Lisa Bilyeu sits down with Emmy Award–winning entrepreneur, author, and creator of She Takes on the World, Natalie MacNeil. From launching her first company at just 21 to becoming a guiding force for women ready to embrace their full selves in business, Natalie shares her candid journey of learning how to be both successful and authentically herself—especially in male-dominated spaces. Natalie opens up about the personal challenges she’s faced, from navigating expectations in her family to battling her own limiting beliefs about success and identity. She reveals the transformative advice she received from Arianna Huffington, moments of vulnerability, and the impact of choosing to reveal rather than conceal her true self. Together, Lisa and Natalie dive deep into actionable strategies for breaking down big goals into achievable steps, trusting your intuition, and making space for magic—even when fear tries to shut you down. Natalie also shares her powerful rituals for self-reflection, like writing letters to her future self, and reminds us why documenting our journeys is so essential.

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on December 7, 2022. What up, guys? It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to the Women of Impact podcast, where we're diving deep into the sea of empowerment and coming out stronger on the other side. Today, I'm beyond excited to bring you an incredible episode with none other than my dear friend Nicole LePera, the holistic psychologist extraordinaire! We are tackling something that's affected us all—those moments when we're triggered and explode in ways we immediately regret. Nicole is here to help us break it down and build ourselves back up. She's got the tools and wisdom we need to understand our triggers, navigate through them, and hold ourselves accountable without shame. And because we're such close friends, I found myself being more vulnerable than I expected, which was both surprising and cathartic. So, grab a seat and buckle up.

In the compelling second half of Lisa Bilyeu’s conversation with Jason Wilson, the focus shifts to solution-oriented frameworks and the revolutionary concept of “the comprehensive man.” Jason breaks down the key differences between the traditional masculine man—trapped by stoicism, performance, and aggression—and the comprehensive man, who brings emotional range, compassion, and true partnership into every area of his life. Lisa and Jason walk through the “green flags” of a healthy, emotionally mature partner, drawing a practical roadmap for women and men seeking deep, lasting connections. Jason explores the roles of fighter, provider, leader, lover, nurturer, friend, husband, father, and son, explaining how each archetype transforms when a man is free from cultural conditioning. Together, they address building boundaries, overcoming generational trauma, healing, and how both men and women must re-learn what it means to love and be loved. If you’re ready to drop outdated scripts and build real intimacy, this powerhouse conclusion will inspire you to rethink everything you know about relationships.

Lisa Bilyeu sits down with transformational coach, speaker, and best-selling author Jason Wilson for an unfiltered, eye-opening conversation on men, masculinity, and emotional connection. Jason is the founder of the “Cave of Adullam,” a life training academy for boys and men, and he’s developed a reputation for helping men break free from emotional suppression and cultural programming. With the communication gap between men and women wider than ever, Jason joins Lisa as a much-needed “translator,” decoding what men think but often don’t say. Together, they dig deep into generational wounds, emotional barriers, and the misunderstandings that keep men and women disconnected from one another. Through a game of “Why Does a Man…?” Jason exposes surprising truths about commitment fears, intimacy, cheating, and why men fear vulnerability. Lisa shares her own honest reactions, highlighting the ways that society’s conflicting scripts hurt women, too. Whether you’re struggling to understand the men in your life or looking to heal and set boundaries, this episode is a must-listen.
