Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word.

My champions, I have sold my chariot on Carvana. It was a lovely SUV, an inexplicably queenly offer. They're even coming to the castle to collect it. Tonight, we feast.

**Lisa Bilyeu** (0:30)
What up guys? This is your homie Lisa Bilyeu here. Something's really been weighing on me recently that I'd like to share with you. Maybe you've been in this position where you've worked your ass off to build your career, your relationships, your reputation, and your whole life. Then someone walks into your world who seems like they have all the right connections, the one who's going to make your dreams come true, that's going to take you to the next level. But then the help seems to come at a cost.
Slowly, you begin to notice that the subtle ways that they control you, how they make it sometimes impossible to say no, how they make your questions, how they end up making you question your worth that you never used to do before.
And you've gotten to the point that you don't actually think that you can make it without them.
And then before you know it, you're the one that's holding.
And then before you know it, it feels like you blink, and all of a sudden they're holding all the power. You feel like you owe them everything, and you've been silenced by the very person that you thought that would help you succeed. Now, I think sadly, so many of us have felt like this at some point in our lives, where someone in a position of power and influence seems to hold all the freaking cards in their hands and uses them to play, manipulate and control us, and trap us without us even realizing it. And unfortunately, we have seen that happen a lot recently in the entertainment industry. And we've seen that same thing play out for how many women have become the victims of PDD. Now guys, I wasn't sure if I should touch the subject. I wasn't sure if I should speak about it. I don't like gossip. I don't like that type of bringing someone down that doesn't make me feel good. You're here so that you can empower yourself, so that you can feel like a freaking badass and go out and lead the life that you want. So I was like, I'm not sure that this is actually the topic. Until I dove in, god damn. When I think about the fact of how many women have been trapped, and I'm gonna be honest, I could have been one of them.
I grew up in England, I dreamt of coming to Hollywood. So if I came to America at the age of 18, and I met someone that knew P. Diddy and they invited me to one of his parties, hell yes, I would have jumped to the chance. If then P. Diddy invited me into a room and said, hey, let's talk about your career. Yes, I would have gone into the room. So how many women have found themselves now trapped by that type of power of money? That is not okay. You come to Women of Impact so that we can empower each other to be able to build the skill sets that we never find ourselves in that situation. And so today, I actually realized I must address it. I must talk about the things that he's been accused of and come and figure out how the hell we make sure that we never get trapped. It is about figuring out the tactics and the signs that we could have spotted and what we could do instead so that we don't end up becoming that bloody victim. Now, it may not be P. Diddy. It may be your bloody neighbor. But let me tell you, it's all one and the same. If someone carries power over you, they are able to manipulate you and put you in a position of victimhood. That is a place we never want to be and that is why you listen to Women of Impact. So I have brought together a panel of experts to help break down all of the allegations around P. Diddy that no one wants to talk about. I want to actually dive into what is true, what isn't, what is manipulation, what is a tactic that has been used over and over again for decades that have made so many women trapped and in order to have this open discussion with Actionable Steps is Defense Attorney Karen Conti and ex CIA spy Andrew Bustamante. We go deep dives to discuss the psychological manipulation, the systemic cover-ups and the abuse of power that Diddy and his associates used to silence and control women, his circle of influence, his, you may want to call it a cult, you may not want to call it a cult. But either way, it is important that we understand what the hell happened. So we actually talk about the patterns of abuse, how the fear of speaking out is actually being exploited even more against women, why so many abusers end up staying hidden in freaking plain sight for years without us knowing, and all of the red flags that we need to actually watch out for so that we can protect ourselves and the people we love from being another victim. Now, by the end of this episode, you are going to feel like you have everything under your control. You're going to understand exactly how abuse and manipulation and power can actually trap even the strongest freaking women, so that we can start to recognize those factors before they even get used. Because, homie, when you learn how to protect yourself from these predators and their deep psychological tactics, you can take your power back and support the women around you, and make sure that you never, ever let anyone use their influence to strip you of your worth and your confidence or your voice ever again. You can tell that I feel very passionate about this guys, because this is one of these things that we have to stop. And here on Women of Impact, this is the place that we make that shit happen. So right now, let's dive in and figure out how the hell this will happen, and how the hell we never find ourselves in that situation. Welcome to Women of Impact.
