Episode Description from the Publisher

Do you ever get the gut feeling someone’s lying…but you can’t quite prove it? Or worry that you’re missing all the red flags because the liar in your life is just that convincing? Then today’s episode is about to be your best weapon. I’m sitting down with the incredible Lena Sisco, former Department of Defense interrogator and literal human lie detector. She’s faced off against terrorists, cheaters, and manipulative masterminds, and now, she’s giving YOU the tools to decode deception in any relationship. We’re tearing back the curtain on lie detection: body language, micro-expressions, the four types of lies, and the sneaky “text bridges” and red flags cheaters use to get away with it. Plus, get the tools to build unbreakable psychological safety and trust in high-stakes conversations. We even break down viral cheating scandals and call out exactly what liars do on camera! No one is off limits. Buckle up, because you’ll never watch an interview, go on a date, or ask your partner a tough question the same way again. SHOWNOTES The #1 question to ask your partner if you suspect cheating Inside Lena Sisco’s background as a military interrogator and deception expert The science of “overselling” and why liars embellish simple answers Getting confessions: The power of trust and psychological safety Why never forcing a confession is the key to honest answers How to build trust in the first five minutes Reading personality and motivations through conversation Analyzing body language: Real-time breakdowns The Bill Gates & Epstein Scandal: Dissecting Melinda Gates’ interview What stress really looks like: swallowing, lip purses, blinking Four Types of Lies: Omission, false statements, embellishments, distortion Text bridges: The “and then…” excuse cheaters always use Why body language is a science (and how Botox throws it off!) Deep dive: Smirks, muscle tension, palms, and unspoken contempt The power of words and avoidance: “Those people,” withholding details Red flags in responses: Over-explaining and evasion Why congruency is everything (words + body + tone) Thank you to our sponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa K18: 10% off with code LISA at https://k18hair.com  FOLLOW LENA SISCO: Website:https://lenasisco.com LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenacsisco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lenasisco11/  FOLLOW LISA BILYEU: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact⁠ Tik Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.
