If you thought Part 1 was wild, wait for this. In Part 2, we get down and dirty… religion (yep, my dad said NO to Tom), smashing gender roles, why chores start so many fights, what’s ACTUALLY happening in the bedroom after 25 years, and how we survived me going from silent-housewife to boardroom boss.

To my Ladies, Today’s episode was such a difficult one for me, but I felt called to record it because these issues are tearing soooooo many couples and families apart, and it's time we talk about it! This is me being really extremely vulnerable as I have a conversation with my husband about something that’s been sitting heavy for a long time. I run a female empowerment channel. I love this show. I love you guys. I’m here to encourage women to be freaking badass. And yet… my husband voted for Trump. A man I despise! And when that came out publicly? The backlash was real. And I’ve been navigating our relationship, our differences, and how the hell I even talk about this… for almost a year. So today, I’m bringing my hubby on because we’re finally having the conversation no one wants to have. The conversation people are too afraid to touch. I’ve had so many women come to me quietly like, “Lisa, don’t tell anyone, but…” and then it’s either their partner voted for Trump and they’re terrified of the backlash, or they voted for Trump themselves and feel like they have to stay silent. And when that many people feel like they have to hide? Something is wrong!!! Relationships can’t thrive when you’re walking on eggshells and pretending. So I wanted to be real. I wanted to be honest. And I wanted to show you what it looks like to love someone deeply and still have differences… politics, religion, all of it. I’m Greek Orthodox, he’s atheist. We’ve navigated this for 25 years. It hasn’t always been easy… but it’s been doable. And here’s the key: we’ve never lost respect for each other and we’ve never abandoned ourselves! I don’t expect everyone to “love” this episode. I get it. Everyone has their opinions. But this isn’t about politics. This is about how you stay connected when you don’t agree. How you actually hear your partner. How you handle different views without trying to tear each other down. Because let me be really real, I love my husband more than anything on this planet and his political and religious beliefs hasn't and won't ever change that. So if you’re that person, if you want to understand your partner and navigate differences while still being incredibly happy and solid, please listen with open ears, open eyes, and an open mind. Because if we can learn to have honest conversations with grace, love, respect and without trying to destroy each other? Oh my God… I truly believe we can build a different world. And it all starts with being brave…. Much Love, Lisa B SHOWNOTES Trump, feminism, and the fallout – surviving public backlash The “North Star” in marriage vs. politics Economic collapse, history lessons & ugly truths Abortion – my story, my shame, and working through pain together Globalization, jobs, and why immigration is so damn messy What if Trump “turned” on me? – loyalty, fear, and family first Can you be a Women’s advocate AND married to someone with opposite views? Building on CORE values, not political headlines Interfaith marriages – Greek Orthodox vs. Atheist & mutual respect Raising kids (if we had them!) and value collisions Sex, porn, and mismatched drives – the honest reality Thank you to our sponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa Microperfumes: 60% off at https://microperfumes.com/woi Follow Tom Bilyeu: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomBilyeu Newsletter: https://tombilyeu.com/billion-dollar-principles Starting a business?

When you’ve been hurt by someone you trusted, it feels impossible that you’ll ever let go of the pain and shame around what happened and be able to stand in your power again. The truth is that though you feel like a victim, and you feel taken advantage of, or like you’re completely broken, it is possible to move past this situation and open yourself to love and safety without fear. Najwa Zebian has joined us on Women of Impact multiple times and each time she’s been able to put words to the pain that has blindsided many women and offer a new perspective through which we can move out of survival mode and truly start healing. She’s the bestselling author of Welcome Home, Mind Platter, Sparks of Phoenix and so much more. As a woman she’s experienced the difficulties of life, going against culture, and being open and vulnerable with the wrong people. In this episode, Najwa and Lisa are bringing you a fresh look at setting boundaries. It’s not about keeping people out or giving other people a set of rules to follow, it’s about your personal value and how you see your self-worth. Being a people pleasing woman may have landed you in painful situations, but you can make peace with that version of you and ask yourself the one question that will bring you to tears, healing, and freedom.

You know those moments when you KNOW you’re self-sabotaging, you feel the same triggers come up in every relationship, or you second-guess if you’re “too much” or “not enough”… but you can’t figure out WHY? Girl, you are not alone. Today we are diving into the juicy, sometimes messy, but always REAL world of attachment styles… with none other than the legend herself, Thais Gibson, queen of making neuroscience and relationships make SENSE. I’m coming for every anxious thought, every “do I text him back or run for the hills?” crisis, and all things Girl Gang growth. Plus, Thais is giving you the science and practical quiz to decode your attachment style, as we do it together, live and in real time. No therapy jargon here. We talk: Real-life family drama (We get deep on the Brooklyn Beckham controversy) What to do when YOU’RE the one with the avoidant, anxious, or even fearful avoidant traits (spoiler: you can change, homie) The messy process of setting boundaries (and accidentally overreacting, then feeling guilty #beenthere) The difference between a dismissive avoidant and a narcissist (it’s not the same and we break it DOWN) Why you keep attracting the same toxic relationships (and what to actually do about it, step by step) How to rewire your attachment style… even if it feels impossible after years of baggage and bear-in-the-woods-level triggers (if you know, you know) If you want to finally understand yourself, your partners, and stop the self-sabotage spiral, this episode is your roadmap. Say goodbye to drama and hello to high-value relationships and self-love.

Ready for the real talk? In part two, Dr. Spirit and Lisa Bilyeu get even deeper, unpacking the emotional rollercoaster of love, boundaries, and all those “why does he DO that?!” questions you’ve probably vented about to your girlfriends.

With juicy listener questions, viral video clips, and laugh-out-loud moments, Spirit dishes on how to spot performative affection vs. the real deal, why relationships fall apart when you stop trying, and why it’s totally OK to expect (and get!) more from love.
