About this episode

Welcome to another insightful episode of Women of Impact! I'm your host, Lisa Bilyeu. You know the feeling when you're in a relationship that's going so well, but suddenly you hit a rough patch? It's like everything was sunshine and rainbows, and then BOOM, you're questioning everything. You think, 'If we were so right for each other, why does it feel so hard now?' You’re constantly wondering if this is just a phase or if it’s a sign you’re not meant to be. You start doubting yourself, your partner, and maybe even relationships as a whole.


Well, let me break it down for you! You’re not alone in this. Being in a relationship comes with stages and trust me, they aren't all easy-breezy. We go from the excitement of dating to the honeymoon phase and then hit the power struggle – the make-or-break stage where vulnerability and communication are EVERYTHING.


But don’t worry, homie! Today’s episode is a crash course in navigating these stages with grace and insight. Our special guest, Thais Gibson, is here to guide us through the maze of relationship dynamics.


If you've ever found yourself caught in a whirlwind of relationship struggles and doubted if you could ever find stability and happiness, this episode is your guide to transformation! You’ll walk away equipped to handle challenges with compassion and clarity, and learn how to

turn those tough moments into building blocks for a stronger connection.
