In this episode, I'm sharing a simple end-of-year practice I've returned to every year since 2017—one that has nothing to do with resolutions, goals, or fixing yourself.It started in a yoga class on New Year's Eve, during a time when my life was quietly falling apart. I was deeply depressed, circling the truth that I needed to leave my marriage, and trying to survive day to day. The exercise was simple: two cards. One for the year you're leaving. One for the year you're stepping into. Not achievements. Not intentions. Just words.I'm walking you through how this practice helped me tell the truth about what a year actually felt like—longing, fear, disconnection, grief—and how naming that reality grounded me instead of shaming me. When you've lived in abuse or survival mode, your inner compass gets scrambled. Your nervous system isn't thinking about the future. It's trying to stay safe. So when people ask about goals or resolutions, everything can freeze.This practice doesn't ask you to know the future. It asks you to tell the truth about the present. Here is the Substack link: https://open.substack.com/pub/jessicaknightcoaching/p/instead-of-resolutions-i-do-this?r=1ecj9w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueSupport the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

I've talked about Manipulators and 250 different tactics that have been used in Part 1 and Part 2. Today I'm going over 6 tactics that I've successfully used throughout the years. (Not my proudest moments) but this is for educational purposes only with a slight of entertainment.

You know those moments when something feels off, but you can't tell if it's danger… discomfort… or just two strong personalities clashing? This episode goes straight into one of the most controversial conversations happening right now… and instead of reacting emotionally, we slow it down and analyze the actual behavior. Former CIA intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante joins me to break down behind-the-scenes footage involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, examining body language, power dynamics, control, discomfort, and competition, frame by frame. This is not about picking sides. It's about learning how to see clearly, protect yourself, and understand what's really happening when emotions, power, and perception collide. Because as women, the goal is never blind loyalty or blind skepticism. The goal is clarity. Here's exactly what we dive into: How to spot the difference between control, competition, and discomfort Why discomfort doesn't always mean powerlessness The subtle body-language cues that reveal who's actually leading the dynamic How women sometimes use control as a way to feel safe Why two people can both be telling the truth and still be in conflict What this case teaches us about perception, power, and boundaries in real life Show Notes Is This Toxic Masculinity or Weaponized Victimhood? Competition or Control? Breaking Down the On-Set Power Dynamic Is Control a Defense Mechanism When a Woman Feels Unsafe?

Is Buffett signaling the end of the bull market? Or is there a deeper level of market manipulation happening behind the scenes as the world's most famous "crypto-skeptic" sits on the sidelines with more dry powder than ever before?

If your role changed tomorrow, would you have options or just panic? Most people assume their company will guide their career. That someone, somewhere, is thinking about their growth. But here's the truth: no one is planning your next move but you.In this episode, I'm sharing a core negotiator mindset shift: build your BATNA before you need it. You'll hear what a senior leader told me about how he evaluates his team's preparedness, and why confidence doesn't come from certainty. It comes from having real options.Your career isn't a job title. It's a portfolio. Let's talk about how to invest in it on purpose.In this episode, I'll cover:How to build internal and external career options before you need themWhat it actually means to invest in your portfolioWhy options, not bluffing, are your source of true confidence_____________________

New Year's Resolutions or Intentions for the New Year...Peace will rule, get into it! End of year roundup, reflecting on next chapter of my life, I am hopeful that my ordered steps will help someone else. Truth comes in many forms. What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. An elderly woman once told a sister, "I love her, but I cannot breathe when she leaves. It is as though she blows out the candles in my house." The sister answered her with gentle truth, "Love her from a distance, for God did not ask you to sacrifice your peace to satisfy another's unrest." If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type, the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you.  3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you.  Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts.  5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives.  Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace.  Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge.  Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah  Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and all of us should be about fixing our mental health always....

Let me tell you how excited I am to share the incredibly powerful two-part episode that exposes even more of the narcissistic tricks and emotionally abusive behavior so that you'll never question if you're crazy again! Dr. Ramani is no stranger to Women of Impact and she's an absolute powerhouse when it comes to shining the light on narcissistic abuse and behaviors straight out of their playbook.

Not only is this exhausting, but it's even more reason for you to get away), *Dr Ramani unpacks the unconscious process of narcissistic behavior that makes them unreasonable to stay and deal with.  *When toxic partners weaponize your shame to maintain control over you, Dr Ramani shares exactly how you should respond) *Dr Ramani reveals why self-reflection is absolutely critical in breaking free from narcissists, Whew! Ladies understanding narcissistic behaviors and being able to spot their manipulation tactics may actually save your sanity (or even better, save your life!).

Chris, Ade and Jeremiah explore the ways new technology can help you make fantastic photos.

This episode is not about fresh starts, resolutions, or manifesting a better year.It's for the people who feel heavy, uneasy, or scared as the year changes.I'm sharing honestly about what the end of the year felt like for me when my life didn't feel safe—when I was still inside emotionally abusive relationships, even though I didn't have that language yet. I talk about the dread that replaced reflection, the exhaustion of constant self-editing, the panic attacks, the private crying, the way I negotiated my own needs just to keep the peace.There are no tidy lessons here. This episode isn't meant to inspire you to do more or be better.We talk about:Why New Year's can feel threatening instead of hopeful when your life has felt unpredictable or unsafeHow emotional abuse intensifies during holidays and end-of-year reflectionThe slow realization of “I can't keep living like this” and why that isn't failureTrauma bonds, self-doubt, and the moment your body starts telling the truthWhy hope doesn't have to be loud to be realIf the bravest thing you can do right now is stop gaslighting yourself, this episode is for you.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

We're talking about silence, framing, and the ask. These aren't nice-to-haves.

These are practical habits you can use every day to build clarity, confidence, and leadership presence.In this episode, I'll cover:Practicing silence as a signal of confidence and authorityMaking small, intentional asks that build your negotiation muscleSpotting where you're softening your message and how to reframe it with clarity_____________________

Christmas tree fires are frightening, but they're not the leading cause of house fires in the U.S. What's surprising is how many fires start from everyday habits and household choices most people never think twice about. This episode begins with a look at several common yet overlooked causes of home fires. Source: https://www.bobvila.com/articles/fire-safety/#.Viz3ILerTIU We alter our own memories far more than we realize. We forget details, highlight the good parts, and unintentionally distort events over time. Now scientists are exploring how to deliberately modify specific memories — softening painful recollections and strengthening positive ones. Steve Ramirez explains how memory really works and where this groundbreaking research is headed. He is an associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, a TED speaker, and author of How to Change a Memory: One Neuroscientist's Quest to Alter the Past (https://amzn.to/3KFiLJp). Wildlife encounters seem to be increasing — bears on porches, coyotes in yards, bobcats strolling down suburban streets. Are these animals getting more comfortable with humans? Are we building into their territory? And what should you actually do during a close encounter? Randi Minetor, author of more than 90 books including The Bear at the Bird Feeder: Why We're Seeing More Wild Animals in Our Neighborhoods and How We Can Live in Harmony with Them (https://amzn.to/4pHy5UM), offers insight and practical advice. Seeing flashing police lights in your rearview mirror is enough to make anyone nervous. Once you're pulled over, what should you do — and just as important, what should you not do — when the officer approaches your window? We wrap up with key tips to help keep the encounter calm and trouble-free. Source: https://www.aamva.org/law-enforcement/what-to-do-when-stopped-by-law-enforcement PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Welcome back to Part 2 of this unfiltered, in-depth conversation with Dr. Orion Taraban. After laying the psychological groundwork in Part 1, Lisa Bilyeu and Dr. Taraban dive even deeper, breaking down gendered attraction strategies, healthy relationship “marketing,” and why understanding the captain vs. passenger analogy could forever change the way you approach dating and love.

The conversation doesn't shy away from sticky subjects: sex, exclusivity, money, “testing” your partner, and how so many women mistake potential for reality. If you're ready for raw, research-backed advice on navigating modern romance from a place of strength, you won't want to miss this.

 6 Clues to Spot an Unsafe “Christian” — Before You Get HurtHave you ever trusted someone just because they seemed safe… only to realize later they were quietly draining your peace, joy, or confidence? Many people who wound us don't look toxic at first glance—some even wear a Christian label. But behind the smiles and Scripture quotes can hide patterns that God never intended for your life.In today's episode, we're breaking down the 6 subtle but undeniable clues that reveal when someone is not a safe Christian to let close to your heart. We'll talk about: • The friend who only shows up for one side of your life • The quiet scorekeeper who makes you feel indebted • The validation-seeker who drains your emotional energy • Hidden jealousy disguised as support • The person who can't admit their mistakes • And the guilt-tripping behaviors that twist your boundariesThese patterns are easy to miss—especially when the person appears kind, spiritual, or “means well.” But once you learn how to recognize these clues, you'll never have to say “I didn't see it coming” again.This episode will help you protect your peace, your spiritual growth, and the garden God is cultivating in your life.And when you're ready, don't miss the next episode where I show you the hidden habit that keeps attracting unsafe relationships into your life—and how to break it for good.Watch next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIpu5qUQ-NE&t=2sGrab my new book:

In this episode of "Women of Impact," Lisa Bilyeu welcomes Dr. Orion Taraban, psychologist, YouTube creator, and author of the bestselling book "The Value of Others." Dr. Taraban brings a refreshingly candid — and sometimes controversial — perspective to the complex world of romantic relationships, power dynamics, and emotional safety. Together, they pull back the curtain on common traps women fall into, how to recognize manipulation (especially from narcissists or cluster B personalities), and the essential mindsets needed to reclaim your relationship power once and for all. Dr. Taraban and Lisa set the groundwork by tackling why no one can technically manipulate your emotions — unless you allow them to. This is essential listening for anyone looking to understand how to protect themselves while dating—or simply elevate their personal relationships to a new level of autonomy.

According to Chinese Communist official Xi Zhongxun, his first revolutionary act was an attempt to poison one of his school's administrators when he was 14. He was faithful to the revolution, and the Chinese Communist Party, until his death at age 88 in 2002. In between those ages was a remarkable life. He fought Nationalists and Japanese. He was a right-hand man to both Zhou Enlai in the 1950s, and Hu Yaobang in the 1980s. As the Party administrator responsible for dealing with religious groups, he negotiated with the Dalai Lama–and would show off the wristwatch that the Dalai Lama gave him. But Xi also spent sixteen years in house arrest, internal exile, under suspicion, or at least out of power, from 1962 to 1978. “In the early 1990s, Xi even boasted to a Western historian that although Deng Xiaoping had suffered at the hands of the party on three occasions, he had been persecuted five times.” All this would make Xi Zhongxun fascinating simply as a psychological study of a Communist functionary who, despite everything, remained devoted to the system that oppressed him. But Xi Zhongxun was also the father of Xi Jinping, now effectively the dictator of China. If we are to understand the younger Xi, argues my guest Joseph Torigian, then we must understand his father.Joseph Torigian is an associate professor in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a center associate of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. He was previously on the podcast to discuss his book Prestige, Manipulation, and Coercion: Elite Power Struggles in the Soviet Union and China after Stalin and Mao, a conversation that was published on May 23, 2022. His latest book is The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping was released with Stanford University Press in June 2025.

Sometimes we know exactly what we want, but we don't raise our hand. We hesitate. We wait. And the opportunity passes us by.In this episode, I'm talking about what holds us back from stepping up, why hesitation costs more than we think, and how to catch ourselves in the moments we stay small.Smart women miss out. Not because they're unqualified. Because they don't prepare for the moment when opportunity quietly appears. Let's change that. You'll walk away knowing what to look for, what to say, and how to advocate for yourself before you're “ready.”In this episode, I'll cover:How to spot the subtle opportunities hiding in plain sightWhat hesitation sounds like in your head and why it winsThree specific steps to raise your hand with intention_____________________

The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people want to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to appear trustworthy, not actually be it, because you'll act before you can verify.Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now feels more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

The $100 Silver Window Is Almost Gone — And This Time It Won't Reopen Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/bXIi8jBSW6Y?si=XOflk-EgU8fzw665 Money Rewind 29 subscribers 788 views Dec 4, 2025 This documentary investigates a recurring four-stage pattern in commodity markets, analyzing its potential application to the contemporary silver market. The central thesis posits that assets historically used as money often undergo a cycle of Establishment, Manipulation, Squeeze, and eventual Break of the paper derivative market. This analysis is contextualized through an examination of current market phenomena, including significant physical silver withdrawals from COMEX vaults, the suspension of silver sales by major international banks, and the presence of market backwardation—a key indicator of acute physical demand. The narrative draws parallels to major historical precedents, including the 1980 silver crisis precipitated by the Hunt brothers, the 1971 "Nixon Shock" which severed the U.S. dollar's final link to gold, and the 2001 palladium supply shock. By dissecting silver's dual role as both a historic monetary asset and an indispensable industrial commodity facing a structural supply deficit, the film argues that the modern silver market is exhibiting classic signs of the "Squeeze" phase, signaling a potential decoupling between the price of physical metal and its paper equivalents.
