Lisa Bilyeu is joined by Dr. Shannon Curry, renowned forensic psychologist and the expert behind some of the most high-profile evaluations in recent memory, including her role in the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial. Known for her ability to break down even the most complex characters, Dr. Curry joins Lisa to explore the dark, fascinating world of personality disorders, dating red flags, and the subtle ways toxicity seeps into relationships.
In Part 1, Shannon opens up about her unique background in forensic psychology and the lessons she’s taken from analyzing high-stakes court cases. Lisa and Shannon discuss how to spot dangerous personality traits early, why we often miss red flags, and the signs of narcissism and borderline personality disorder. They dig deep into the power dynamics of relationships, the difference between genuine charm and manipulative behavior, and practical tips for protecting yourself—whether you’re dating or already in a relationship. Engaging, raw, and honest, this half of the episode is jam-packed with real-life examples, role-plays, and expert strategies for safeguarding your heart and mind.
