    If you’ve ever said, “I can’t leave, what about the kids?” or felt yourself minimizing, defending, or twisting reality to survive… this second half is your wake-up call. It's all about breaking out of survivor mode and finally FIGHTING for your life. Aishia Grevenberg is back dropping bombs on the ways women get STUCK: toxic therapy, linguistic Jenga, losing friends, self-blame, comparison traps, and why the fantasy can keep us imprisoned. We tackle the real risks of couples therapy in abusive relationships, how predators build alibis, why women sometimes turn on other women, and what healing actually looks and feels like after you walk away. PLUS: You're gonna get obsessed with Aishia’s genius “spreadsheet method” for spotting your own vulnerability patterns (somebody turn this into an app already because I need it!). SHOWNOTES Why We Minimize Threats, The Real Danger Walking Away vs. Losing Everything: Language Matters How “Kindness” Builds His Alibi Why Women Judge Other Women HARDER—A Self-Protective Mechanism PTSD, Support Groups, & What Healing Actually Looks Like Telling Your Story—How Shame Turns To Strength The Power of Seeing Yourself As Your Own Safe Place Court Battles & Kids—Why The System Isn’t On Your Side Overdrive, Proving Your Worth & The Cycle of Explosions Why “Nice Guy Energy” Can Be the Biggest Danger Support Groups, Vulnerability, and Real Healing Spreadsheet Method: How To Map Your Vulnerabilities Identifying Red & Green Flags—What Actually Matters Building Confidence Through New Experiences Radical Self-Love: Rituals, Tattoos, Embracing Your Inner Child Thank you to our sponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa Cozy Earth: code COZYLISA for 20% off https://cozyearth.com OneSkin: 15% off with code LISA at https://oneskin.co/lisa Follow Aishia Grevenberg: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mytherapistlife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mytherapistlife/ FOLLOW LISA BILYEU: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact⁠ Tik Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.

    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. SHOWNOTES Manipulators & Narcissists: Why They Don’t Have a Type Life Lessons from Las Vegas Jail: How To Assert Your Power No Matter How Scared You Feel Boundary Testing: If You Budge, They Got You What Vulnerability Looks Like to a Predator Presenting Your Best Self? Why That’s Actually Risky Emotional Manipulation Is Always Intentional FBI-Level Mirroring Tactics: How Predators Manufacture Intimacy Real-Life Story: How Kids Spot Your Weakness Consistency Is Your Armor Wanting the Fantasy vs. Owning Reality The “Change Him” Myth: R&B, Love Songs & Losing Yourself Your Responsibility: Keeping Yourself Safe When Abuse Includes Pets—Cats, Shelters, and What Really Keeps Women Trapped Toxic Therapy: Danger Lurking in Couples Counseling Mental Gymnastics—Linguistic Jenga & Minimizing Abuse Why Leaving Means Losing Everything—The Hardest Part Getting Up, Getting Involved—Old Lady Bonnet Energy Why “Help” Isn’t Enough—The Secret Power In Community Strangulation: Why It’s The Most Deadly “Gesture” Thank you to our sponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa Cozy Earth: code COZYLISA for 20% off https://cozyearth.com OneSkin: 15% off with code LISA at https://oneskin.co/lisa Follow Aishia Grevenberg: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mytherapistlife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mytherapistlife/ FOLLOW LISA BILYEU: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact⁠ Tik Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.
