Women of Impact

If you're anything like me and are obsessed with true crime and serial killer documentaries then guys, THIS episode is for you!!! Today's episode of Women of Impact is ABSOLUTELY PACKED with information and tactics so you can spot manipulators and their sleazy grooming process BEFORE they can sink their teeth into you!!  Too many women feel helpless and powerless in situations where they realize they fell for the wolf in sheep's clothing. The reality is, 1 in 10 people are either a psychopath, sociopath, or a narcissist. And while there are differences between the 3 types of abusers, one thing they all have in common is that they will manipulate and con you for their benefit.  This episode, with former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante, is here to educate and equip you to take control and protect yourself from people who don't have your best intentions at heart.  Andrew is the absolute expert in spotting these con-artists and has spent years of his life and career studying them! So he is super experienced, knowledgeable, and practical when it comes to spotting & shutting down manipulators.  We cover SOOO much in this episode, including: - The 3 warning signs someone is the “1 out of 10” and is actively trying to manipulate and control you - The natural vulnerabilities most women have to being conned, and how to put up guardrails to protect yourself so you can avoid becoming a victim - How real world con artists like the Tinder Swindler, Dirty John, Ted Bundy, and Elizabeth Holmes target and hunt for their victims  And that's just in part 1 of this 2 part episode! Seriously guys, the odds of you coming across a con artist is virtually guaranteed, and whether it's protecting yourself from a toxic romantic relationship, or protecting your grandma from a “helpful” neighbor that seems a little TOO friendly, learning these tactics can help you STOP the con before it starts and even potentially save your life.  Learn your spy superpower: https://everydayspy.com/spyquiz Follow Andrew Bustamante: Website: https://everydayspy.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayspy/ Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EverydaySpyPodcast Follow Me, Lisa Bilyeu:  Website: https://www.radicalconfidence.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu  X: https://twitter.com/lisabilyeu  If you want to dive deeper into my content, search through every episode, find specific topics I've covered, and ask me questions.

Real talk: How do you quit falling for dangerous charmers, manipulative narcissists, or men who only reveal their true colors after you're already invested? Welcome to Part 2 of my mind-blowing conversation with Dr. Gad Saad: Evolutionary Behavioral Scientist, best-selling author, and relentless unraveler of human behavior. We go ALL IN on the psychology of self-sabotage, how to finally take ownership of your choices, and why your “type” might be holding you back. In this unmissable second half, we dissect self-serving bias, breaking destructive patterns, and how to stop being your own worst enemy. Plus: what is “Alpine Divorce” (and why is it blowing up right now!), what the heck is the dark triad, the evolutionary roots of psychopathy, sperm wars, why men AND women cheat, and how your bundle of traits determines lifelong happiness. It's not just about finding the right partner: It's about understanding YOURSELF and protecting your heart before it gets broken (again).

You guys know I am obsessed with understanding why we do the things we do, especially the things that get us hurt. And today's guest is the perfect guide. Dr. Gad Saad is an evolutionary behavioral scientist, professor, bestselling author, and one of the world's boldest truth-tellers when it comes to the hard science behind jealousy, abuse, attraction, and the dark side of human relationships. If you've ever wondered why the “bad boy” draws you in, why jealousy can be so dangerous, or why some relationships escalate into control and even violence, this is the episode you need. Dr. Saad pulls no punches, and you'll be SHOCKED by how much of your love life can be explained by ancient evolutionary pressures. In Part 1, we dig deep into the evolutionary truths behind why women are repeatedly drawn to the same red-flag men, why men get so possessive and jealous, and the biological reasons behind dangerous behavior in relationships. Get ready to have your mind blown (and maybe cringe a little) as we unpack child abuse, infidelity, the real meaning of jealousy, red flags to watch for, and why “dangerous” is sometimes so damn attractive.

If you've ever blamed yourself for someone else's chaos, or worried that “genius” gives people a hall pass for bad behavior, Part 2 is your game-changer. In the second half, ex CIA spy Andrew Bustamante and I dive even deeper into the psychological maze of Kanye West. From his infamous Sway interview to his viral Piers Morgan clashes, we dissect the moments that had everyone screaming “Narcissist!”, and reveal why the truth is far more complicated, painful, and urgent for every woman dealing with emotional instability in her world. We dig into the impact of brain injury, bipolar disorder, and why some people never develop the filters that keep their emotions (and outbursts) in check. Most importantly, we talk about what to do when love collides with someone's untreated (or undiagnosed) mental health struggles, and how to protect yourself when patterns are clear but solutions aren't. Here's how you spot the difference between manipulation and genuine developmental challenge, and why YOU are always your own hero. SHOWNOTES “I am the most impactful artist of our generation”—how to decode self-aggrandizement The Sway interview: repetition, rage, and spectrum behaviors No eye contact, mic awareness—signs of autistic spectrum Creative talent meets developmental challenge: Where the myths fall apart Emotional escalation and de-escalation: The validation pattern Body language: manufactured confidence, defensive posture, and what's different (Piers Morgan) Answering like a child: What the “look at my view” moment really tells us Cognitive struggle, stalling, and stunted adaptation Male competition, showmanship, and abrasive deflection Shifted tone, no aggression, and dissociative energy—possible signs of medication The letter: Car accident, frontal lobe injury, and newly diagnosed bipolar I Excuses vs. explanations: What medical trauma DOES and DOESN'T excuse Shared responsibility: How to protect yourself, love wisely, and make the safest next decision Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth: code COZYLISA for 20% off https://cozyearth.com IQ Bar: 20% off and FREE shipping, text LISA to 64000 Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa HomeServe: Plans start at just $4.99 a month https://homeserve.com Follow Andrew Bustamante: Website: https://everydayspy.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EverydaySpyPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayspy Twitter: https://twitter.com/everydayspy FOLLOW LISA BILYEU: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.

You know those moments when you're transfixed by someone's words, but what's lurking underneath is screaming for your attention? Or when you wonder, is this person unpredictable out of passion, pain… or something darker? Today's episode is the breakdown you didn't know you needed. I'm joined by Andrew Bustamante, a former CIA spy, elite operations officer, and real-life human lie detector. Together, we analyze the one and only Kanye West (Ye): his outbursts, emotional swings, the public meltdowns. Is Kanye simply a misunderstood creative genius? Dealing with undiagnosed mental health struggles? Or is he, as many headlines have suggested, a classic narcissist? We use real clips, direct transcripts, and Andrew's expertise in body language and behavioral analysis to pull back the curtain on one of pop culture's most polarizing figures. This is your crash course in influence literacy, learning to spot red flags and decode the truth: Whether you're dealing with a superstar, a partner, or your own inner circle. And trust me, by the end, you will never look at these behaviors the same way. SHOWNOTES Outbursts, danger, and childish tantrums—what's really going on? Andrew analyzes emotional outbursts vs. creative personality Is this mental health, narcissism, or something else? Clues from Kim Kardashian: When personalities change Chemical imbalance, neurodivergence, and non-physical aggression Autism spectrum, developmental issues, and family reactions Validation, childlike reactions, and the power of emotional response Breakdown: Manipulation vs. intimidation: Narcissist or something deeper? Medication, hospital visits, and the suppressed self Kris Jenner's calm: Recognizing long-term family patterns Why validation works and how patterns help partners cope Storming off: The sensory overload escape Why not all coping mechanisms are intentional Hollywood, interviews, and new layers of Kanye behavior Body language breakdown: aggression, openness, confusion Structured thinking, repetition, and spectrum tells The man-child trap: Obligation vs. manipulation in relationships Repetition, grandiose demands, and the difference between narcissistic and developmental thinking Mimicry, mental stunting, and what disrupted Kanye's growth Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth: code COZYLISA for 20% off https://cozyearth.com IQ Bar: 20% off and FREE shipping, text LISA to 64000 Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa HomeServe: Plans start at just $4.99 a month https://homeserve.com Follow Andrew Bustamante: Website: https://everydayspy.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EverydaySpyPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayspy Twitter: https://twitter.com/everydayspy FOLLOW LISA BILYEU: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.

There are SO many pressures that are put on us women – like to get married, to have kids, to have an amazing career – ALL at the same time and before it's “too late”.  So it's sadly no surprise at all how many women end up succumbing to the MASSIVE pressures and just give up on finding Mr. Right, or the job that they're actually passionate about, and settle in the hopes that it will make everyone else (even the mailman) happy.  And we all know how that goes, right?? You end up living everyone else's life and you are left feeling like an empty shell of that amazing woman that you either used to be or the woman that you know that you can be! So on this episode of Women of Impact, I wanted to bring on someone who stood her ground despite the INSANE pressures, broke the mold of what everyone expected of her, and got back up, even when life kept knocking her down!  This inspiring woman has it ALL - the career, the marriage, and the family - without giving in or settling. BUT (and of course there's a catch), she didn't do it until she was frikin' 48 years old and most people said it was too late for her.  Today's guest is journalist, talk show host, and author Tamron Hall!!  Now homies, you KNOW I believe in my core that age is just a number and you should NEVER let it stop you from making your dreams come true, and Tamron couldn't be a better frikin' role model to learn from!  In this episode, we dig into:  - How to maintain your confidence and get back up, even when you've been fired, left ANOTHER bad relationship, or feel like you're “past your prime” - Why you need to bet on yourself if you want to actually make changes in your life   - Tamron's genius way of thinking about everything in your life as preparation  - How to handle people calling you difficult  - How to stay open to a man coming into your life, even when you think it's “too late” for you - And so much more!!   Let me tell you guys, by the end of this episode, you will know exactly what you need to do to, no matter what age you are, to take your power back in your life, not let challenges knock your confidence down, and do what you need to frikin' do to make your dreams a reality WITHOUT settling or succumbing to anyone else's pressures in life!!

Alison Armstrong has spent 35 years (yes, THREE. FIVE. YEARS.) studying men, gender dynamics, and what keeps love alive. In today's episode, she drops the stuff NO ONE warned you about: the ways women unintentionally emasculate men (and ourselves!), what men crave far deeper than just sex, why your feedback feels like an “attack,” and how centuries-old survival mechanisms are still ruining your love life today. If you ever wondered why your guy doesn't “get” taking out the trash, why men seem to tune out criticism, or why your needs still feel unmet, part one is your roadmap out of confusion and pain and into total clarity, self-honor, and actually getting what you need. SHOWNOTES How women accidentally emasculate men (and themselves) The “castrating” conversation that changed Alison's life Childhood stories: humiliating jocks, snap shirts, & the roots of gender pain How withholding admiration, appreciation, and accountability destroys relationships Why men need “actionable information” Why “taking out the trash” is not one simple thing “Feels like love, looks like math” – why your needs go unmet How men decide what women really need (and why it's not what you think) Exhaustion, “the sleep slide,” and why feeling safe is everything Shame, self-worth, and what women do that hurts men the most The layers of male protection against criticism The difference between single-focus (men) and diffuse awareness (women) Why men don't hear most of your criticism (and what to do instead) Wounds, shame, and the Superman complex—how this drives both genders The “frog farmer”: how you turn princes into frogs (and how to stop) Are all men just narcissists? How fear and labels destroy real connection The “bear in the woods” effect—why women run at red flags Why criticism flips men from “provide” to “protect” Why leading with sexuality puts men off-balance (and why that made Alison feel safe) Thank you to our sponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa Follow Alison Armstrong: Website: https://www.alisonarmstrong.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thealisonarmstrong/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlisonArmstrongVideos  FOLLOW LISA BILYEU: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact⁠ Tik Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.
