If you thought Part 1 was wild, just wait, because now, we’re flipping the script and digging even deeper into the mindsets and tactics you NEED to recognize if you want to protect yourself from psychological warfare. Writer, content creator, and, yes, openly diagnosed sociopath Kanika Batra is back for the second half of our conversation, going even deeper into the “rotation” of romantic partners, how sociopaths weaponize compliments, and the terrifyingly effective 4-act psychological cycle they use to keep you hooked and doubting your sanity.We even bring Kanika’s husband into the studio for a raw, honest look at what it’s like to love and live with a sociopath, and why it actually works (sometimes better than you’d expect). Plus: real talk on sobering up, finding faith, and what to do if you think you’ve got a sociopath in your circle.Learn the tricks (from mapping insecurities to reputational warfare) that could save you from the worst heartbreaks and con-games. And yes, find out what makes women harder to fool, why even “ride or die” friendships can go nuclear, and the crucial (sometimes tragic) differences between a sociopath and a narcissist in relationships.SHOWNOTESThe Perks (and WARNING SIGNS) of Being Friends with a SociopathThe “Rotation” and Dating Playbook: Regent, Placeholder, DecoyHow Women and Men Manipulate Differently, And Why Women Are Harder to FoolPsychological Terrorism: The 4-Act Formula for Gaslighting Inside Kanika’s Marriage: Stability, Manipulation, and Facing the TruthAddiction, Dopamine, and Getting Clean Confessions of a Sociopath: Rapidfire Truths and Petty WinsHow to Spot a Sociopath: Eye Contact, Yawn Test & the Deeper “Mask”Why Rules, Faith, and Structure Actually HelpKanika On Parenting, Self-Worth, and Building a Good LifeThank you to today’s sponsors:Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisaMonarch: 50% off your first year with code WOI https://monarch.comFollow Kanika Batra:Website: kankarose.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kanikabatra/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/kanikabatra Follow Me, Lisa Bilyeu:Website: https://www.lisabilyeu.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeuSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
