    "I Can Manipulate Anyone in 7 Mins" The 5 Lines Narcissists & Psychopaths Use to F*ck With Your Head PT 2

    If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I break free?” or “Am I going crazy?” Part 2 of this episode is your roadmap back to yourself, your sanity, and your strength. Richard Grannon is back as we tear the mask off manipulative dynamics for good: Not just naming the problem but arming you with the survivor’s playbook. We get brutally honest about the devastating fallout of narcissistic relationships, why traditional therapy often fails (or even retraumatizes), and what it actually takes to heal, escape, and never go back. This is about reclaiming your narrative, rebuilding your identity from the ground up, and never being anyone’s pawn, “fixer,” or fantasy again. You will walk away with tactics, scripts, and hard-won hope. SHOWNOTES When even empathy is exploited: the trap of pity and guilt in abuse Moving on: why breaking free from narcissists feels impossible (but isn’t) Giving up vs fighting: the first real step to freedom My own kryptonite and boundaries: what keeps you stuck and why you must choose yourself Four Steps to Healing: Choose yourself – Regulate your emotions – End the fantasy – Build real structure Beyond “survivor”: refusing to let trauma be your only identity How to find a safe therapist: red flags, traps, and what to demand at the start Facing your “dragon”: Why leaving can be the scariest (but most vital) act of all Resources for survivors, STAR Network, and what it means to be “the hero of your own life” Thank you SO much to everyone tuning in and fighting for their healing.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty For decades, we’ve been told that success and spirituality live in separate worlds. One is about achievement, the other about inner peace. In this conversation, John Mackey shares why he believes the two are deeply connected. Reflecting on the journey of building Whole Foods Market, he explores how purpose, intuition, gratitude, and conscious leadership shaped both his business and his life. From navigating near-failure and selling the company to Amazon, to redefining success beyond money and status, this episode is a powerful invitation to lead with more awareness, build with more heart, and create a life that feels as meaningful on the inside as it looks on the outside. In this episode you'll learn: How to Build a Business With Purpose How to Turn Setbacks Into Growth How to Find Joy in Your Work How to Turn Envy Into Learning How to Create a Culture People Never Want to Leave How to Make Difficult Decisions With Compassion How to Stay Connected to What Matters Most There will be setbacks, doubts, and moments when things don’t go according to plan, but those moments don’t define your journey. What matters is continuing to move forward with purpose, staying connected to what brings you joy, and remembering that success means little if it costs you who you are. John’s book, The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life, and Capitalism, talks about why Whole Foods isn’t just a business success story, it’s the story of a retail, cultural, and dietary revolution that has forever changed the industry and the way we eat.

    "I Can Manipulate Anyone in 7 Mins" The 5 Lines Narcissists & Psychopaths Use to F*ck With Your Head PT 1

    You know those relationships where you’re told you’re “too sensitive,” “too needy,” or you just “can’t take a joke”… but your gut says, run? This is the masterclass on narcissists, emotional predators, and the cunning manipulation tactics they use to rope women in, keep them stuck, and leave them doubting their own sanity. I sat down with Richard Grannon, renowned psychological educator and author, who’s made it his mission to expose the dark science behind narcissistic abuse. If you’ve ever felt like you were the only one trapped in someone else’s reality—gaslit, guilted, or forced to play games you had no idea how to win—homie, you are not alone. In Part 1, we break down the actual playbook of narcissists, how they bait their partners, and the psychological patterns that keep women vulnerable to these emotional predators. Whether you’re in it, healing from it, or supporting a friend—this episode will shake you awake. SHOWNOTES Can a narcissist truly love or commit? Psychopaths vs Narcissists How narcissists perform vulnerability to hook caring women  Sex, intimacy, and the weaponization of desire: what narcissists really want Withholding sex as control: Why it hits women at the core of identity Commitment and marriage in the narcissist’s worldview Children as pawns: what having kids means for a narcissist The terrifying truth about intergenerational narcissism Relationship violence: gendered patterns and the hidden dangers The predators playbook: scanning and selecting vulnerable targets Thank you to this episode’s sponsors:  K18: 10% off with code LISA at https://k18hair.com OneSkin: 15% off with code LISA at https://oneskin.co/lisa Monarch: 50% off your first year with code WOI https://monarch.com FOLLOW RICHARD GRANNON: Follow Richard Grannon: Website: https://www.richardgrannon.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richardgrannon YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RichardGrannon STAR Network: https://www.star-network.org.uk FOLLOW ME (Lisa Bilyeu): Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    "Remember Who the F*ck You Are!" You're 90 mins Away From NEVER Being Manipulated or Silenced again! PT 2

    Do you ever wonder why, no matter how “calm” or “rational” you try to be, people find a reason not to believe you? Or why so many women start doubting their own reality (thinking maybe they're actually “crazy”) when all they've really done is survive? If that lands, then this is the show you didn't know how much you needed. In Part 2 of my conversation with the fearless Dr. Jessica Taylor, we’re digging DEEP into how our systems train professionals (from police to therapists), to miss real trauma, why perpetrators become masters at looking innocent, and how women can actually protect themselves against being discredited. Dr. Jessica shares the raw realities of what happens when women finally try to escape abuse: How to safety plan, start building support, and even write your own story when your mind won't let you speak. We also reveal how you can reclaim your power and SPEAK UP, even when your whole body shakes with fear…because I promise, leaving doesn’t make you crazy. It makes you wildly courageous. You’re about to get actionable strategies, the inside scoop on how abusers manipulate the system, and the single most important thing you can do to get your voice back—even if you’re at rock bottom. If you know a woman starting her journey out of silence, send her this episode NOW. SHOWNOTES Reality check: You might be reporting to a perpetrator in uniform Why “charming” abusers fool police, courts, and everyone The new breed of online stalkers: Professionals, not creeps in bushes How society grooms girls to feel responsible for their abusers The final act of abuse: When abusers threaten (or commit) suicide The truth about victim-blaming, even among professionals Step-by-step: Safety plans, writing timelines, and articulating your truth Why victims don’t get lawyers, and how Dr. Jessica’s team is changing that How abusers try to “hoover” you back in at every exit point If you’re scared to speak up, even a little: THIS will help you get your voice back How to find hope, rebuild life, and never forget, you are NOT trapped Follow Dr. Jessica Taylor: Website: https://drjessicataylor.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drjesstaylor  Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/@drjessicataylor9164  Victim Advocacy Research: https://www.victimfocus.com/ Follow Me, Lisa Bilyeu: Website: https://www.lisabilyeu.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Thank you to today’s sponsors: Monarch: 50% off your first year with code WOI https://monarch.com Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa HomeServe: Plans start at just $4.99 a month https://homeserve.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    "Remember Who the F*ck You Are!" You're 90 mins Away From NEVER Being Manipulated or Silenced again! PT 1

    You know those times when you KNOW something is wrong, but everyone around you gaslights you into thinking it's all “in your head”? Or when a woman finally speaks up about abuse, only to be dismissed as “crazy” by her family, the police, even doctors? Homie, grab a pen: This one is going to drop truths that might just save a life. I'm sitting down with the powerhouse psychologist and best-selling author, Dr. Jessica Taylor. She’s known for her unfiltered work helping women who have experienced abuse, writing bombshell books like Why Women Are Blamed for Everything and Sexy But Psycho, and training police and legal pros on the REAL ways women get silenced by the mental health system. Jessica is here to break down why the quickest way to shut a woman up is to call her “mad”, and exactly how this dangerous narrative gets weaponized against women who speak out. We tackle why society is obsessed with pathologizing women, how the court system often falls for it, the horrifying old-school roots of “hysteria,” and how women start to believe these lies about themselves (sometimes with deadly results). And trust me, Dr. Jessica Taylor is about to shatter every stereotype you think you knew. SHOWNOTES Weaponizing Mental Health: Silencing Women Who Speak Out History of silencing women through psychiatric labels Big public examples: Britney, Kesha & the media’s mental health narrative  How victims reporting abuse get labeled psychotic—and not believed  The case of “the man in the attic” and the failures of mental health assessments Mental health used to excuse perpetrators—while discrediting victims Too “attractive” or “unattractive”? Either way, women lose in court Internalized misogyny: Why women so often judge and silence other women The truth about female stalkers—and why they mostly target other women Rom-coms, commercials and the cultural romanticizing of stalking How pathologizing language is used to erase abuse Hysteria, wandering wombs, and the insane medical history that still haunts us The history: Women thrown in asylums for reading, thinking, not marrying Practical tools: How to stop pathologizing yourself and protect your reality Follow Dr Jessica Taylor: Website: https://drjessicataylor.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drjesstaylor  Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/@drjessicataylor9164  Victim Advocacy Research: https://www.victimfocus.com/ Follow Me, Lisa Bilyeu: Website: https://www.lisabilyeu.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Thank you to today’s sponsors: Monarch: 50% off your first year with code WOI https://monarch.com Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa HomeServe: Plans start at just $4.99 a month https://homeserve.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
