Relationship myths, communication pitfalls, and the secret science behind lasting love—today’s guest unmasks it all. On this special two-part edition of Women of Impact, Lisa Bilyeu welcomes Dr. Julie Gottman, renowned clinical psychologist, world-leading relationship expert, and co-founder of the Gottman Institute. With 40 years of transformative experience, Dr. Julie reveals what truly makes or breaks a relationship, why men and women cheat, and what most of us get wrong about emotional connection.
In Part 1, Lisa and Dr. Julie take you on a myth-busting journey through the psychology of infidelity, the truth about “emotional” versus “physical” cheating, and the surprising evolutionary roots of why men sometimes shut down during arguments. Learn the real drivers behind relationship failure, why loneliness—not infidelity—is the ultimate relationship killer, and actionable scripts to resolve conflict without triggering defensiveness.
