They Lied About Women’s Brains: The Truth Every Woman Needs to Know | Dr. Lisa Mosconi (Fan Fav) Jun 08, 2025

Show notes

This is a Fan Fav episode. Dr. Lisa Mosconi joins me on Women of Impact to completely reframe how we think about the female brain—and debunk the damaging myth that “bikini medicine” (the idea that women are just men with breasts and ovaries) should guide our health and treatment. We dig into why women are almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s, the striking gaps in research and medical care, and the massive ways that hormones, lifestyle, and stress impact women’s cognitive health, starting from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Dr. Mosconi unpacks the science behind everything from sleep and exercise to diet, stress, and pregnancy’s overlooked impact on brain plasticity. With practical advice, radical truths, and real hope, this episode is the playbook for every woman who wants to understand—and fiercely protect—her own mind.

00:01:04 – The myth of “bikini medicine” and the failure to study women’s brains
How Ambien became a dangerous example of ignoring female biology in medical research
00:07:11 – XX brain basics: Why women’s brains don’t age—or respond—like men’s

Why You Keep Falling for the Wrong Person—And How to Stop Confusing Chemistry for Compatibility | Spirit (Fan Fav) Jun 05, 2025

Show notes

This is a Fan Fav episode. What stops us from finding real love? Is it bad luck, a broken picker… or the fantasy that “chemistry” is the only thing that matters? In this conversation, I sit down with love and relationship expert Spirit to crack open the truths most of us never hear about compatibility, new relationship energy, forgiveness, and how to build a lasting partnership—even when the butterflies fade.

Spirit and I go deep on the difference between chemistry and compatibility (and why confusing the two is a recipe for disaster), how resentment builds if we avoid hard conversations, and what real forgiveness actually looks like. Plus, we get tactical: how to work through grudges, make better “agreements” as a couple, and reignite connection after years together. This episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and myth-busting must-knows for anyone who wants extraordinary love—not just the fairy tale.

SHOWNOTES

00:00 – Spirit on compromise: “If I win and you lose, our relationship loses”
00:16 – Chemistry vs. compatibility: Why sparks don’t equal sustainability
03:03 – The science of new relationship energy—and how it tricks us
05:39 – Questions to ask while dating: Interviewing for your “life mate”
10:07 – Why sex clouds judgment and prolongs “love drunk” states
14:59 – Spirit’s take on forgiveness: Why you can heal without granting instant access
22:22 – Making agreements as a team—and what happens when you clash
27:45 – The power of compromise: Creating solutions where both partners win
33:14 – Who’s responsible for moving past resentment? Why it’s always teamwork
51:47 – 3 immediate steps to start unwinding resentment and reigniting connection

Is It Love or Lies? How to Decode Body Language That Most Women Miss | Scott Rouse May 28, 2025

Show notes

When a man’s words and actions just don’t add up, your gut kicks in—but is it intuition, or paranoia? I’m Lisa Bilyeu, and in this episode, I sit down with world-renowned interrogator and body language expert Scott Rouse, who’s trained with the FBI, to break down the subtle cues that reveal if someone’s being honest, hiding something, or even manipulating you. From decoding mixed signals and love bombing to learning the red flags of a true psychopath, Scott gives us a toolkit for self-protection and radical self-trust. This is essential wisdom for every woman who wants to feel safe, seen, and strong—whether you’re dating, doing business, or just tuning up your radar for the people in your life.

SHOWNOTES

Is he being faithful or just hiding it? How details and “qualifiers” in answers give away dishonesty [00:00:29]
Why psychopaths don’t show fear—and how to spot them through body language and the “psychopathic stare” [00:01:16, 00:11:19]
The dangers of love bombing: How predators mirror your voice & mannerisms to build false connections fast [00:03:09]
Matching and mirroring: When is it bonding, when is it manipulative? [00:05:12]
Nonverbal red flags in relationships: Closed posture, lingering eye contact, asymmetrical smiles, and self-soothing moves [00:06:52–00:13:30]
What your intuition is telling you when someone is “too nice”—and why you must trust it [00:24:20]
Does alcohol make people worse liars? Quick-fire myth-busting on deception [00:26:59]
How Scott’s FBI interrogation tactics—like “us against them”—can reveal truths in any relationship [00:18:09–00:21:54]
Watch for sudden tension, withdrawal, or “stepping back” during key questions—they’re distancing from the lie [00:14:07–00:15:52]
Building your confidence: Never let anyone make you doubt what you’re sensing or seeing in your own life [00:27:40]
