How to Start Believing You Deserve More—Even If You Still Feel Broken or Ashamed | Sarah Jakes Roberts (Fan Fav)
This is a Fan Fav episode. Sarah Jakes Roberts brings a raw honesty and magnetic vulnerability to this episode that truly moved me. We dive deep into some of her darkest battles—shame, self-worth, judgment, and those insidious whispers telling us we’re not enough. Sarah reveals how being pregnant at 14 and living as the very public daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes shaped, challenged, and ultimately expanded her sense of what’s possible.
Together, we peel back the layers on toxic thinking, betrayal, loving yourself after your lowest moments, and how to transform your “leftovers” into glory. Whether you feel lost, broken, or just in need of some truth-telling wisdom, Sarah delivers it straight.

How to Be Irresistible: The 9 Rules to Seduce & Captivate Anyone - Anywhere, Anytime | Shan Boodram PT 2
Lisa Bilyeu and intimacy expert Shan Boodram continue their deep dive into the art of seduction—moving from the signature personalities like “the Star” and “the Centerfold,” to building enduring wow factor and how to keep attraction alive in long-term relationships. Shan reveals how confidence is built not through massive, overwhelming change, but small “rivers of confidence” that are unique to your culture, personal style, and chosen sexual icon.
Lisa and Shan discuss aging, attracting as your most authentic self, avoiding society’s ageist traps, and how to ground self-worth outside of fleeting appearance or sex appeal. They close with a frank conversation about the “seven year itch,” explaining why we lose the spark in relationships and exactly what to do about it—drawing from the latest science and real-world intimacy wisdom. Shan leaves listeners with practical, transformational advice on sexual self-ownership, pleasure, and how to reignite connection—both with your partner and yourself.

This is a Fan Fav episode. Ever found yourself spiraling into a cycle of comparison that leaves your confidence in tatters? You’re not alone, homie.

Together, we get radically real on body image, self-sabotage, social media triggers, breaking generational cycles, and modeling self-love for our kids.
