  • "When people show you who they are, believe them." Maya Angelou
  • For sure! Red flags can be different for everyone, but things like lack of communication, dishonesty, or disrespect are usually big ones.
  • @4787fhjjk
    After you dance with a narcissist/sociopath/psychopath your eyes are wide open. There are some BAD people who walk this earth. Don’t let them in.
  • As a man I found that the key to managing emotions is not to suppress them but to understand them then learn to let them go.
  • She is such a self-aware speaker. I love how she redirected the personality question to a framework she was familiar with, and then later referenced the manner in which she redirected that question. Sharp mind.
  • This video came as a confirmation for me. I recently removed the "consistent drama" flavor of people from my life. Before, I genuinely believed that I had a health issue. Once I cut ties, though, my energy levels returned, I could focus on my projects, and I rarely feel chronic stress anymore. I thought I was an island, unaffected by other people's affinity for drama. Boy, was I wrong.
  • @suemiller8426
    Narcissism is a real thing, I lived with one for 11 years. To give you a feeling of what it's like try walking on quicksand, no matter what move you make or word you say you sink a little deeper.

    This quote by Voltaire - "Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers." Lewis, you are the definition of greatness! ✨
  • @BM-7888
    These people are everywhere. Doesn’t matter if rich, poor, good looking or ugly. It’s shocking when it’s someone you trusted most or closest to you. Once you educate yourself to the level of spotting them and learn how to move on, that’s strength, power, and wisdom. You win💪🏻😉✨
  • As a born and raised New Yorker, I just really appreciate how everything she says is the most new yorkish advice and it just reaches me.
  • This is soo validating for me. Because in the relationship I was in — whenever there was drama I just wanted to sit and think and find a solution. But the partner I had was always looking for shame, guilt, and blame. It makes sense why I got tired of him.
  • @nellie...
    YES! This information should be taught in schools. I've made major changes in my life since I listened to one of her interviews. Thanks Lewis and Evy.
  • @sheila704
    I love what Evy said about her recovery from her 911 trauma. She regained her sense of what her life is by helping others! Genius
  • @24_xx
    Her interviews are not for the weak minded
  • @sassy_xo
    Its so hard when its family member 😅
  • I respect this ladies service to her country. Respectfully, I also have to say that I appreciate her view, but simply see it as her life circumstance and how she sees the world through the lens of her own life. I don’t wish challenge on anyone, but it does change perspective. Often, for me it’s the people with more life experience, that have suffered for whatever reason that seem to truly want to help others and have the best information to share. And that is exclusively just my opinion and whom I choose to listen to personally
  • I really love Evy Poumpouras, she's a straight talker, insightful and a great educator. Lewis has great guests on and asks good questions and flows well with his guests which is why it's a great show!
  • You have to let go of past traumatic events. You'll never forget. But you can let go of the feeling and the anxiety. That's what I had to do with my previous marriage.
