    A £50,000 Ultimatum - What It Taught Me About Holding My Ground

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck between two choices, or unsure whether to push or let go - this episode is for you. £50,000. That’s what we were asked to drop from the value of our home… just hours before exchange. In this episode, I take you inside one of the most intense weeks I’ve ever experienced - a collapsing chain, two mortgages, and a decision that could have changed everything. But what unfolded next forced me to stop, breathe, and come back to what really matters. Because in the middle of all the stress, the pressure, and the uncertainty… something happened that completely shifted my perspective on control, letting go, and trusting the process. This isn’t just a story about moving house. It’s about holding your ground, knowing your values, and learning when to surrender what you can’t control.

    I Nearly Died in Thailand: Here’s What It Taught Me About Trusting My Instinct

    In this episode, I share a story I haven’t spoken about in years. At 24, I found myself alone in Thailand, caught in a situation that didn’t feel right from the start. Every part of me was telling me something was off… and I ignored it. What followed was a chain of events that led me into a second situation where I nearly lost my life. But this isn’t just a story about what happened. It’s about what I realised after. Because when I look back, my instinct didn’t fail me - I just didn’t trust it. We talk about: The moment you know something isn’t right (and why we ignore it)How self-doubt overrides instinctWhy your younger self was often braver than you thinkAnd what changes when you finally start trusting yourself againThis episode is a reminder that you already have what you need. You just need to listen to it. --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.

    I Was 5,000 Miles From Home, Burnt Out and Overwhelmed - Here’s What I Learned

    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or unsure of your next step… this episode is for you. Ahead of the new season of Real Women’s Stories… I wanted to share something a little more personal. After a few weeks away from uploading, this is a bonus episode I felt I needed to record. I was completely burnt out. Exhausted. Overwhelmed. And instead of stopping, I did something that didn’t make logical sense - I got on a plane and flew 5,000 miles to Dubai to meet three women I’d only ever spoken to online. I nearly didn’t make it through that first night. I questioned everything. But what happened next reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place. In this episode, I’m sharing: what burnout really felt like for mewhy I chose to trust my instinct, even when it felt riskythe power of being around the right people at the right timeand what this experience taught me about moving forward when you feel stuck The Dubai interviews will be coming soon, but for now, I wanted to give you a glimpse into what this journey meant - and why these stories matter. --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.

    Why Do We Stop Taking Risks After 40?

    When we’re younger, we tend to say yes to opportunities without overthinking them. We experiment, we take risks, and we trust that things will somehow work out. But somewhere along the way, many of us start playing it safe. In this coaching episode, I reflect on why that happens - and the moment I realised I might be doing it myself. Is it responsibility? Fear of getting it wrong? Or the stories we tell ourselves about what we should and shouldn’t do after a certain age? If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating over an opportunity, second-guessing a decision, or wondering whether it’s “too late” to try something new, this episode is for you. Because maybe the curiosity and courage you had in your 20s hasn’t disappeared…maybe it’s just been buried under caution. So let me ask you one simple question: If you were 27 again… what would you do next? --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.

    I Ran Away for a Mamma Mia Summer - Then Started Again From Scratch

    At 27, Laura England walked away from everything - a long-term relationship, her business, and the life she thought she was building - and ran off for a “Mamma Mia summer” working on cruise ships in Greece. What looked like escape became something much bigger. In this episode, Laura shares how she rose into senior roles at sea, only to walk away again - this time signing a 12-month lease with no clients and no safety net, determined to rebuild from scratch on her own terms. We talk about pivoting at any age, detaching self-worth from career, navigating comparison, and finding the courage to begin again - even when it feels reckless. If you’ve ever questioned your direction or wondered whether it’s too late to change, this conversation will remind you: your life isn’t written in permanent marker. --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.

    This Is Your Sign: Stop Trying to Be Who You Were

    What if the reason you feel stuck right now… is because you’re trying to get back to who you used to be? After speaking to Talia about her accident and the moment her life completely changed, I kept thinking about something she said: she wasn’t meant to be that person before. This is who she’s meant to be now. And it made me reflect on my own life - and on so many of the women I work with. We think resilience means rebuilding what we had. We think strength means getting “back to normal.” But what if it doesn’t? In this coaching episode, I’m asking you to stop trying to return to an old version of yourself. Instead, I want you to consider who you could become because of what’s happened. If you’re feeling derailed, stuck, in transition, questioning your job, your direction, your purpose - this episode is for you. I’ll share the mindset shift I see time and time again in the women who create real change. And I’ll ask you the reflective questions that might just help you take one small, intentional step forward this week. Because maybe this isn’t about going back. Maybe this is your moment to reinvent. --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.

    I Had to Learn to Walk Again at 25 - Here’s What It Taught Me

    At just 25, Talia Lazarus faced the unthinkable - a life-altering accident that nearly took her life and left her having to learn to walk again. What followed wasn’t just recovery - it was a complete reinvention of who she thought she was and what she wanted out of life. In this deeply personal episode of Real Women’s Stories, Talia shares the raw, unfiltered truth about pain, identity, and transformation. We go beyond the physical injury to explore the emotional wreckage that followed: the panic attacks, the grief for the person she used to be, and the moment she realised that surviving wasn’t enough. Rather than returning to her old life, Talia chose something radically different. She burned her old world to the ground - not out of anger, but out of clarity - and started again with a mission to help others do the same. Through her work with her I Got Back Up podcast, Talia now supports people rebuilding after trauma, teaching them what she had to learn the hard way: resilience isn’t about bouncing back - it’s about rising up with purpose. Join us for a story of survival, reinvention, identity rediscovery, and the courage it takes to walk into a life you never thought possible. --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.
