If you’re anything like me and are obsessed with true crime and serial killer documentaries then guys, THIS episode is for you!!!

Today’s episode of Women of Impact is ABSOLUTELY PACKED with information and tactics so you can spot manipulators and their sleazy grooming process BEFORE they can sink their teeth into you!!

Too many women feel helpless and powerless in situations where they realize they fell for the wolf in sheep's clothing. The reality is, 1 in 10 people are either a psychopath, sociopath, or a narcissist. And while there are differences between the 3 types of abusers, one thing they all have in common is that they will manipulate and con you for their benefit.

This episode, with former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante, is here to educate and equip you to take control and protect yourself from people who don’t have your best intentions at heart.

Andrew is the absolute expert in spotting these conartists and has spent years of his life and career studying them! So he is super experienced, knowledgeable, and practical when it comes to spotting & shutting down manipulators.

We cover SOOO much in this episode, including:
The 3 warning signs someone is the “1 out of 10” and is actively trying to manipulate and control you
The natural vulnerabilities most women have to being conned, and how to put up guardrails to protect yourself so you can avoid becoming a victim
How real world con artists like the Tinder Swindler, Dirty John, Ted Bundy, and Elizabeth Holmes target and hunt for their victims
International espionage tactics that the CIA and cons use to influence and manipulate people and how you can spot the signs and get out before it’s too late
Little things you can do to break your peoplepleasing behaviors and shut down a manipulator
How you can test the empathy of someone new if you are suspicious of their intentions
The system an abuser will use to SLOWLY manipulate you
Why it’s SO important to be cautious about who you trust and not let new people in too quickly
How master manipulators use seduction, intimacy and sex to control you
Understanding the foundation and context behind seemingly suspicious behaviors in a person
How you can slow things down, protect yourself, and make decisions in your best interest
And SOOO much more!!

Seriously guys, the odds of you coming across a con artist is virtually guaranteed, and whether it’s protecting yourself from a toxic romantic relationship, or protecting your grandma from a “helpful” neighbor that seems a little TOO friendly, learning these tactics can help you STOP the con before it starts and even potentially save your life.
