Lisa Bilyeu sits down with April Mason—femininity coach, relationship strategist, and founder of the All Things Feminine Social Club—to dig deep into the art of commanding respect without losing your cool or sacrificing your dignity. April brings two decades of experience helping women and men transform their approach to love, self-worth, and personal agency. In this first half, April shares practical strategies for navigating relationship challenges, outlining how women can tune into their bodies, avoid fruitless arguments, and make empowered decisions about alignment in love and life.
Lisa and April pull back the curtain on April’s personal journey from self-described “man eater” to a woman comfortable in her own skin, weaving tales of hard-won lessons and transformation. April explains the importance of distinguishing between intuition and fear, how to spot red flags (and why so many of us are drawn to them), and the critical first steps women must take to get out of the pattern of negotiating their self-worth.
