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]

Everything changed when women dared to speak up. This week, with my co-host, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and special guest ex-CIA spy Andrew Bustamante by my side, we’re dissecting the walls of power, money, intimidation, and silence surrounding Diddy’s alleged abuse. We break down Cassie’s mother’s pivotal testimony, explore the mechanics of coercion, sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and lay out practical strategies for any woman feeling trapped by threats and shame. We ask the uncomfortable questions: When the world won’t protect women, what does justice really look like? And—how do we take back our stories, our safety, and our agency, even when going up against the untouchable?

This is a Fan Favorite episode. What up, homies! It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to another fire episode of Women of Impact! Today I am beyond pumped to bring you a conversation with someone I have been dying to sit down with—spiritual mentor, artist, entrepreneur, the incredible founder of Shrimu, AND the phenomenal partner to Rich Roll, the one and only Julie Piatt!
Girl, if you've ever wondered how to find your soul’s purpose in love, business, and life, or if you’ve struggled to balance being a freaking badass independent woman while in a relationship with another powerhouse, this episode is for you! Julie and I get REAL on what it means to grow through relationships (even the hard, failed ones!), how to truly own your path, and the deep spiritual work that actually creates transformation—not just in your marriage, but inside of YOU.
Julie doesn’t hold back, sharing her journey through three marriages, including one that was abusive, and exactly how she turned those painful chapters into the raw fuel for her mastery and spiritual growth. We talk self-love, boundaries, deep partnership, how to communicate when things are messy, AND how the feminine can finally step INTO her sacred, powerful role. Plus, we geek out on how to build a mission-driven company like Shrimu without losing yourself.
You do not want to miss these wisdom bombs. So get comfy, grab your journal (and maybe some vegan cheese, just sayin’!), and get ready for some truth that will absolutely shake up your perspective!

This is a Fan Favorite episode. It’s your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to another killer episode of Women of Impact—the podcast where we don’t just talk about change, we freaking LIVE IT. And today, I’m bringing you something extra special: a Not-So-Solo Q&A, where I get to bring someone SUPER close to my heart onto the show—my very own mum, Diana!
We’re sitting down, raw and real, right in the thick of quarantine, and breaking down some of the juiciest questions you guys have thrown my way:
How do you help a loved one create real transformation in their life?
What actually works to shift your OWN mindset and habits—especially when it feels impossible?
And, let’s get honest, how do you spark change when you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing’s working? (Spoiler: It’s not about nagging!)
You’ll get actionable advice on separating emotion from logic, building new habits from a place of self-love INSTEAD of self-hate, and helping those you love…even when it feels freaking impossible. Plus, you’ll hear the mind-blowing story of how my mum, at almost 70, lost over 115 pounds and transformed her health—not because anyone forced her, but because she found her WHY.

Lisa Bilyeu welcomes author, relationship counselor, and pastor Toure Roberts for an unfiltered conversation about what it truly means to be a high-value man—and how women can spot genuine green flags instead of falling for toxic cycles. With years of experience counseling couples through the ups and downs of partnership, Toure brings powerful insights into the emotional complexity of men, exploring how childhood, cultural expectations, and a lack of affirmation shape the inner worlds and needs of men in intimate relationships.
In part one, Lisa and Toure dismantle popular narratives about neediness, strength, and gender roles, offering both personal stories and practical wisdom. From the long-term pitfalls of viral, drama-driven content to the realities of male vulnerability, they explore what women really need to know about men—and how both partners can participate in building safe, affirming, and deeply connected relationships. If you’ve ever wondered why men seem to have it all together on the outside, but struggle to open up on the inside, this episode delivers answers that might just shift your whole approach to love.

This special series on Women of Impact rips the lid off the high-profile Diddy trial, breaking down in real-time how control, coercion, and emotional abuse unravel—and how victims get trapped, blamed, and silenced.
I sit down with my co-host and criminal behavioral analyst, Laura Richards (who literally changed the law on coercive control) and we talk to psychotherapist, Dr. Nadine (who lived through her own real-life “Wolf of Wall Street” romance turned nightmare) and ABC correspondent & criminal defense attorney, Brian Buckmire, to decode the EXACT playbook predators use + what we MUST look out for.
In this explosive deep dive, we break down:
- What actually makes women—especially young, ambitious, and talented ones—so vulnerable to abusive “charmers” (even the smart, “could never happen to me” types).
- Why women don’t just “leave”—and why that whole question is dangerously missing the point.
- The critical difference between grooming, mentoring, and manipulation—and how to spot when it crosses the line.
- The devastating toll of gaslighting, isolation, cognitive dissonance, and shame—and how abusers expertly use these to keep women silent, scared, and stuck.
- The defense’s playbook: how manipulation continues even in the courtroom, flipping blame on victims and exploiting doubts about “consent.”
- Exactly what to look for to protect yourself and the women you love—long before the point of no return.
Because, as Laura and Dr. Nadine said: it is NEVER your fault. There is NOTHING you could have said or done to deserve abuse. And the mission of this series?
To make damn sure it never happens to another woman, ever again.

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.
