I Nearly Died in Thailand: Here’s What It Taught Me About Trusting My Instinct
Real Women's Stories with Lisa QuaitShow Notes
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 instinct Why your younger self was often braver than you think And what changes when you finally start trusting yourself again
This episode is a reminder that you already have what you need. You just need to listen to it.
