    Stop Being Dismissed: Exactly What to Say the Next Time You’re Gaslit, Disrespected, or Ignored | Kwame Christian PT 2
    Jul 3 2025
    Continuing the masterclass on confident communication, Part 2 of Lisa Bilyeu’s transformative interview with Kwame Christian dives even deeper into the actionable side of navigating life’s toughest conversations. This half is your tactical toolkit for boundary-setting, breaking free from people-pleasing, and leveling up your negotiation skills—both with others and with yourself. Kwame and Lisa walk through the overlooked power of having a conversation “about the conversation”—from inviting others into dialogue with respect for timing, to tackling the tricky dynamics of dueling truths and differing upbringings. You’ll discover how to pivot conflicts into cooperative journeys, decode body language for deeper understanding, and master the art of healthy detachment in the face of disrespect. Plus, Kwame reveals the core negotiation issue most women face (and how to finally advocate for what you truly want), the script for when someone refuses to listen, and the surprising power of indifference. Insightful, practical, and empowering, this episode leaves you ready to be the hero of your own life—no matter who’s on the other side of the table.

  • BREAKING: Diddy Gets Away With It & Women Are Furious — 3 Damning Facts the Jury Totally Ignored

    BREAKING: Diddy Gets Away With It & Women Are Furious — 3 Damning Facts the Jury Totally Ignored
    Jul 3 2025
    Lisa Bilyeu is joined by two powerhouse guests: Dr. Ann Burgess, a pioneering criminal profiler who helped shape the way the FBI tracks predators, and renowned attorney Karen Conti, whose experience spans defending some of the most infamous criminal minds. Together, they unravel the verdict in the highly controversial Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, where Diddy was found not guilty on three out of five serious charges, including sex trafficking—leaving many questioning whether justice was truly served or if power protected the powerful once again. Lisa, Dr. Ann, and Karen dive deep into what happened in the courtroom, shedding light on the complicated realities of coercion, consent, and the manipulation so often at play in cases involving abusive power dynamics. They discuss how the defense’s strategies, jury demographics, and society’s collective misunderstandings about coercive control may have influenced the outcome, and what needs to change to better support survivors and educate the public—especially juries—about these forms of abuse. Despite the heartbreak over not-guilty verdicts, the episode also highlights the significance of the guilty charges and the bravery of women like Cassie and “Jane” who came forward, risking everything to break the silence. This conversation is a call to action: to keep learning, to keep supporting survivors, and to make sure this isn’t a story that repeats itself.

  • The Top 3 Mistakes That Destroy Relationships—From a Divorce Judge Who’s Seen It All | Faith Jenkins (Fan Fav)

    The Top 3 Mistakes That Destroy Relationships—From a Divorce Judge Who’s Seen It All | Faith Jenkins (Fan Fav)
    Jun 30 2025
    This is a Fan Fav episode. Faith Jenkins—celebrated attorney, former Manhattan prosecutor, and current host of Divorce Court and Killer Relationships—joins me for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had about love, relationships, and why so many seemingly solid unions unravel. Faith lays it all out: the hidden issues from our past that quietly sabotage our relationships, the role of resentment and unspoken expectations, and how the external pressure to “just pick someone” can land you in heartache—or worse. With deep candor about her own 20-year journey as a single woman, Faith reveals the self-work, boundaries, and radical honesty required to not only find love but to build a relationship that actually lasts. From the dangers of settling to the critical importance of therapy and emotional maturity, Faith shares the blueprint behind her new book, Sis, Don’t Settle. This episode is a masterclass in learning to love yourself first, embrace rejection without losing your self-worth, and choosing a partner who adds to your happiness instead of completing it. If you want to break cycles of heartbreak and step boldly into lasting, authentic love, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

  • Is Birth Control Destroying Your Hormones? What Every Woman Needs to Know | Dr. Aviva Romm (Fan Fav)

    Is Birth Control Destroying Your Hormones? What Every Woman Needs to Know | Dr. Aviva Romm (Fan Fav)
    Jun 27 2025
    This is a Fan Fav episode. From the very start of this conversation, I was fired up! I brought Dr. Aviva Romm on Women of Impact—an M.D., midwife, herbalist, and author of Hormone Intelligence—to unravel the web of confusion and shame that keeps so many women feeling powerless about their hormones, periods, and health. Aviva exposes the damaging myths we’re taught, reveals how our cycles impact everything from our confidence to our career momentum, and—let me tell you—it’s not about “just suffering” through being a woman. Get ready to find out the best times in your cycle for asking for a raise, why you may want to hide your credit card before your period, and how you can start tracking your unique “normal” so you feel confident, not crazy. Aviva and I dive deep, get super tactical, and, real talk, help you reclaim your power—because knowledge is, truly, power. SHOWNOTES The truth about what’s “normal” vs. what’s common when it comes to women’s hormones and periods How environmental factors—including antibiotics and toxins—affect your hormonal health from childhood Why feeling moody, suffering, or being “out of control” isn’t actually normal for women The life-changing impact of tracking your cycle for confidence, career moves, and emotional well-being Planning your life around your menstrual cycle: confidence highs, energy peaks, and when to avoid shopping sprees How gut health, food choices, and the microbiome influence mood, hormones, and overall vitality The critical link between self-blame, misdiagnosis, and delayed treatment for issues like endometriosis Dispelling myths around birth control: what your doctor probably never told you about side effects How to nurture a positive relationship with your body, pleasure, and sexual desire through each hormone phase Turning lifestyle changes—not quick fixes—into real, lasting hormonal balance and personal empowerment FOLLOW DR.
