Women of Impact

In part two, Alison and I dive deep into infidelity, why both men and women cheat, the four “food groups” men need (prepare to be shocked!), and the absolute game-changing revelation she discovered after 35 years about the “ever presence of death” in men's lives. We dismantle the myth of men as the constant “bad guys,” get brutally honest about what loyalty really means, and Alison reveals how tuning into your own AND your partner's core needs is the secret to a lasting, passionate relationship. Plus—how to stop repeating self-sabotage, the actual reasons men get lost in video games (and why it's not a waste!) and the only way to press ‘reset' and repair love after betrayal. Shownotes Infidelity, emotional cheating, and how needs go unmet How losing confidence kills faithfulness Sex, admiration, and why men stray The true fuel behind male protection and provision The ‘wave' of infidelity and why “just leave” isn't as simple as it sounds Monogamy, needs, and the painful truth about marriage struggles Alison's newest, SHOCKING revelation: men and the “ever presence of death” What makes a woman worth dying (or living) for? Healing wounds, crafting your sexual manifesto, and why men are more innocent than you think Strategic sex and why American women get it wrong The sheepdog vs. the wolf: how to tell if a man is GOOD Why you HAVE to study video games to master loving men The real difference between punishment and consequences—how to finally reset and start over 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.

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.

If you thought Part 1 was wild, wait for this. In Part 2, we get down and dirty… religion (yep, my dad said NO to Tom), smashing gender roles, why chores start so many fights, what's ACTUALLY happening in the bedroom after 25 years, and how we survived me going from silent-housewife to boardroom boss.

To my Ladies, Today's episode was such a difficult one for me, but I felt called to record it because these issues are tearing soooooo many couples and families apart, and it's time we talk about it! This is me being really extremely vulnerable as I have a conversation with my husband about something that's been sitting heavy for a long time. I run a female empowerment channel. I love this show. I love you guys. I'm here to encourage women to be freaking badass. And yet… my husband voted for Trump. A man I despise!  And when that came out publicly? The backlash was real. And I've been navigating our relationship, our differences, and how the hell I even talk about this… for almost a year. So today, I'm bringing my hubby on because we're finally having the conversation no one wants to have. The conversation people are too afraid to touch.  I've had so many women come to me quietly like, “Lisa, don't tell anyone, but…” and then it's either their partner voted for Trump and they're terrified of the backlash, or they voted for Trump themselves and feel like they have to stay silent. And when that many people feel like they have to hide? Something is wrong!!! Relationships can't thrive when you're walking on eggshells and pretending. So I wanted to be real. I wanted to be honest. And I wanted to show you what it looks like to love someone deeply and still have differences… politics, religion, all of it. I'm Greek Orthodox, he's atheist. We've navigated this for 25 years. It hasn't always been easy… but it's been doable. And here's the key: we've never lost respect for each other and we've never abandoned ourselves! I don't expect everyone to “love” this episode. I get it. Everyone has their opinions. But this isn't about politics. This is about how you stay connected when you don't agree. How you actually hear your partner. How you handle different views without trying to tear each other down. Because let me be really real, I love my husband more than anything on this planet and his political and religious beliefs hasn't and won't ever change that.  So if you're that person, if you want to understand your partner and navigate differences while still being incredibly happy and solid, please listen with open ears, open eyes, and an open mind. Because if we can learn to have honest conversations with grace, love, respect and without trying to destroy each other? Oh my God… I truly believe we can build a different world. And it all starts with being brave…. Much Love, Lisa B SHOWNOTES Trump, feminism, and the fallout – surviving public backlash The “North Star” in marriage vs. politics Economic collapse, history lessons & ugly truths Abortion – my story, my shame, and working through pain together Globalization, jobs, and why immigration is so damn messy What if Trump “turned” on me? – loyalty, fear, and family first Can you be a Women's advocate AND married to someone with opposite views? Building on CORE values, not political headlines Interfaith marriages – Greek Orthodox vs. Atheist & mutual respect Raising kids (if we had them!) and value collisions Sex, porn, and mismatched drives – the honest reality Thank you to our sponsors:  Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa Microperfumes: 60% off at https://microperfumes.com/woi Follow Tom Bilyeu: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomBilyeu Newsletter: https://tombilyeu.com/billion-dollar-principles Starting a business?

When you've been hurt by someone you trusted, it feels impossible that you'll ever let go of the pain and shame around what happened and be able to stand in your power again. The truth is that though you feel like a victim, and you feel taken advantage of, or like you're completely broken, it is possible to move past this situation and open yourself to love and safety without fear. Najwa Zebian has joined us on Women of Impact multiple times and each time she's been able to put words to the pain that has blindsided many women and offer a new perspective through which we can move out of survival mode and truly start healing.  She's the bestselling author of Welcome Home, Mind Platter, Sparks of Phoenix and so much more. As a woman she's experienced the difficulties of life, going against culture, and being open and vulnerable with the wrong people.  In this episode, Najwa and Lisa are bringing you a fresh look at setting boundaries. It's not about keeping people out or giving other people a set of rules to follow, it's about your personal value and how you see your self-worth. Being a people pleasing woman may have landed you in painful situations, but you can make peace with that version of you and ask yourself the one question that will bring you to tears, healing, and freedom.

We talk: Real-life family drama (We get deep on the Brooklyn Beckham controversy) What to do when YOU'RE the one with the avoidant, anxious, or even fearful avoidant traits (spoiler: you can change, homie) The messy process of setting boundaries (and accidentally overreacting, then feeling guilty #beenthere) The difference between a dismissive avoidant and a narcissist (it's not the same and we break it DOWN) Why you keep attracting the same toxic relationships (and what to actually do about it, step by step) How to rewire your attachment style… even if it feels impossible after years of baggage and bear-in-the-woods-level triggers (if you know, you know) If you want to finally understand yourself, your partners, and stop the self-sabotage spiral, this episode is your roadmap.
