Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait

Your life might look fine on paper. You’re busy, capable, making plans and doing all the things you thought would make you happy. So why can it still feel as though something is missing?In this episode, I share the moment I realised that achievements, goals and waiting for the right time were never going to fill that gap. We explore what “fine” can be hiding, how to notice the thing you’ve been longing for, and the simple question that helped me finally say out loud what I truly wanted from my life.If you’re tired of settling for fine but aren’t yet sure what “more” looks like, this is your invitation to start listening to yourself.---🎧 Listening on Apple Podcasts?

But in this live coaching session, she is the one in the hot seat.Amy is busy, ambitious and full of ideas: coaching clients, creating content, growing a podcast and stepping into speaking. Yet underneath all that activity, she is struggling to make space for the work that genuinely excites her - and feels trapped by the pressure to keep doing what she thinks she should do.Together, we unpack the guilt of stepping away from social media, the exhaustion of trying to do everything, and why being constantly busy does not always mean you are moving towards the life you really want.If you are always switched on but the things that matter most keep being pushed aside, this conversation will help you pause, get clear on your priorities and put your energy where it can make the biggest difference.---🎧 Listening on Apple Podcasts?
