This conversation picks up RIGHT where we left off: Digging even deeper into the mind of a self-aware psychopath and how these traits can play out in relationships, success, and personal transformation. In Part 2, Lewis Raymond Taylor gets brutally honest about what it means to feel nothing (not even guilt or remorse) when you hurt someone, why some boundaries come across as ruthlessly cold, and how true self-awareness becomes the ONLY chance at redemption or change.

We myth-bust even further: Can you really spot a psychopath in a crowd? Are they born or made? Why are so many powerful leaders, surgeons, and CEOs edging into the dark triad? Plus, Lewis details how he’s used his condition to fuel business, personal growth, and, yep, a global movement of impact, without ever pretending to be anyone but himself. You’ll never look at boundaries, logic, or emotional detachment the same way again.

Ever wondered what it’s like to love someone who literally feels… nothing? In this jaw-dropping episode, I sit down with Lewis Raymond Taylor: serial entrepreneur, author, and self-proclaimed diagnosed psychopath, to dismantle all the myths, fears, and confusion that swirl around relationships with men who have antisocial and psychopathic traits. We go raw and real, from his diagnosis and childhood trauma to explosive first loves, love bombing, manipulation, self-harm, and why your version of “I love you” might not mean a thing to him.

Ladies, if you’ve ever doubted your sanity, found yourself reasoning with a man who seems immune to empathy, or been stunned by hot-and-cold affection that makes you question your worth, Lewis pulls back the curtain. You’ll walk away not just with eye-opening warning signs, but with a new perspective on what psychopathy is, how to spot its most deceptive traits, and,most importantly, how to protect yourself from unhealthy relationships before you’re in too deep.

It’s Lisa Bilyeu here with a truly BEAUTIFUL episode of Women of Impact for you that will actually change the way you perceive & judge your emotions and how you “deal” with them.

Today I’m joined by the unbelievable Dr. Anita Phillips, a trauma therapist and mental health expert that is SO DAMN GOOD at empowering women like you to actually find safety in your body and your emotions again. 

Dr. Anita gets SOOO real and honest with her incredible insights into WHY we deny our emotions so much and how this has a knock on effect to our confidence. 

The reality is, your emotions are not your enemy – they are actually bodily experiences that INFORM your thinking (not the other way around)!!

We also dive into:

• - How to turn your pain into power (especially after a heartbreak, or when you feel lost or been betrayed!)
• - How your emotions are like hunger pains & what happens when you ignore them
• - Why we negotiate pain & how that, PLUS the fear of the future, holds us back
• - The POWER that comes from sitting with your “WHAT IFs” instead of ignoring them
• - Why you MUST experience the pain or it will never leave you (and will actually multiply!)
• - How confidence is faithfulness to yourself 
• - Why we need love, hope and faith or we will experience a lot of sadness, anger and fear

And that’s just what we cover in part 1 of this 2 part episode!

Dr. Anita has SOOO many amazing experiences and insights to share, so you can stop living in your fears and start to be more powerful and confident in your life.

If you’ve ever felt like sensuality just isn’t for you, or you’ve labeled yourself “not that kind of woman,” think again! In part two of this mind-blowing conversation with Seema Anand, we uncover the modern (and ancient!) blueprint for embodying real, joyful, unapologetic pleasure, at any stage of life.

We dig into why “ornamentation” and beauty aren’t about being still and perfect, but about movement, play, and energy. You’ll never look at confidence, or your own body, the same way again. Plus, (warning: myth-busting ahead!) we zero in on self-exploration, the hidden shame around fantasy, and exactly how to start expressing your needs, even if you’ve been silenced your whole life. The secrets you need to spark desire, stability, and confidence are all right here.

Whether you’re struggling with self-worth, healing from trauma, or just want to bring the spark (back) into your relationship, you will hear techniques, stories, and permission to be your truest, most seductive self, in AND out of the bedroom.

SHOWNOTES

It’s never too late! Awakening pleasure at any age

Why most women have never experienced sex the way they truly want (and how to change that!)

The truth about beauty, movement, and irresistible energy

How excitement, not perfection, creates desire

The nonverbal language of love: ornamentation, movement, dancing for pleasure

Reclaiming your “mobile body”: ancient flower garlands, swinging hips, and taking up space

 Channeling feminine energy: How to start and what it looks like in real life

From boredom to breakthrough: Speaking up for your needs

Overcoming vaginismus: interrupting panic, interrupting self-judgement

Healing after trauma: How the body remembers, what real recovery looks like 

The blueprint to rebuilding confidence after trauma or heartbreak

Have you ever wondered what truly makes a woman irresistibly seductive? What if everything you’ve been told about pleasure (your own, your partner’s, and the whole dance of desire) was rooted in centuries-old wisdom you’ve probably never heard before?

Ladies, I am honored to welcome the incredible Seema Anand: Kama Sutra scholar, author, and the internet’s “patron saint of pleasure”, to the show. This episode is an absolute must for every woman who wants to reconnect with her sensual power, understand the roots of seduction, and break free from outdated notions of what it means to be “good,” “attractive,” or even “enough.” Together, we dive deep into the ancient teachings of the Kama Sutra (trust me, you’ve never heard it quite like this!). Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or just ready to reclaim your pleasure on your own terms, this one brings the real talk you’ve secretly craved.

SHOWNOTES

Overcoming shame around “imperfections”: Age spots, birthmarks, and self-worth

Tactical tips from the Kama Sutra: Why lover’s quarrels are essential

How the Kama Sutra centers women’s pleasure (and why it matters for both partners)

Women’s agency: setting boundaries and taking the lead

Touch as connection; why “naked cuddling” matters

The 24 “erotic nerves” and up-leveling pleasure

Bed death, losing intimacy as partners and parents, and reviving connection

Creating “us time” and relationship foreplay in daily life

Safety as a non-negotiable for seduction and pleasure

Fantasies, shame, and why your wildest thoughts say nothing about your character

Think all psychopaths look like cold-blooded villains? Think again. In Part 2, we dive into the chilling case of Gen Z singer D4vid, examine how manipulative people slip under the radar, and (most importantly) arm you with strategies to spot and outmaneuver manipulators in love and life. World-renowned human behavior and body language expert Mark Bowden returns to show us the power tactics used by narcissists and psychopaths, how "quick set intimacy" works, and what questions to ask yourself to stay safe on dates and in relationships.

We’ll break down why manipulators seem to read your deepest desires, how “love bombing” and gaslighting can hijack your confidence, and why you have to pay attention not just to what people do, but to what they DON’T do. Mark even roleplays the exact tactics predators use, so you can see through the smoke and mirrors for yourself. If you want to make your boundaries ironclad and never be played again, this episode is your armor.

Ever wonder if you’ve secretly dated a psychopath? Statistically, one in twenty people has psychopathic traits, and if you’ve been in the dating game for long, chances are you’ve run into one and didn’t even know.

I’m joined by the world’s #1 Communication Keynote Speaker and expert in Body Language and Human Behavior, Mark Bowden, who’s here to teach us how to spot psychopaths, decode lies, and protect yourself from manipulators before it’s too late.

We break down the infamous Chris Watts case, dissecting the chilling body language and story inconsistencies that revealed the shocking truth.
