In Part 2 of the transformative conversation on Women of Impact, host Lisa Bilyeu and guest Adam Lane Smith move from the science of intimacy into the step-by-step tactics for building indestructible relationships. Adam, a sought-after relationship coach and author, returns to break down the four levels of peace a woman brings to a healthy partnership… and why executive partnership is the secret weapon for thriving marriages.

This half tackles tough questions on how to spot manipulators, narcissists, and avoidant partners, dissecting the behavioral clues before you get emotionally invested. Lisa and Adam also face controversial truths around infidelity, parenthood, and why major life changes like having a baby push couples to their breaking point. Expect candid insights, role-playing real scenarios, and practical scripts to use in your own relationship. Adam’s methodology empowers women to ask for what they need, set boundaries, and choose partners who offer mutual respect and trust without compromise.
