This is a Fan Fav episode. Sarah Jakes Roberts brings a raw honesty and magnetic vulnerability to this episode that truly moved me. We dive deep into some of her darkest battles—shame, self-worth, judgment, and those insidious whispers telling us we’re not enough. Sarah reveals how being pregnant at 14 and living as the very public daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes shaped, challenged, and ultimately expanded her sense of what’s possible.

Together, we peel back the layers on toxic thinking, betrayal, loving yourself after your lowest moments, and how to transform your “leftovers” into glory. Whether you feel lost, broken, or just in need of some truth-telling wisdom, Sarah delivers it straight.

Lisa Bilyeu and intimacy expert Shan Boodram continue their deep dive into the art of seduction—moving from the signature personalities like “the Star” and “the Centerfold,” to building enduring wow factor and how to keep attraction alive in long-term relationships. Shan reveals how confidence is built not through massive, overwhelming change, but small “rivers of confidence” that are unique to your culture, personal style, and chosen sexual icon.

Lisa and Shan discuss aging, attracting as your most authentic self, avoiding society’s ageist traps, and how to ground self-worth outside of fleeting appearance or sex appeal. They close with a frank conversation about the “seven year itch,” explaining why we lose the spark in relationships and exactly what to do about it—drawing from the latest science and real-world intimacy wisdom. Shan leaves listeners with practical, transformational advice on sexual self-ownership, pleasure, and how to reignite connection—both with your partner and yourself.

This is a Fan Fav episode. I’m sitting down again with the incredible Dr. Nicole LePera—The Holistic Psychologist—for a radically honest conversation about self-sabotage, self-betrayal, and how our subconscious habits keep us stuck for YEARS if we don’t wake up and intervene. Dr. Nicole doesn’t just break down the science; she offers the practical tools and tiny first steps you need to start making change, even if you’ve failed a thousand times before.

With her signature compassion and “no more hiding” approach, Nicole shows us how overthinking, meaningless routines, and people-pleasing quietly sabotage our dreams. But, most importantly, she gives you a roadmap out. It’s time to reconnect to that inner voice, build unstoppable self-trust, and finally become the hero of your own life—no matter your history.

SHOWNOTES

00:11 – Where self-betrayal comes from: The subconscious’s addiction to the familiar

00:27 – Creating space from your thoughts: Why you don’t need to “think less,” just think differently

00:41 – The daily “small promises” that actually break the cycle of self-defeat
