How I Stopped Caring What People Think & Finally Owned Who I Am | Lisa Bilyeu (Fan Fav) Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on May 5, 2021. As humans our desire to be liked and accepted by others is part of the human experience. We are social by nature, so caring what others think about us is something we all experience on some level, but it can feel like kryptonite when you care too much. When it starts affecting our self-esteem, our self-worth, our confidence and our ability to show up, it becomes a problem we need to deal with.

In this episode, Lisa introduces the tactics and strategies she uses and reveals how to turn your kryptonite into a superpower that leaves you in charge with your empathy intact.

If He Does This, Get the F*cK Out! 20 Signs You Might Be Dating a Psychopath | Jim Clemente PT 1 Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

What’s up my amazing crew, it’s your girl Lisa Bilyeu rocking it with Women of Impact! Now picture this – have you ever been out on a date and thought, could this person actually be dangerous? Maybe it’s not even just a date, perhaps it’s an old flame or heck, even a coworker or neighbor. And you’ve wondered, “Is this person a total sweetheart, or am I dating a potential psychopath?” Trust me, I get it!

Seriously, did you realize that 1 in 20 people actually have psychopathic traits? So if you've dated more than 20 people, you might have unknowingly encountered one. That means someone who seems super charismatic on the surface may actually be hiding some pretty scary truths underneath that charming exterior. And before you know it, you’re caught up in something that isn't just about missing paying the bill or forgetting an anniversary—it could be about coercive control, losing your independence, and feeling isolated beyond measure.

And that’s exactly why I’m thrilled to bring today’s guest onto the show. He’s a badass former FBI profiler, Jim Clemente, who can spot these wolves in sheep’s clothing from a mile away. He’s going to break down the signs you need to look out for—those sneaky little cues that many of us miss while dating.

So, my friends, if you’re ready to ensure you never get caught up in a dangerous web of deceit—and let’s face it, who doesn’t want to avoid that—keep listening because Jim’s insights are a must-know for everyone who’s dating, befriending, or just trying to figure people out in this world. We’re diving deep right here, right now on Women of Impact!
