It’s easy to break down, fall apart or become numb and completely lose yourself along the way. Lisa Bilyeu has experience with navigating change and transitioning from a traditional supportive housewife to being the badass CEO and Co-founder of Impact Theory she now is. In this episode, Lisa and Tom reflect and share the lessons they’ve stumbled through along the way over the last 19 years of marriage to support Lisa’s awakening. Join them as they deep dive into how to get beyond the surface level arguments, discover the value of your frame of reference, and what it truly means to evolve together to be supportive. The trip is bumpy, a little messy, not as graceful as you may imagine or believe, but the way they are honest and committed to each other makes it successful and worthwhile every time.

Therefore, the entire argument should stop instantly, and you should simply say, where's the misperception?” Tom Bilyeu [10:26] “If you want someone to be there when you're weak, you have to be honest about where you're weak.” Lisa Bilyeu [18:02] “So the goal was for me to change my life to break out of the mundane.” Lisa Bilyeu [19:35] “I had to be very aware, and really respectful to the fact that my change is going to impact you.” Lisa Bilyeu [24:16] “We had the goal, we had the strategy, and in that strategy, I got lost, I lost myself.” Lisa Bilyeu [31:30] “So as you're going through that transition, the thing for me to fall back on was, I'm in this forever.
