Lewis Howes: I Was a “Bad Boy” — Why Men Withdraw, Cheat, and What Makes Them Commit (Fan Fav) Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

This is a Fan Fav episode. The men you attract and find yourself in relationships with reveal more about you, your wounds, your insecurities and the parts of you that need healing and growth. Looking externally for safety, love, and validation is not only an unhealthy way to move through relationships, it’s also a toxic way of living that doesn’t serve your higher purpose and it will never create the peace you’re looking for.

Not every woman has experienced seeing a man completely open, vulnerable, and exposed. Honestly speaking, sadly, not many women are able to deal with the rawness of men’s emotions. Yet, there is something comforting from hearing today’s guest, Lewis Howes, share about the emotional trigger and pain that men go through.

Lewis went from the cheating ladies man, emotionally closed off, and easily triggered insecure jealous partner-type to a man looking forward to marriage in a committed loving relationship that has healed his some serious past traumas and emotional triggers.

Lewis Howes is the bestselling author of the book, The Mask of Masculinity, ultra successful entrepreneur, host of the podcast and YouTube channel, The School of Greatness.

In this conversation with Lisa, Lewis brings up some challenging questions that are worth sitting with and giving some extra time and attention as you either navigate through your current relationship or spend time alone before your next relationship.

Are You Sleeping with a Narcissist? 13 Red Flags You Can’t Afford to Miss | Dr. Becky Spelman PT 1 (Fan Fav) Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

This is a fan fav episode. I’ve got another incredible 2 part episode of Women of Impact, where we're taking a deep dive into a topic that's plagued too many women with confusion and pain - dealing with narcissistic partners.

Psychologist and mental health advocate, Dr. Becky Spelman joins me to spin a new twist on narcissistic behaviors that trip women up in the bedroom. We’re talking about the complex dynamics of sleeping with a narcissist - an experience that can destroy your confidence, your sanity, and your self-love.

Dr. Spelman exposes 13 tell-tale signs that you're sharing your bed with a narcissist. She also discusses why transitioning from toxic relationships to healthy ones can feel surprisingly challenging, even boring.

Because I want to flood you with practical information you can actually use to change your life, we’re unpacking the goods and exposing new insights and views to help you escape narcissistic abuse and narcissistic romance in the bedroom.

*Why making you climax one minute and ignoring you the next is a power play they love

*How narcissists gaslight you and totally bullsh*t themselves at the same time

*The horrendous experience of being ghosted and devalued and why the “too good to be true” first dates are a major red flag.

*How being dominated and submissive in the bedroom can go from fun and kinky to toxic and tragic fast!

What Single Men Really Think About Love—And Why It Matters More Than You Think | Devon Franklin PT 2 (Fan Fav) Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

This is a fan fav episode. What up homies! Can I tell you how excited I am to have Devon Franklin joining us again for another powerful conversation? Whether you’re dating, divorced or happily single, we’re diving into the love lessons you wish you knew sooner to build a long-lasting relationship. None of us wants to waste time, energy, and effort on the wrong person.

But the spoiler is that this is more about you than the partner you choose to date.

Devon is a preacher, success coach, and award winning film and tv producer who’s back on the dating scene after a recent divorce. This conversation is about empowering you to prioritize yourself in order to create the healthy loving relationships you deserve.

We kick-start part one of this two-part episode diving into:

*Why compatibility and love mean nothing when your core beliefs are not aligned.

*We talk about the danger of compromised values that will break down any relationship,

*And, we get into why longing for love makes you a greater risk (it’s the dating trap you have to be be careful to avoid)

Devon delivers ideas and insights about dating that will improve your ability to date well and navigate potential partners because you learned to selfishly focus on you first!

Today’s episode is about being empowered and mindful of never compromising yourself or your core beliefs for the sake of inauthentic love.
