Women of Impact

It’s Lisa Bilyeu here with another incredible episode of Women of Impact and today we’re joined by the world’s #1 narcissist expert who is here to help you actually heal and move on from narcissistic abuse!
As a licensed clinical psychologist and expert in narcissistic relationships, Dr. Ramani digs deep into the behaviors and patterns that narcissists use every single day to manipulate the hell out of you and keep you sucked into the relationship.
Most people don’t know this about her, but my girl Dr. Ramani has actually been a victim of narcissistic abuse many times throughout her own life. And in this episode she is sharing some of the lessons she learned from her own experiences and the knock-on effects those experiences still have on her to this day.

In this episode, we’re diving into:
- Societal myths about narcissists that diminish the seriousness of their abuse
- The best way to approach someone you think is in a relationship with a narcissist (and how to respond if YOU’RE the one approached!)
- The self-blame spiral that has you thinking it’s YOUR fault & why you MUST escape it to take your power BACK from the narcissist!
- AND SOOOO MUCH MORE!!

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

So if you’re ready to finally frikin’ MOVE ON from that toxic person in your life then grab a cuppa and listen close homie, because this episode does NOT disappoint!

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.
