Women of Impact

If you thought part 1 was jaw-dropping, you’re NOT ready for the second half. Gregory Hartley and I dive into one of the wildest “he said, she said” true crime stories, where the difference between life and death comes down to tiny, split-second clues in body language. Want to know how to spot a liar in real time? Or how to tell the difference between someone genuinely afraid and someone just putting on a show? This episode is filled with practical, empowering insight that you’re going to use for the rest of your life.
We break down the testimony from a brutal attempted cliff murder (the Koenig case), showing you signs of lying, truthfulness, shock, and residual emotion, with step-by-step analysis you can apply to your own gut instincts. Plus, Greg gives us the science behind culture, gender, “women’s intuition,” and why some people refuse to see the truth (until it’s too late). There’s even a rapid-fire game to test your own skills. This isn’t just for true crime lovers, it’s survival 101 for every woman who refuses to be caught off guard ever again.

Do you ever wonder if you’d know how to spot a dangerous man before it’s too late? Or feel like your intuition is screaming at you, but you just can’t put your finger on why? This episode is an absolute masterclass in reading people, protecting yourself, and never again missing the signs that could save your life. I’m joined by one of the world’s top experts in body language, interrogation, and deception detection, Gregory Hartley. He’s spent decades training military, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies, and now, he’s here to give US the tools to see what others miss.
We break down the infamous Scott Peterson case, why the man who murdered his wife fooled so many, and the real red flags that women too often overlook. Greg walks through the real signals of grief, shock, and deception (in the wild and in relationships), and gives me and all of you a crash course on how to spot liars, manipulators, and the body language tells that might literally save your life. Trust me, you’ll NEVER look at a first date,or a true crime story, the same way again.
