    "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.

    What Psychopaths Like Me ACTUALLY Feel When We Say "I Love You" | Lewis Raymond Taylor PT 2

    This conversation picks up RIGHT where we left off: Digging even deeper into the mind of a self-aware psychopath and how these traits can play out in relationships, success, and personal transformation. In Part 2, Lewis Raymond Taylor gets brutally honest about what it means to feel nothing (not even guilt or remorse) when you hurt someone, why some boundaries come across as ruthlessly cold, and how true self-awareness becomes the ONLY chance at redemption or change. We myth-bust even further: Can you really spot a psychopath in a crowd? Are they born or made? Why are so many powerful leaders, surgeons, and CEOs edging into the dark triad? Plus, Lewis details how he’s used his condition to fuel business, personal growth, and, yep, a global movement of impact, without ever pretending to be anyone but himself. You’ll never look at boundaries, logic, or emotional detachment the same way again.

    What Psychopaths Like Me ACTUALLY Feel When We Say "I Love You" | Lewis Raymond Taylor PT 1

    Ever wondered what it’s like to love someone who literally feels… nothing? In this jaw-dropping episode, I sit down with Lewis Raymond Taylor: serial entrepreneur, author, and self-proclaimed diagnosed psychopath, to dismantle all the myths, fears, and confusion that swirl around relationships with men who have antisocial and psychopathic traits. We go raw and real, from his diagnosis and childhood trauma to explosive first loves, love bombing, manipulation, self-harm, and why your version of “I love you” might not mean a thing to him. Ladies, if you’ve ever doubted your sanity, found yourself reasoning with a man who seems immune to empathy, or been stunned by hot-and-cold affection that makes you question your worth, Lewis pulls back the curtain. You’ll walk away not just with eye-opening warning signs, but with a new perspective on what psychopathy is, how to spot its most deceptive traits, and,most importantly, how to protect yourself from unhealthy relationships before you’re in too deep.
