You’ve probably heard “it’s not how you start, but how you finish” and as cliche as it has become, it is such a powerful statement. Just because life starts out rough and harsh doesn’t mean it remains that way. Vanessa Lachey is a wife, mother, actress, model, and so much more and yet having her mother leave at the age of nine has not held her back. She shares with Lisa the perspective she’s developed over the years that has lead to her success and the release of her first book, Life from Scratch. Vanessa wants everyone to know that “creating your own happy ending,” traditions and happiness is always possible and within reach. If a life of shame and darkness or a string of failures and mistakes make it difficult to see how, she urges you to simply start with a time when you were your happiest and recreate from there.

We strive to be women who stand up for themselves, who walk into any room with total confidence, and who never allow excuses. Becoming that kind of woman takes a lot of work, but the more women we surround ourselves with that remind us of who we want to become, and the more examples of women we see like this, the easier it becomes for us. When you think of badassery at a level that leaves NFL Hall of Famers like Dione Sanders and Michael Strahan nodding in approval, this woman has to come top of mind, Constance Schwartz-Morini. She’s been holding her own, rising to the top, and commanding respect in the sports entertainment industry where men dominate for decades. Constance oozes authentic badassery and beautifully embraces her confidence and vulnerability even when things are uncertain. This episode is dedicated to helping the 20 somethings find their way to more confident 30 something, and to helping the 30 and 40 somethings realize their time for confidence and releasing a victim mindset has come. “The main challenge was what a lot of young women still face, guys getting brought in above me because they have connections. That happened three times. Instead of quitting or giving up I worked ten times harder, it put the battery in my back.” -Constance Schwartz-Morini ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 9-28-22 SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Constance Schwartz-Morini 0:46 | Make Them Respect You 10:14 | Vulnerability Can Boost Confidence 15:43 | Girl, Lose Your Ego 21:40 | Lose The Victim Mindset 27:52 | Badass Leaders Need Support Too 32:16 | High Achievers Can Find Love 42:03 | Find the Right Partner For You 48:20 | Hustle Hard or Quiet Quit? 1:03:00 | Don’t Get Boxed Into Being Arrogant CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Audible: Sign up for a free 30-day trial at https://audible.com/WOI Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.

The relationships you were in that made you doubt yourself because of what someone else told you about you. The times that you tried to stand up for yourself and your partner flipped the whole argument around and had you buying into lies and made the truth so blurry you couldn’t trust what you were seeing and hearing with your own eyes and ears. Staying in a relationship like that is self-destructive. You can’t stay just to keep the peace for everyone else while you suffer in silence. You can’t continue letting yourself down because you try to set a boundary and your partner stomps all over it and mocks you for even trying to have one. Today’s guest, Audrina Patridge, is the MTV reality show star of The Hills and author of the book, Choices: To The Hills and Back Again. She’s sharing the results she experienced from being a chronic people pleaser, and a woman stuck in toxic relationships living with the regret of bad decisions and wrong choices without any consideration for the consequences she would have to face. Audrina shares how she was able to break out of that and start identifying the areas she most needed boundaries and who the enablers were in her life that needed to go. You can break out of toxic relationships, these are solid tips and examples of how you can start on that path of healing and self-love today… ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 10-26-22 SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction Audrina Patridge 0:18 | Stop Settling On Toxic Relationships 10:21 | People Pleasing Is A Choice 16:23 | Choices We Regret Instantly 20:28 | Handling Broken Trust 32:54 | After Trust Is Betrayed 38:40 | Communicate Clear Boundaries 45:20 | Manage Insecurities & Jealousy Follow Audrina Patridge: Website: https://audrinapatridgeonline.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AudrinaPatridge Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/audrinapatridge/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AudrinaPatridge/ LISTEN TO WOMEN OF IMPACT AD FREE + BONUS EPISODES on APPLE PODCASTS: apple.co/womenofimpact ********************************************************************** FOLLOW LISA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lisabilyeu YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

You should never have to walk around not feeling safe just because you are a woman. Being a victim of a crime is horrendous that can cause lifelong trauma and setbacks. There are some stats that report over 40% of women in the U.S. have encountered sexual violence in their life. While fighting back can feel scary and impossible whether you’re five feet tall or 6 feet tall, the alternative of not fighting back is even scarier. In this episode Lisa brings on a 3rd Black Belt Badass to share her moves, tips, and tactics to defend yourself, stand up for yourself, and love yourself through it all.
