There are dozens of reasons why dating nowadays is so hard for men and women. While lack of communication seems to be a significant factor, being able to read the people you date is also part of the equation. Is he asking you out just because he’s interested in sex? He booked reservations at a high-end restaurant you’ve been wanting to go to, does this mean he’s serious about you? You’re having a great time together, what will he think if you decide to sleep with him on the first date? Being able to spot red flags is great, but it helps very little without you being brave enough to address it, ask questions and assess his behavior also. Stephan Speaks, one of YouTube’s favorite relationship experts has a straightforward approach and way of helping women (and men) understand and see the challenges everyone is facing. Dating is complicated and there’s a lot of unhelpful advice being shared with both sexes. This episode is going to help you spot the red flags if he’s only in it for the sex, learn how to better interpret his actions, determine if he’s toxic or just not the guy for you, and figure out how to solve the dating problems keeping you single.

This is a fan fav episode. Seduction is talked about being manipulative. The art of seduction is usually sexually charged with a lack of connection and one motive, to get what you want at someone else’s expense. Well, I have to tell you after talking with Chen Lizra, the social entrepreneur of seduction and empowerment, it’s abundantly clear that influence and seduction have more to do with confidence, self-worth, and pride for all that you are and what you bring to the table. Now, that’s a tool every woman can use in her tool belt. We talk about the misconceptions tied to seduction, why it's a powerful skill in the boardroom that doesn’t have to ever be sexually charged, and what to do if you’re feeling blocked from tapping into your seduction. Later, we get into the truth about attraction and why those butterflies we feel meeting someone aren’t a sign of love at first sight, it’s a big fat red flag for this and after watching this episode with Dr Laura Berman, you’ll never think about those butterflies the same again.

Craving love can connect us—or leave us vulnerable to harm we never saw coming. In this episode, I (Lisa Bilyeu) sit down with evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Anna Machin to peel back the science behind why we’re drawn to love, why it can blind us to red flags, and how manipulators like narcissists and psychopaths use our own biology against us. With fascinating research, actionable advice, and hard-earned empathy, Anna breaks down not only how we get trapped but also the precise path out—so you can reclaim your confidence, trust your instincts, and invite in the healthy love you deserve. SHOWNOTES How love can biologically blind you to manipulation—and what to do about it The “dark triad”: What makes narcissists, psychopaths, and Machiavellians so dangerous in relationships Why our brains shut down red flag detection at the euphoric start of falling in love The addictive chemistry of love: Oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and beta-endorphin explained How emotional abusers isolate you and make you question your reality The real science behind jealousy, what it signals, and when it turns toxic Understanding attachment styles and why anxious-preoccupied types are more vulnerable What makes leaving so hard (hint: withdrawal and isolation) and how to rebuild your life afterward The crucial role of friends, support networks, and self-trust after an abusive relationship Hope after heartbreak: Why real, healthy love is still out there for you FOLLOW DR.

This is a fan fav episode. Relationships can be really fun and exciting, and they can also get a bit messy, awkward and questionable. Even after investing years of your life. Pop quiz for the ladies still searching for the right relationship and for the ones questioning the relationship they’re in now, and you have to be totally honest. Have you chosen the wrong relationship because it beat the idea of being alone? At least you weren’t the single friend, or the one that walked away first. Can you think of someone you dated that clearly only happened because you lowered your standards enough? Has the thought of starting over and walking away from a relationship that obviously had no future kept you in an unhealthy, unhappy, and unfulfilling relationship way past the expiration date? If you answered yes to any of these questions and smirked thinking about your friend, sister, or cousin that would be a HELL YEAH to one or more of these questions, then you’re in for a treat. Today’s guest, Case Kenny, is one of the most influential voices of reason for millennials, an internet entrepreneur and the host of the podcast, New Mindset, Who Dis? Case is talking with Lisa and shares why being alone isn’t just 1000% better than settling for the wrong person, it’s freaking dangerous! Irrational fear of being alone and the stigma that comes with it jeopardizes you being your happiest most vibrant self.

Continuing their illuminating conversation, Lisa Bilyeu and Dr. Andrew Huberman return in Part 2 to unravel even more of the mysteries behind male behavior, relationships, and the neuroscience that underpins it all. Picking up where Part 1 left off, this episode transitions into the hot-button topics of jealousy, male self-worth, and the unique pressures that men face today. Andrew breaks down the pitfalls of toxic jealousy, the motivation behind “more money, more muscle” mindsets, and why so many men struggle with overwhelm and self-destructive coping strategies—including the often-taboo subject of porn. The duo also tackles emotionally charged terrain like shame, vulnerability, and why crying means something so different for men than it does for women. Through honest stories and raw admissions, Andrew shares what helps men build resilience, manage emotional pain, and ultimately open up to healing in partnership. Lisa and Andrew don’t shy away from the cultural shifts facing both men and women, unpacking the future of relationships, marriage, and what it takes to foster genuine intimacy. If you want the real story on male mental health, the role of partnership as a catalyst for growth, and practical advice for creating safer, more compassionate connections—this part is a must-listen.

Lisa Bilyeu is joined by the renowned neuroscientist, Stanford professor, and podcast host Dr. Andrew Huberman. Known for his expertise in brain science and his unique ability to make complex topics accessible, Andrew brings a much-needed perspective to the question: What are men really thinking? With honesty, a deep respect for nuance, and a bit of humor, Andrew answers Lisa’s burning questions about the male brain, uncovering the scientific and social factors that drive men’s behavior in relationships, love, and life. Part 1 dives deep into the neuroscience of falling in love, the impact of male genetics and hormones, and the evolving dynamics of masculinity.

This is a fan fav episode. One of the worst experiences in a woman’s love life is the moment she wakes up to the reality of a verbally abusive, toxic, or unhealthy relationship. It’s so easy to get swept away in a relationship where love turns into a loss of confidence, strength, and a general sense of self. You know this channel is about empowering you to be the hero of your own life. We want you to have the confidence you need to keep fighting for your dream. This episode in particular is a reminder that you have to know your worth to go after the dream you want and deserve. Marina Worre turned her life around from lost and broken to ultra successful and badass. Marina is CEO of Network Marketing Pro and serial entrepreneur that started her first business at 18 years old. In spite of being brilliant enough to start a business at 18, love can really throw us all off course in life. She lost herself and came back to build a stronger, wiser, even more capable Marina 2.0 that now inspires millions of women around the world. This conversation scores high on relatability and total badassery. Marina and Lisa discuss what it took for Marina to arrive at the “I’m done” point of an abusive situation, the power of the thoughts you’re repeating to yourself, right now, and how to start building your own empire of confidence.

This is a fan fav episode. For the highly motivated driven woman reading this, we’ve got one question for you. What are you chasing after? When you show up in your career or your business, are you getting the respect you want or is everyday the battle for your boundaries and peace of mind? Angie Martinez, Radio Hall of Famer, The Voice of New York, Radio Hip Hop Legend, has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in hip hop like Jay-Z and TuPac. Angie went from a young girl with zero experience interning at Hot 97 in New York to being synonymous with hip hop culture and generating value beyond anything she ever imagined. She’s definitely of the Hustle Hard mentality and like many of us she’s had to learn how to speak up and hold her ground in a culture that can be totally intimidating. Angie’s path to becoming the legend that she is was rough, not clearly defined and something we all can relate to. How do you crawl through a mile of crap and become resilient as heck on the other side of it all? You pick yourself up, decide the story you’re going to tell yourself, and learn that there needs to be harmony between what you’re chasing and being content where you are right now.
