Women of Impact

If you've ever second-guessed yourself around a charming dude, felt your boundaries melting as soon as someone smiles just right, or wondered “how do I spot manipulators and protect myself?”—this is the episode you NEED. I sat down with Aishia Grevenberg, a phenomenal therapist, survivor and absolute badass, to peel back the curtain on narcissists, psychopaths, manipulators, and all the ways they scan for vulnerability and test your boundaries.

Aishia dives DEEP into life lessons from working with men in prisons, recognizing warning signs from the first interaction, and what she learned from surviving her own abusive relationship. We tackle the real science behind manipulation, why simply “being yourself” is actually your superpower, and why emotional responses are every abuser’s favorite tool. All the secrets these guys DON’T want you to know? She gives it to you raw, from the inside. If you want to understand predators, feel secure in your space, and finally stop second-guessing your gut, part one gives you everything you need.

It’s Lisa Bilyeu with another episode of Women of Impact and today we’re talking about something that more than 90% of women have – and that’s massive regret on their deathbed!

From not standing up for yourself, to never finding love, or allowing fear to hold you back, I want YOU to stop blaming yourself and stop wishing things could be different so you can get out of regret and live a more happy and fulfilling life!  

And here with us to talk about overcoming regrets and living a well-lived life is the AMAZING and frikin’ INSPIRING Gladys McGarey. She’s a doctor that is widely considered the “mother of holistic medicine” and the now-103 year old is sharing her life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, happiness, and purpose at ANY age. 

From growing up in India, to life as a doctor and mother of 6, to being served divorce papers after almost 50 years of marriage, Gladys has soooo many inspiring stories and actionable insights to help you listen to your inner voice so you can build your confidence and live life on your own frikin’ terms! 

In this episode, we’re diving into:

- How to stand up for yourself in life, so you can find your voice (hopefully earlier than Gladys did at 93!)

- Why you should BE GLAD and forgive instead of holding onto pain

- How you have to stop looking at the mess if you want to be happy

- The unbelievable power of living life in love and letting go

- How to honor yourself, your feelings, and your differences and LOVE YOUR DAMN SELF!! 

Don’t let regrets be an excuse to NOT live a great life! YOU get to choose what you build your life on, so trust your intuition, and listen to Gladys and her 103 years of wisdom to reclaim your life NOW!
