I’m Lisa Bilyeu and welcome to Women of Impact. SHOWNOTES Ambitious folks just want to feel seen. Life cycle: belonging, connecting, leading, creating. Assumptions help the brain save energy, easily. Vasopressin boosts belonging, fuels frequent hookups. Ravens need more time with female targets. Sex boosts brain power differently for everyone. Exploited admin vulnerabilities for secrets over decades. Czechoslovakian spies faked marriage, stole U.S. secrets. Think logically, not emotionally, to avoid mistakes.
