Today I've got something really special for you. I recently had an incredible live Instagram session with the amazing Thais Gibson, a true expert on relationships and attachment styles. I'm so excited to share this conversation with you because we dive deep into understanding these vital aspects of how we connect and communicate in our relationships.

Thais breaks down the four major attachment styles—securely attached, anxious/preoccupied, dismissive/avoidant, and fearful avoidant—and how each of these shapes our subconscious beliefs about love. We chat about how our childhood experiences mold these styles and the profound impact this has on our adult relationships.

I also get a bit personal in this episode, opening up about my own journey and struggles with health and hormones, as well as my path from being dismissive avoidant to becoming securely attached. Thais shares practical strategies for identifying and transforming our attachment patterns, which I found incredibly empowering.

And guess what? We even touch on the exciting idea of a dating app based on attachment styles! Plus, we delve into the crucial topics of self-validation and emotional regulation. If you're looking to understand your own attachment style better or hoping to improve your relationships, this episode is jam-packed with actionable insights.

They look normal. Charming, even.

Narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths, these are the people who smile at you, love-bomb you, and study you… all while hiding the truth underneath.

So I pulled together some of the most dangerous minds in profiling, psychology, and criminal behavioral analysis to expose the red flags women miss, the manipulation tactics predators rely on, and the gut instincts that can literally save your life.

Homie, this is your crash course in spotting the people who do harm… before they do it to you.

Here’s exactly what we dive into:

How psychopaths hide in plain sight (and why smart women still get trapped)

The subtle behaviors predators use to test your boundaries

Why your intuition is faster (and more accurate) than you think

How charm, charisma, and “perfect partners” mask dark intentions

The psychological patterns that reveal coercive control and danger

This is a fan fav episode. Ladies, if you’re like me then your woman's intuition is something that could use a little help. We try to read people we meet and in meetings, but the truth is we may be misreading a lot of people and missing a lot of potentially great relationships. 

What if I told you that you may be misreading as many as 26 people for every 100 you meet?

First impressions matter and learning how to read cues and verify if your gut is telling you truth or not is a skill we can learn and my homie, Vanessa Van Edwards, the charismatic human behavior detective and recovering socially awkward person, is giving us a masterclass on how to decipher the hidden secrets behind the smile, the handshakes, and quirky quirks that seem like red flags to run away from.

Dating isn’t easy, but we’re making it super easy in this 2 part episode by breaking down:

*What body cues mean ask more questions

*How to speed read your date (and yourself)

*What he’s hiding behind those dreamy bedroom eyes that you should watch out for

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
