You ever watch a couple and feel your gut whisper, “Something’s not right here”… but you can’t quite explain why? Homie, THIS is the episode that finally gives language to what your intuition already knows. Former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante is back, and together we break down the viral Lily Allen & David Harbour house-tour video — frame by frame — to reveal the micro-expressions, distancing behaviors, passive-aggression, and emotional patterns that almost no one catches on the first watch. This isn’t gossip. This is about giving YOU the tools to spot manipulation, insecurity, emotional withdrawal, and mismatch long before it ruins your confidence, drains your energy, or makes you dim your damn light. Andrew exposes the real signals of discomfort, resentment, performative affection, sensory-driven conflict, and how small “jokes” can reveal massive cracks in a relationship. We go deep, from abandonment cues, to validation bids, to open-relationship dynamics, to the heartbreaking red carpet moments you absolutely must pay attention to. If you’ve ever ignored your gut… If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “overreacting”… If you’ve ever felt unseen or minimized by a partner… This episode is your permission slip to trust what you see.

This is a fan fav episode. Today we’re unveiling the truth behind cheating. Join me for a thought-provoking two-part episode of Women of Impact where I sit down with Latteras Whitfield for a candid conversation about cheating, which I'll admit is going to be a bit triggering for some of you. Together, we delve deep into the reasons behind Latteras' infidelity and provide valuable insights for women dealing with the aftermath of this painful betrayal. Laterras, the author of Dear Future Wifey, opens up about his personal experiences of cheating multiple times on his ex-wife. He emphasizes that his cheating was never about her but rather a reflection of his own lack of integrity. We explore the factors that contribute to cheating, such as unmet needs, contention, and the misconception that sex with other women means nothing to a married man. This conversation touches on angles we rarely think about, such as the failure of counseling and the lack of open discussions about what sex truly looks like within a marriage. Laterras shares a heart-breaking story about a feather that taught him a valuable lesson on intimacy and unmet needs. And ladies, there's a powerful lesson in it for you too. I know this isn’t easy for some of you to hear, but my goal is to provide healing and foster better conversations in the future. I want you to be able to spot the signs of cheating and take action accordingly, with absolutely no judgment if you decide to stay or leave that relationship. Subscribe to Women of Impact for more thought-provoking content that addresses the silent struggles we face in relationships and in life. Communication and understanding are key to saving broken hearts and facilitating healing in today's complex world of love and commitment.
