When it starts affecting our self-esteem, our self-worth, our confidence and our ability to show up, it becomes a problem we need to deal with. In this episode, Lisa introduces the tactics and strategies she uses and reveals how to turn your kryptonite into a superpower that leaves you in charge with your empathy intact.

What’s up my amazing crew, it’s your girl Lisa Bilyeu rocking it with Women of Impact! Now picture this – have you ever been out on a date and thought, could this person actually be dangerous? Maybe it’s not even just a date, perhaps it’s an old flame or heck, even a coworker or neighbor. And you’ve wondered, “Is this person a total sweetheart, or am I dating a potential psychopath?” Trust me, I get it! Seriously, did you realize that 1 in 20 people actually have psychopathic traits? So if you've dated more than 20 people, you might have unknowingly encountered one. That means someone who seems super charismatic on the surface may actually be hiding some pretty scary truths underneath that charming exterior.

And that’s exactly why I’m thrilled to bring today’s guest onto the show. He’s a badass former FBI profiler, Jim Clemente, who can spot these wolves in sheep’s clothing from a mile away. He’s going to break down the signs you need to look out for—those sneaky little cues that many of us miss while dating.
