Daily Inspiration Quote by Lisa Snowdon

Divorce sits in the background here like weather: not the whole story, but the pressure system that changes everything. Snowdon’s line is a quiet correction to the glamorous myth that models (or any publicly “confident” women) glide through relationships on sheer self-possession. She frames vulnerability as situational, not essential. When your home life is splitting, your radar for what’s safe gets scrambled; you mistake intensity for intimacy, attention for care.

The phrasing does a lot of work. “Attract the wrong type of person” sounds passive at first, almost like fate, but she immediately flips it into accountability without self-blame: “You don’t know any better.” That’s the subtext - not “I was foolish,” but “my normal was being rewritten in real time.” The most revealing line is the last: “you don’t know how you’d like to be treated.” It’s less about standards than about literacy. If you never learned the vocabulary of respect, you can’t ask for it, spot it, or enforce it.

Context matters because Snowdon comes from an image-driven profession where being “chosen” is the job. That can train people to confuse desirability with being valued, and to tolerate bad behavior as the cost of being wanted. Her intent reads as a warning delivered without sermonizing: hurt doesn’t just make you sad; it can reprogram your dating instincts. The cultural sting is that this dynamic is common, but we only talk about it once it’s packaged as a redemption arc.
