Dr. Ramani on Outsmarting Narcissists and Protecting Your Peace (Replay) Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

By now, you’re probably proficient at spotting narcissistic behaviors in people and relationships you are involved with. You may notice gaslighting or maybe you haven’t been able to put a finger on exactly what seems to be off, but if you’re honest you know something isn’t right. Spotting narcissism and knowing someone is portraying narcissistic behaviors isn’t enough if you’re going to protect yourself.

Dr. Ramani Durvasula joins Lisa for round 2 to break down the rules of engagement. Understanding that some women are unable to get away from the narcissistic relationship they’ve been “stuck” in for years does not call for judgement. As Dr. Ramani clearly iterates, leaving these kinds of unhealthy relationships are never easy, and there is also no need for judgement.

Balance Your Hormones Naturally With These Superfoods | Dr. Trevor Cates (Replay) Dec 24, 2024

Show notes

We’ve normalized PMS, bloating, and mood swings so much you can find jokes, stereotypes and commercial products everywhere to treat those symptoms and more. But is it really normal for women to have all of these symptoms?

Dr. Trevor Cate is the bestselling author of the book, Clean Skin from Within and she’s also the owner and founder of The Spa Dr, a natural skin care line. She’s chatting with Lisa to debunk all of the symptoms that have been normalized for women for far too long.

It’s time to start paying attention to the symptoms we have and stop passing them off as the way it is. Dr. Cate shares in her new book how waking up refreshed from a full night’s sleep without coffee first thing in the morning and having energy throughout the day is attainable.

We have to start recognizing these symptoms for what they really are, our bodies' way of getting our attention and letting us know something is off. Diet choices have more impact on our symptoms and our ability to alleviate them by treating the root causes than you know.

Great sex drive and normal appetite and live in balance

Stop Being a Pushover! Set Unshakable Boundaries Today | Women of Impact Panel Dec 23, 2024

Show notes

Boundaries don’t push people away, they can actually make relationships closer. Anna Yusim says, “the stronger your boundaries, the closer you can get to somebody.” Have you ever stopped to think about boundaries in that way? I’m sure many of you, myself included, are guilty of thinking if we have stronger boundaries we’ll end up pushing people away. The fear we face of disappointing people or somehow offending them can easily keep us stuck in a space of not honoring ourselves.

This episode is for all the strong women (even if you don’t feel strong every day) that need a little more assurance that it’s not only okay to have boundaries, but it’s essential to the health of your relationships and critical for your own mental health. Start standing up for yourself (no one else can) and prioritize you, your needs, and what matters for you to flourish in the life you choose to live.

SHOW NOTES:

Tip #1 | Communicate Your Boundary [0:34]

Tip #2 | Set Boundaries with Those Close to You [5:34]

Tip #3 | Know Who’s In Your Corner [14:03]

Tip #4 | Get Clear on Your Priorities [18:30]

Tip #5 | Separate work from your personal life [22:20]
