Women of Impact

This is a fan fav episode. Hey everyone, it's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to another heart-shaking, soul-quaking episode of "Women of Impact." Today, I have the absolute pleasure of bringing back one of my all-time favorite guests, a woman who has not only impacted my life but countless others with her raw, unfiltered honesty and boundless wisdom—the incredible Lisa Nichols. In this episode, Lisa Nichols is bringing the heat and the heart as she takes us on a deeply personal journey through her emotional struggles and the path to rediscovering herself. Imagine battling through toxic relationships, facing the depths of clinical depression, and constantly wrestling with societal pressures that try to tell you who you should be—Lisa has been there, and she’s lived to tell the tale in the most empowering way. She opens up about the courageous steps she took to reclaim her life, including relocating to escape a toxic situation and creating practices to rebuild her self-worth. We dive into the transformative power of self-reflection and forgiveness, and Lisa shares the incredible methods she used, from affirmations and mentorship to visual reminders that kept her grounded and focused on her true potential. But that's not all—Lisa and I explore the tough, gritty topics like the internal conflict of intuition versus desire, and the necessity of self-acceptance in a world that often tries to dim our light. She even introduces us to her innovative "boldness quiz," designed to help us all push past our fears and embrace our true, fearless selves. And for those of you who crave a little entertainment mixed with empowerment, Lisa gives us a sneak peek into her latest endeavor—a one-woman Broadway show that's set to inspire and transform lives.

You ever watch a couple and feel your gut whisper, “Something’s not right here”… but you can’t quite explain why? Homie, THIS is the episode that finally gives language to what your intuition already knows. Former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante is back, and together we break down the viral Lily Allen & David Harbour house-tour video — frame by frame — to reveal the micro-expressions, distancing behaviors, passive-aggression, and emotional patterns that almost no one catches on the first watch. This isn’t gossip. This is about giving YOU the tools to spot manipulation, insecurity, emotional withdrawal, and mismatch long before it ruins your confidence, drains your energy, or makes you dim your damn light. Andrew exposes the real signals of discomfort, resentment, performative affection, sensory-driven conflict, and how small “jokes” can reveal massive cracks in a relationship. We go deep, from abandonment cues, to validation bids, to open-relationship dynamics, to the heartbreaking red carpet moments you absolutely must pay attention to. If you’ve ever ignored your gut… If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “overreacting”… If you’ve ever felt unseen or minimized by a partner… This episode is your permission slip to trust what you see.

This is a fan fav episode. Today we’re unveiling the truth behind cheating. Join me for a thought-provoking two-part episode of Women of Impact where I sit down with Latteras Whitfield for a candid conversation about cheating, which I'll admit is going to be a bit triggering for some of you. Together, we delve deep into the reasons behind Latteras' infidelity and provide valuable insights for women dealing with the aftermath of this painful betrayal. Laterras, the author of Dear Future Wifey, opens up about his personal experiences of cheating multiple times on his ex-wife. He emphasizes that his cheating was never about her but rather a reflection of his own lack of integrity. We explore the factors that contribute to cheating, such as unmet needs, contention, and the misconception that sex with other women means nothing to a married man. This conversation touches on angles we rarely think about, such as the failure of counseling and the lack of open discussions about what sex truly looks like within a marriage. Laterras shares a heart-breaking story about a feather that taught him a valuable lesson on intimacy and unmet needs. And ladies, there's a powerful lesson in it for you too. I know this isn’t easy for some of you to hear, but my goal is to provide healing and foster better conversations in the future. I want you to be able to spot the signs of cheating and take action accordingly, with absolutely no judgment if you decide to stay or leave that relationship. Subscribe to Women of Impact for more thought-provoking content that addresses the silent struggles we face in relationships and in life. Communication and understanding are key to saving broken hearts and facilitating healing in today's complex world of love and commitment. For further insights on navigating the challenges and building strong, resilient partnerships check out Laterras' book, Dear Future Wifey: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Future-Wifey/dp/B08K58WDPT⁠ Original air date: 12-14-2023 Follow Laterras Whitfield: Website: ⁠https://www.kingdomroyale.com/⁠  YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/DearFutureWifey⁠  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/laterrasrwhitfield/⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a fan fav episode. On this very personal episode of Heath Theory, Tom Bilyeu interviews the co-founder of Impact Theory (and his wife), Lisa Bilyeu.

Today we're shedding light on a rampant issue – the overflowing, toxic dating advice online. In a sea of 950 million search results on relationship advice, almost 99.9% of it is misleading and might be holding you back from the love and romance you're looking for. If you're tired of chasing men who simply aren't serious and ready to step into your Bad B*tch Era, we’ve got you covered! No more watered-down versions of yourself, and no more tip-toeing around what you really want in a relationship. My guest is none other than the dynamic Sabrina Zohar – a dating expert and relationship hero who's been there, done that, and broken the cycle. She's debunking the overused, underwhelming dating tips that are great for online quotes but terrible for your love life. Before you strut your stuff in those "bad bitch" boots, you need to get crystal clear on what you want and how you want it, and that’s what we’re about to get into!

A guy knows if he wants to f*ck you but not if he wants to date you.” ‘I didn’t ask for the anxious attachment style, but I’ll sure as f*ck heal through it.” “A trigger is my problem, not yours.” “Meet yourself with compassion or meet yourself with blame.

It means the world to me to be able to share these not-so-glamourous moments with you, so you know what it takes to keep moving forward. Your confidence is going to take a nose-dive, and the decisions you make will feel questionable at times.  Why this honesty? Because it's real. And in real life, these tough times are universal. In this episode, I'm serving up some serious food for thought on how to stay present, manage your energy, and tackle those inevitable roadblocks like a true champion. Also, let me tell you the most peculiar date I’ve ever been on. I’m spilling the tea on how my hubby and I went from causal fling to the unexpected love of a lifetime. I hope our 22-year long journey inspires someone and reveals what’s possible..

This is a fan fav episode. This is a fan fav episode. What up homies, I'm your host, Lisa Bilyeu and today I invited my girl, Faith Jenkins back for another episode to guide you on this journey of empowerment and it’s dedicated to all of the single ladies that are fed up with B.S. dating advice and trying to keep everyone else happy. We’re about to share a secret with you - it’s the secret of embracing and living your best life, no matter what stage of single you're at (actually it’s more like 6 secrets that are no longer secret, but they are life changing). No one talks about how exciting and meaningful the single life can be. Being single can be an exciting, fulfilling phase of your life that’s so much more than a waiting room for marriage or failed relationships. In fact, it's a time of self-exploration, a time to unchain yourself from past hurts, and a time to understand what you truly want from love and life. This two-part episode is a pot of priceless lessons on mastering the art of being single and happy. We cover everything - from enjoying the single phase, becoming an intentional dater, to understanding the importance of marriage for you (in your own words,not your momma’s words). We're not just talking about the good bits, but also the challenges - like family pressure, loneliness, and the fear of settling.
