or making the moment mean something about you. This isn’t about forcing yourself to get over it, pretending you’re not sensitive, or trying to fix your emotions on a deadline. It’s about noticing what happened, noticing how you feel, and noticing how much room that feeling has started to occupy. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: ⁠https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign⁠ leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something. No faces. No names. No titles. Just voices and honest conversation. We have already held our first gathering and it was exactly what I hoped it would be.
