On today’s episode of Women of Impact, host Lisa Bilyeu dives headfirst into the explosive start of the Diddy trial—a case that’s sending shockwaves through the world of celebrity, power, and abuse. Joined by criminal analyst Laura Richards and defense attorney Karen Conti, Lisa unpacks the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs: abuse, coercion, manipulation, and an alleged pattern of violence going back decades. The trial’s centerpiece? Cassie’s 35-page lawsuit and a damning hotel hallway video that’s impossible to unsee.
Is Cassie a gold digger—or a victim finally being heard? Why do so many women’s voices go ignored for so long? Our experts break down how coercion and power imbalances keep women trapped, expose the tactics defense teams use to discredit survivors, and share crucial signs to help women avoid the trap in the first place. This is more than a celebrity scandal—it’s a pivotal moment for all women.
Tune in as we shine a light on the realities of abuse, challenge the legal and cultural systems that enable it, and share tools every woman needs to protect herself. This is just day one of our special series following the Diddy trial on Women of Impact. Join us as we turn outrage into action, and support every woman’s right to be heard, believed, and empowered.

In today’s raw and revealing episode, host Lisa Bilyeu sits down with the inspiring Cheryl Burke—from Dancing with the Stars—for an honest conversation about protecting yourself from emotional harm and breaking free from self-sabotaging patterns.
Cheryl opens up about her struggles with addiction, childhood trauma, and the relentless inner voice of judgment that once dominated her life. She shares what it was like to be a “functioning alcoholic” at the height of her career, the pain and shame that fueled her drinking, and the pivotal moment that set her on a journey to self-acceptance and sobriety. Cheryl and Lisa dive deep into topics like body dysmorphia, the power of self-awareness, learning to trust your intuition, and the importance of rewriting your own narrative.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” battled unhealthy coping mechanisms, or wondered how to truly love yourself, this heart-to-heart is for you. Cheryl’s story is a reminder that while healing is messy and ongoing, it’s never too late to choose yourself and become the hero of your own life.

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on July 28, 2021. Relationships are never easy, and marriage is harder than most would imagine. With the average length of marriage in the U.S, being just over 8 years, I am happily celebrating 19 years of marriage this year and sharing some of the lessons learned along the way. I am answering your questions about everything from how to know if he’s the “one” to de-escalating those heated arguments that leave you angered and red in the face. Relationships are beautiful when you recognize the amount of work it takes to be in a great relationship, and when you finally realize the “perfect” relationship doesn’t exist and never did.
So, whether you are in a relationship, thinking about marriage, dating or not even started yet, there’s definitely make you stop and think, ‘huh maybe I should give this a try.’ It’s not for everyone, but being married and in a healthy and loving relationship can be one of the best experiences for anyone.
BONUS TAKEAWAYS:
2 Tips for when you find yourself sabotaging your own relationships:
1. Write it down and reflect to explore your feelings in detail with no judgement. When and how did things progress from argument? Exactly was it that triggered your response.
2. Communicate with your partner about exactly what things are triggering you before the next argument. Be open, be vulnerable, and be patient with yourself.
How to disrupt heated arguments before they escalate any further:
1. Recall the argument and identify where would have been a good moment to walk away and take the time to change your mood.
2. Consider writing a letter to yourself to remind you to disrupt the moment.
3. Use something meaningful and significant, such as Lisa’s love chip, to signal to your partner and yourself what’s important.
SHOW NOTES:
Selection Matters | Lisa breaks down why who you choose to be with is critical [0:42]
Sacrificial Love | A love worth sacrificing for starts with open communication [1:52]
Self Sabotage | When killing relationships is a habit, identify your triggers and talk [4:42]

Lisa Bilyeu welcomes Terra Newell, survivor of the infamous Dirty John case, to share her powerful journey of intuition, survival, and self-empowerment. Terra opens up about her harrowing experience with her mother’s boyfriend—a manipulative psychopath who infiltrated their lives, ultimately forcing Terra into a deadly confrontation. With refreshing honesty, she unpacks the red flags she noticed, the family dynamics and generational conditioning that left them vulnerable, and how she learned to trust her gut even when everyone around her doubted her concerns.
Lisa and Terra dive deep into the psychological traps that confident, loving women fall into, from dismissing their instincts to excusing dangerous behavior. Terra shares tactical advice for spotting manipulative partners, the challenges of being heard when expressing concern, and why women are so often taught to appease and forgive rather than protect themselves. Whether you’re here for the true crime story or practical wisdom for self-defense and intuition, the first half of this episode delivers both with courage and clarity.
