At the beginning of the podcast, Meghan said: “What these people are implying when they use this very loaded word, is that this woman: ‘Oh, it’s hard.’
“Which is actually just a euphemism or probably not even a euphemism. It’s really a key word for the B word.”
Speaking more about the word ‘difficult’, Meghan said: ‘My friend told me there’s a certain point when you accept the fact that not everyone is going to like you.
“The goal can’t be to be liked by everyone, but the goal can be to be respected.”
