Description

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. They get into everything from why it’s so hard to walk away, to how to communicate without losing yourself, and the sneaky ways gaslighting shows up (yep, even Taylor Swift can relate).




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.
