We all have moments where we realise people don’t see us the way we actually are. In this episode, Rosie and Roula talk about feeling misunderstood, from confidence that’s mistaken for having it all together, to assumptions based on appearance, personality, or past versions of who we used to be. They unpack how even the people closest to us can get it wrong, why being misunderstood can feel so unsettling, and how our inner world rarely matches what others see on the outside. The conversation moves through identity, vulnerability, feminism, growth, and the quiet frustration of being known only on the surface.

Topics covered

• What people misunderstand about us
• Confidence versus self doubt
• Being misjudged based on appearance or personality
• How close relationships can still misunderstand us
• Feminism and why it’s so often misinterpreted
• Outgrowing old versions of yourself

What do you wish people understood about you that they’ve always gotten wrong?
