Part 2

In Part 2 of this powerful Women of Impact conversation, Lisa Bilyeu and Judge Lynn Toler turn their attention to the crossroads of staying, leaving, and starting over. Judge Lynn shares her strategies for staying calm in the face of deep disrespect, the art of navigating difficult conversations, and the emotional intelligence tactics that have kept her grounded in and out of court.

This half dives into the psychology behind why people don’t leave unhappy relationships… from fear of change and financial insecurity to the hope things might get better and the social myths that hold women hostage. Judge Lynn reveals what truly makes or breaks a partnership, why couples should treat their marriage like a business, and her personal journey of loss and resilience following 34 years of marriage.

Here's exactly what we dive into:
