She got on stage, shared her lived experience healing from endometriosis, and a man in the event group chat called her repulsive. She didn't cry. She didn't leave. She clapped back, showed up the next day full force, and by the end of the event had turned the whole thing into a new client, a new signature talk, and one of the most powerful lessons of her speaking career. In this episode, she tells the full story — and breaks down exactly how she turns hard moments into gold.

IN THIS EPISODE:
The event that was 85% male coders — and why she knew immediately it wasn't her demographic
What she said on stage about healing from endometriosis, psoriasis, and colitis — and why it triggered someone in the chat
Being called repulsive in a group chat of hundreds of people — and clapping back anyway
How she came back the next day, pivoted her entire approach, and had 10 men at her table
The man who stayed at her round table for three or four rounds and booked a $1,000 session
Why she's now building a second signature talk for more logical, strategy-focused rooms
The QR code lesson: how to capture leads at a table or round table so they don't just disappear
Why reading the room is one of the most underrated skills in business — and how to do it in real time

STANDOUT QUOTES:
"Instead of getting upset and saying these people don't love me, I have so many other tools in my toolbox. I said okay, let me pivot — because obviously these people need strategy, not magic right now."

"I got on the mic the next morning and said: 'Hi, I'm Andrea Franco. I willed away endometriosis.' And everyone started laughing. And then I was like — just kidding. Here's what I actually do. Come to my table."

"You can't care what people think about you. But you do have to be willing to grow, pivot, and edit depending on the room you're in. That's not being fake. That's being smart."
