When a man's words and actions just don't add up, your gut kicks in—but is it intuition, or paranoia? I'm Lisa Bilyeu, and in this episode, I sit down with world-renowned interrogator and body language expert Scott Rouse, who's trained with the FBI, to break down the subtle cues that reveal if someone's being honest, hiding something, or even manipulating you. From decoding mixed signals and love bombing to learning the red flags of a true psychopath, Scott gives us a toolkit for self-protection and radical self-trust. This is essential wisdom for every woman who wants to feel safe, seen, and strong—whether you're dating, doing business, or just tuning up your radar for the people in your life.

Laura Richards and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by former CIA spy and intelligence expert Andrew Bustamante to unpack the complex web of evidence, abuse, and control unfolding in the Sean “Diddy” trial. Laura, Lisa and Andrew explore the charges against Combs including that Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, in comparison with particular testimonies including Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, "The Punisher” and Kid Cudi. Laura highlights how abusers weaponise fear and power to maintain control, and how those in their orbit enable the abuse—whether through silence or active participation. Andrew brings a spy's lens to the case, analyzing Diddy's tactics through the eyes of a trained operative—making powerful connections between psychological warfare and public manipulation. This isn't just about Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. It's bigger than that. It's about a systemic failure to protect women and girls—and what must change. Listen now. Share it widely. And follow Crime Analyst. Knowledge is power—and this knowledge could save a life.

This is a Fan Favorite episode. What up, homies! It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to another fire episode of Women of Impact! Today I am beyond pumped to bring you a conversation with someone I have been dying to sit down with—spiritual mentor, artist, entrepreneur, the incredible founder of Shrimu, AND the phenomenal partner to Rich Roll, the one and only Julie Piatt! Girl, if you've ever wondered how to find your soul's purpose in love, business, and life, or if you've struggled to balance being a freaking badass independent woman while in a relationship with another powerhouse, this episode is for you! Julie and I get REAL on what it means to grow through relationships (even the hard, failed ones!), how to truly own your path, and the deep spiritual work that actually creates transformation—not just in your marriage, but inside of YOU. Julie doesn't hold back, sharing her journey through three marriages, including one that was abusive, and exactly how she turned those painful chapters into the raw fuel for her mastery and spiritual growth.

Plus, we geek out on how to build a mission-driven company like Shrimu without losing yourself. You do not want to miss these wisdom bombs.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this special live episode, I'm joined by my incredible co-host (and wife), Lisa Bilyeu, for a deep-dive on the intersection of politics, world affairs, and what's really threatening democracy today. We tackle some heavy news—like Biden's shock cancer announcement and the implications of Bernie Sanders admitting Democrats can be a threat to democracy. Of course, with Lisa in the studio, we also bring an unfiltered relationship lens to these societal issues, exploring why humans double down on dogma, how our childhood shapes genius, and if wisdom can ever outrun calcified beliefs. Plus, we get personal on the abuse of power, MeToo fallout, female agency, and where the law should (or shouldn't) intervene in manipulative relationships.

We're sitting down, raw and real, right in the thick of quarantine, and breaking down some of the juiciest questions you guys have thrown my way: How do you help a loved one create real transformation in their life?

And, let's get honest, how do you spark change when you feel like you've tried everything and nothing's working? (Spoiler: It's not about nagging!) You'll get actionable advice on separating emotion from logic, building new habits from a place of self-love INSTEAD of self-hate, and helping those you love…even when it feels freaking impossible.

Lisa Bilyeu welcomes author, relationship counselor, and pastor Toure Roberts for an unfiltered conversation about what it truly means to be a high-value man—and how women can spot genuine green flags instead of falling for toxic cycles. With years of experience counseling couples through the ups and downs of partnership, Toure brings powerful insights into the emotional complexity of men, exploring how childhood, cultural expectations, and a lack of affirmation shape the inner worlds and needs of men in intimate relationships. In part one, Lisa and Toure dismantle popular narratives about neediness, strength, and gender roles, offering both personal stories and practical wisdom. From the long-term pitfalls of viral, drama-driven content to the realities of male vulnerability, they explore what women really need to know about men—and how both partners can participate in building safe, affirming, and deeply connected relationships. If you've ever wondered why men seem to have it all together on the outside, but struggle to open up on the inside, this episode delivers answers that might just shift your whole approach to love. SHOWNOTES 00:00 – Why focusing on green flags matters more than toxic red flags 00:31 – The trap of viral drama and the “Jerry Springer Effect” in modern content 01:16 – Oprah's approach to long-term impact vs. chasing views 02:32 – The real responsibility of content creators: affecting culture meaningfully 07:17 – Toure's experience counseling couples: What women misunderstand about men's needs 08:03 – The myth of the simple man: Why men are secretly complicated and needy 09:37 – Internal battles men face with responsibility, identity, and the question: Am I enough? 12:01 – Toure's personal story: The lifelong weight of being a strong provider 14:09 – The seeds of insecurity sown by critical father figures and lack of affirmation 17:49 – How childhood lessons shape adult relationships and unhealthy dynamics 19:48 – The difference between being a “mama's boy” and toughening up—and why both energies matter 22:08 – Breaking down the damaging lessons young men absorb about emotions and love 24:16 – How being denied vulnerability leads to emotional suppression in men 25:16 – Early breakups and heartbreak: Toure's inside view of trust and male friendships 27:26 – “I need you”: What happens when both partners acknowledge their need for one another FOLLOW TOURE ROBERTS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toureroberts/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ToureRoberts Website: https://www.toureroberts.com CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.

Lasting change begins with a shift in both mindset and behavior. Many people remain stuck in self-defeating patterns because of unconscious narratives, emotional triggers, and a disconnection from their body's inner wisdom. Change isn't just about willpower or information—it's about learning to rewire the brain through small, intentional actions that generate powerful emotional feedback loops. Identity transformation happens not through repetition, but through experiences that create a sense of success. In a world flooded with conflicting advice and manipulative marketing, reclaiming agency requires tuning into your own signals, building self-trust, and recognizing that behavior change is a design challenge—not a character flaw. Empowerment comes from realizing that the ability to change is built into who we are as humans. In this episode, I speak with Tom Bilyeu, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and Dr. BJ Fogg about cracking the nut of behavior change. Tom Bilyeu is a filmmaker and serial entrepreneur best known as the co-founder of Quest Nutrition, a billion-dollar company built to combat metabolic disease through value-driven innovation. After nearly a decade of chasing financial success and feeling unfulfilled, he realized the importance of loving the struggle itself. This insight led him and his partners to shift focus from profit to purpose. Quest quickly became the second fastest-growing company in North America, according to Inc. Magazine. After achieving significant personal wealth, Tom turned to the other global crisis he saw—disempowering mindsets. To address this, he co-founded Impact Theory, a media studio with his wife, Lisa Bilyeu. Their mission is to scale mindset transformation by producing empowering content that shifts the cultural subconscious. Just as Disney built the most magical place on Earth, the Bilyeus aim to build the most empowering one. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK. A practicing GP for the last two decades, Dr. Chatterjee wants to inspire people to transform their health by making small, sustainable changes to their lifestyles. Host of the #1 Apple podcast, Feel Better, Live More, and presenter of BBC 1's Doctor in the House, Dr. Chatterjee is the author of 5 Sunday Times bestselling books and his TED Talk, “How to Make Diseases Disappear,” has now been viewed over 4.8 million times. His newest book is Happy Mind, Happy Life: The New Science of Mental Well-Being. Dr. BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist, author, and founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, where he has researched human behavior since 1998. He developed the groundbreaking “Behavior Design” system, which explains how behavior works and how to design it effectively. Over the past decade, his lab has focused on practical applications—from helping people navigate coronavirus-related challenges to training climate change professionals in behavior change strategies. BJ is also the creator of the “Tiny Habits” method, a simple, science-backed approach to habit formation that has helped over 40,000 people make lasting life changes.

Laura and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by two powerhouse guests: Dr. Nadine Macaluso, trauma bond expert and ex-wife of the real Wolf of Wall Street, and Brian Buckmire, criminal defense trial attorney and ABC Legal Contributor. Laura, Lisa and Nadine unpack the insidious dynamics of love bombing, grooming, and power imbalance and manipulation straight out of the abuser's playbook. They explore cognitive dissonance, and the shame and sexual coercion many women endure in silence. Nadine shares deeply personal insights from her own experience, having walked in Cassie Ventura's shoes, offering a survivor-informed lens that cuts through the noise. Then, in a critical courtroom breakdown, of the first week of trial Laura, Lisa and Brian dive into the legal complexities of the Diddy trial—from the potential impact of juror demographics on perceptions of consent to discussions about Diddy's deviant sexual psychopathology. Laura brings her decades of expertise into sharp focus—connecting coercive control patterns to the real-world courtroom to help us all understand the warning signs that are often missed, help listeners understand, identify and avoid the traps abuser and spotlight how lawyers spin the narrative and blur the lines when defending abusive men.

Lisa Bilyeu and Yvette Nicole Brown pick up right where they left off, taking us even deeper into the realities (and joys!) of aging, love, partnership, and personal growth. Now joyfully married at 53, Yvette shares what it's really like to let someone new into your life after building your routines, independence, and self-acceptance over decades of singleness. Lisa and Yvette get radically honest about menopause, aging, and the major changes women face in midlife—physical, emotional, and relational. From navigating hormonal shifts and brain fog to rejecting the stigma and secrecy surrounding menopause, Yvette and Lisa offer real talk and solutions, all with their signature humor and compassion. They unpack the adjustments required when forming new partnerships in your 40s and 50s, and how to keep your authentic self at the forefront in love, friendship, and career.

In today's raw and revealing episode, host Lisa Bilyeu sits down with the inspiring Cheryl Burke—from Dancing with the Stars—for an honest conversation about protecting yourself from emotional harm and breaking free from self-sabotaging patterns. Cheryl opens up about her struggles with addiction, childhood trauma, and the relentless inner voice of judgment that once dominated her life.

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on July 28, 2021. Relationships are never easy, and marriage is harder than most would imagine. With the average length of marriage in the U.S, being just over 8 years, I am happily celebrating 19 years of marriage this year and sharing some of the lessons learned along the way. I am answering your questions about everything from how to know if he's the “one” to de-escalating those heated arguments that leave you angered and red in the face. Relationships are beautiful when you recognize the amount of work it takes to be in a great relationship, and when you finally realize the “perfect” relationship doesn't exist and never did. So, whether you are in a relationship, thinking about marriage, dating or not even started yet, there's definitely make you stop and think, ‘huh maybe I should give this a try.' It's not for everyone, but being married and in a healthy and loving relationship can be one of the best experiences for anyone. BONUS TAKEAWAYS: 2 Tips for when you find yourself sabotaging your own relationships: 1. Write it down and reflect to explore your feelings in detail with no judgement. When and how did things progress from argument? Exactly was it that triggered your response. 2. Communicate with your partner about exactly what things are triggering you before the next argument. Be open, be vulnerable, and be patient with yourself. How to disrupt heated arguments before they escalate any further: 1. Recall the argument and identify where would have been a good moment to walk away and take the time to change your mood. 2. Consider writing a letter to yourself to remind you to disrupt the moment. 3. Use something meaningful and significant, such as Lisa's love chip, to signal to your partner and yourself what's important.

In the compelling second half of Lisa Bilyeu's conversation with Jason Wilson, the focus shifts to solution-oriented frameworks and the revolutionary concept of “the comprehensive man.” Jason breaks down the key differences between the traditional masculine man—trapped by stoicism, performance, and aggression—and the comprehensive man, who brings emotional range, compassion, and true partnership into every area of his life. Lisa and Jason walk through the “green flags” of a healthy, emotionally mature partner, drawing a practical roadmap for women and men seeking deep, lasting connections. Jason explores the roles of fighter, provider, leader, lover, nurturer, friend, husband, father, and son, explaining how each archetype transforms when a man is free from cultural conditioning. Together, they address building boundaries, overcoming generational trauma, healing, and how both men and women must re-learn what it means to love and be loved. If you're ready to drop outdated scripts and build real intimacy, this powerhouse conclusion will inspire you to rethink everything you know about relationships.

Lisa Bilyeu sits down with transformational coach, speaker, and best-selling author Jason Wilson for an unfiltered, eye-opening conversation on men, masculinity, and emotional connection. Jason is the founder of the “Cave of Adullam,” a life training academy for boys and men, and he's developed a reputation for helping men break free from emotional suppression and cultural programming. With the communication gap between men and women wider than ever, Jason joins Lisa as a much-needed “translator,” decoding what men think but often don't say. Together, they dig deep into generational wounds, emotional barriers, and the misunderstandings that keep men and women disconnected from one another. Through a game of “Why Does a Man…?” Jason exposes surprising truths about commitment fears, intimacy, cheating, and why men fear vulnerability. Lisa shares her own honest reactions, highlighting the ways that society's conflicting scripts hurt women, too. Whether you're struggling to understand the men in your life or looking to heal and set boundaries, this episode is a must-listen.

What's up my amazing crew, it's your girl Lisa Bilyeu rocking it with Women of Impact! Now picture this – have you ever been out on a date and thought, could this person actually be dangerous? Maybe it's not even just a date, perhaps it's an old flame or heck, even a coworker or neighbor. And you've wondered, “Is this person a total sweetheart, or am I dating a potential psychopath?” Trust me, I get it! Seriously, did you realize that 1 in 20 people actually have psychopathic traits? So if you've dated more than 20 people, you might have unknowingly encountered one. That means someone who seems super charismatic on the surface may actually be hiding some pretty scary truths underneath that charming exterior. And before you know it, you're caught up in something that isn't just about missing paying the bill or forgetting an anniversary—it could be about coercive control, losing your independence, and feeling isolated beyond measure. And that's exactly why I'm thrilled to bring today's guest onto the show. He's a badass former FBI profiler, Jim Clemente, who can spot these wolves in sheep's clothing from a mile away. He's going to break down the signs you need to look out for—those sneaky little cues that many of us miss while dating. So, my friends, if you're ready to ensure you never get caught up in a dangerous web of deceit—and let's face it, who doesn't want to avoid that—keep listening because Jim's insights are a must-know for everyone who's dating, befriending, or just trying to figure people out in this world. We're diving deep right here, right now on Women of Impact!
