I don't know if I am the only one but the biggest thing I notice when they speak with each other is that they never interrupt each other. I find it so amazing that they just give each other room to speak while really listening. I feel like I can't finish a sentence without being interrupted or being talked over. I love their dynamic.
Many of us don't have the support people around us, the positive friends or family. That's why we watch these videos, trying to move forward alone, trying to be strong, stay strong.. by ourselves.... watching videos to give us hope...
So true!!! You are not alone in this! Alone and moving right along... We will always be stronger than most because we don't have a crutch to push us along. We stand alone therefore no one can crush us.
Crying isn't a sign of weakness it's a sign of strength. I never understand why people say " I never cry, it's not me" it's a normal emotion that needs to be acknowledged not apologised for
You are so right. It's like Evy is trying so hard not to show emotion in life and she thinks that's a good strong way to be but crying is good and healthy too for people. i actually think it shows power and strength esp in males that cry. It shows they aren't scared or ashamed to do it.
I love the friendship between these two. I think Evy was allowed the space to cry and be vulnerable on camera because she has her friend sitting across from her. And when Lisa squatted down to hold Evy’s hand and be there for her, that was so sweet and empathic. These two are such a beautiful powerhouse team, I love watching their videos. ♥️♥️♥️
I AM UNSTOPPABLE Takeaways: - Adversity doesn’t need to be a bad thing. - Take Responsibility to make yourself feel good. - Accept the situation, feel it, but not let it linger by staying in a Problem Mindset, rather develop a Solution mindset and take action. - Write down 3 things you’re grateful for, 3 things you need to get done, 3 things you could do better next time.
Evy’s stoic attitude reminds me so much of my grandma, a fellow Eastern European woman☺️ this is the type of no-nonsense distress tolerance we all need!
Yes, both empowered Greeks Absolutely it runs in their race. Though many Greeks these days are a disgrace and have watered themselves down XXX BRING IT BACK YOU POWERFUL RACE let these 2 DIAMONDS bring us all back. And since Greeks led the way and the world in Psychology Philosophy,, the Medical field, Mathematics ETC and have taught us all how to walk on our 2 legs.( if it wasn't for the Greeks we would be walking on our 4's( that's our hands and feet for the ones that cant picture this image quick enough.) Bow to the living God first, and then to the Greeks. The Greeks evolved our thinking, our lives, and our past generations and those to come, and were certainly foundational to greatness. God Bless you all.
Growing up in a unhealthy environment, submissive, blamed, punishment, etc…then stepping into the same relationship type and job type….I had no idea that women could be strong and set boundaries. No idea that cruelty was not a normal life. Finding out that others live in civility and with respect was astonishing. Please continue your work and being explicit in dissecting situations and options for change. Thank you
I understand you. I also grew up in a submissive environment. Never had role models. I am also in a submissive work environment, a shitty job with lots of blackmailing and also studying with shitty teachers and colleagues. Had tons of toxic relationships. But i just can´t be evil, it´s not in my nature. I can´t play their games. It takes alot from me to be evil. This just gets me very fustrated and disappointed with mankind. This planet is really tough.
Imagine how many women across the globe just force themselves to accept abuse as normalcy, no matter how hard our souls cry against it... Prayers to world peace and healing
I am funny strong articulate & it makes insecure women sometimes absolutely nuts. How can she get away with that? They have a huge habit of weak voice & self-deprecation.
"THERE IS AN EXPIRATION DATE, FOR THE NARRATIVE, THAT YOU HAVE CREATED." - Evy P. 🎉 Woooooo!!! Did anyone else feel that one! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 🎉 Have mercy on us Evy 😅!!!
I bought Evys book a few years ago, and let me tell ya, I became a stronger version of myself. I moved to the US from Brazil about 10 years ago. My life was so different, I had a lot of friends, life was easier. I was depressed, feeling lonely. Fast forward, I feel that I’m much stronger, I don’t need other people to make me happy, I’m responsible for my own happiness. I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
I moved to US from Brazil and recently became U.S. Citizen. My immigrant officer did whatever he could to intimidate me in the interview but he couldn't . I AM UNSTOPPABLE🔥
Omg i love Evy! Having survived a horrific rape ordeal at the hands of my martial arts instructor the very person meant to teach how to protect against such monsters, it took fifteen years until I’d be ready to report this to police. Since I have though and since he was arrested and investigated, steps have now been taken to protect other victims because of my coming forward and police said I should feel very proud for being brave enough to speak up. I always thought I wouldn’t be believed and would be seen as a trouble maker but that just simply was not true. What I had to say was relevant and it did still matter even 15 years later. If anyone is struggling with the trauma of such a situation know that it’s perfectly safe for you to come forward whenever you feel ready and you will be believed - never give up!
You and the whole world is very wrong about face of martial art. What you experienced is real face of it same what we can see with Dalai Lama being a pedophile on camera that's real face of Buddhism religion. Satan is being and last stop to discover in all of those mystic religions and sports.. sadly that's the truth. Do your own research don't blantly believe me. And your eyes will be opened..widely and wisely
Yes thank you for protecting others by coming forward..🎉 if ever anyone feels like they aren't being believed go to someone that will or does believe you or go to their higher ups. Request possibly a female officer to report it to even possibly and also file a complaint that they made you feel like they didn't believe you.
I get what you're saying, and I've been dealing with mental abuse my whole life, I'm 64. When I finally was too tired to be strong anymore, I went into therapy and started the road to healing. Now, when I'm faced with advercity, it just doesn't bother me nearly as much.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I've been reading Evy's book and it has been a lifesaver. I've had to change my entire people-pleasing personality in order to become a good leader for my team upon getting a promotion. It's a long process but I try to improve bit by bit, day by day, accept my responsibilities and no longer run away from conflicts. Thank you Evy and Lisa for helping me take this journey and reap the results.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE 3 take home messages from this video: 1. Give yourself grace 2. Take ownership of how you act and show up in the world 3. Ask yourself what life do you want to live, don't judge yourself and live that life Thank you for always being raw and honest - this is what I really believe Women of Impact is about❤️
I started crying when evy was talking about her dad. My dad is my rock too. He’s 72 now and survived stage 1 kidney cancer. But I feel like I could be destroyed when he goes. It makes me so scared cuz I know someday it’s gonna happen. I hope when that time comes I have a really strong support system because I don’t know how I will survive without him 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I AM Unstoppable!! I woke up at the age of 52 that people aren’t always kind like myself and I have always stood up for what I believed in! Now I stand up for anyone that thinks I’m a easy target to get me to help them in a unhealthy way! No more of that happening on my time!
@@jessicalynn4415 Me too but I’ve learned these Narcissistic Personalities Will never change and they are out only for themselves..I too am in that boat but I do stand to him I don’t know crap anymore Because I look at if I don’t fight for my rights and take care of me who will! They say the best thing to do is not feed them the chaos I disagree When they get the truth shoved back at them they lay low for awhile Which is good for me since he has cancer and I’m fed up and he can’t work and he has no money I’m his soul supporter and let me tell you is not missed a beat in trying to tare me down! I don’t believe what he says first off I know everything comes out of his mouth is about him not me!! These people are like children and we know how to deal with a child treat it like one! If a child throws a fit on the floor do you fight with it know You tell it when it’s done throwing a fit we can proceed Same thing Look up on Utube Dr. Ramoni PHD Specialist on Narcism for the hard approach and look up Stephanie Lynn for how you got in this in the first place..These people were out in our lives to show us we care more for them then we do us We have ti learn to love ourselves enough to be done with these people! I’m not saying it is easy Because believe me I Somedays feel like I’ve had a stroke nervous breakdown and all rolled into one!! We have to survive how ever that looks Also May I suggest replacing these people with your Heavenly Father for he is the only one that will never ever hurt you besides yourself I have replace my husband with my Father in Heaven when I need to talk I go to the Lord when I need relief I go to the Lord I know the Lord has a plan for me and this is not all my life is to be about… I also know I will get out if this whether the Lord takes him or I put him on the streets which I’m very close to doing and I’m just not that type of a person I can see he clearly cares nothing about me or himself so maybe he needs to get in his hands and knees and meet his Father in Heaven I call Narcissism a Hardened Heart ♥️ I’d your familiar with the Old Testament this was the exact reason Mose went to God and asked for divorcement in writing for these wives whom these men were hurting so badly..It’s against the law in some countries I wish was here in the US .. Take Care of you my friend I bless you may Jesus hold you in all your times of needs Shey
I'm glad Evy cleared that up about the difference between trauma and adversity. I was starting to feel like damn I handle adversity poorly but I had to remind myself that I grew up in dysfunctional family system. The abuse never got better until I moved away. This affected my ability to dealing with obstacles in my life till this day. I admire those people like Evy and Lisa who have faced adversity and come out stronger. That is such a beautiful trait to have.
When Lisa said "I honestly can't imagine putting myself in your shoes and understanding what you're going through. I- I couldn't... But one thing I can say is, it's okay. It's okay however you're feeling right now, give yourself grace," I know we all needed that. God bless Lisa and Evy for sharing their wise encouragement always.
I became homeless this year and I found your video in my feed I think it might be a friend of mine that passed away giving me a sign. A week ago my car stalled and I had to run 2 miles to use a phone because my cell phone died and the home owner called for help and an officer came out to help and he asked if I had anyone and I said no the only person I had that was there for me before was no longer here and he said but you still have them you can't hear them giving advice like before but they're there and to talk to him so I have been and I broke down crying asking him for help and I see your video. The loved ones we lose aren't really gone they're still with us being a light and still helping guide us giving us little signs. And I'm sorry for your loss, your father sounds like a great man to raise a daughter as strong as you and thanks for the video I definitely needed to see it💜
I often feel powerless. I’m a single female Entrepreneur in a male driven industry. I often get crushed gaslighted and made to feel unsupported and not seen. I watch women of impact every time I have a problem or issue in life. And unstoppable has been right on every time. Finding power in myself is so important. Not down talking myself. And giving my self acceptance when bad things happen. Thank you both...I hope to join the super women at the round table and share stories of failure and success.
I have always been fearless, the fixer and now understand that the majority live in denial. Widowed at 29 with two small sons, I never had a choice but to push, come blister or bleed. The word No should be enough. My son just told me that we live in a world where we can no longer speak the truth. I am not a victim, I am stronger and more grateful. I just want peace. We shouldn’t have to fight for something so simple, yet still constantly being pushed at 63. I can only control myself. I see people living just to keep peace. I see that doesn’t work. I always ask myself what role did I play, I have a strong mindset/rules for myself, my trigger is the abuse of others. I just bought your book and I am grateful for women like you. Thank you.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE 1. When you’re facing struggles you are becoming a better problem solver. 2. Don’t stay in the trauma, push through, move forward, 3. Hang around people who see adversity as a challenge so you too, can handle it better vs. staying stuck. Lastly I would love to hang out with you two and learn as much as possible since I am going through an incredibly hard time and rehab from injury after a trauma where someone pushed me into a mosh pit at a concert and I got trampled. By 2023 I will be speaking to women on stages around the world and teaching them how to be truly happy. For now, I need to learn from the knocks and come up a fre@king world class fighter. You two are my inspiration!! 💗
I've been with 3 people when they were dying--my husband, my father and my mother. That kind of pain never totally goes away and it hits you just as hard every time. My mantra during adversity is from the Bible--"this too shall pass".
Yes!!! Take ownership!! I'm so tired of people blaming others for their actions or reactions. You have control over you, no one else. Don't give your power away. Thank you Evy for being vulnerable and real ❤
I am told I am a strong and resiliant person. I have never heard of this lady before. I write about experiences, situations and feelings in my journal. I have found that if I go to my journal I can find answers within myself. It is a mature, responsible and effective way to manage emotions.
Here is a thought: since we tend to write a narrative in our mind when something happens it all depends on the kind of narrative we write. We are the authors. One person writes "why this is happening to me?" and another person "I own my response". They say that all the stress and anger happens between our ears... 😎 Reacting angry, emotionally or feeling hurt is our own decision. Don't give another person that power over yourself, they can't make you feel any way, YOU decide how you want to feel about a situation or a person. Own your decision and be unstoppable!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE! Evy's statement that adversity creates resilience is correct. Every experience is a learning experience. In every situation, the good and the bad; whether it be sunshine or shite... there is always useful knowledge to be gained from it.
I love the analogy of weightlifting to mental resilience because im doing both. I changed my life by going to therapy, changing eating habits, exercising, weight lifting, and spiritual growth. The biggest thing I've done is study mental resilience. When you are in a state of flux and get hit by suffering which happened to me during my transformation, you can create more suffering by negative rumination run rampant. I'm not over the mountain yet, but near the top. I'm determined to go the distance. The biggest thing was seeing my value and feeling my value. "If the mind and heart are torn, there is no peace." For me, I have to say positive affirmations and mantras daily to rid my mind of those negative thoughts, until I can wake up and be at peace.
The hardest person to break up with is the one you've created in your delusional, fantasy-making mind... Avoidants have PHDs in 'sabotaging relationships'! 1. Know your value!!! (Do NOT doubt yourself.) 2. Take yourself and your worth seriously. You need to BE A QUEEN to be treated like one. 3. Don’t give easy access to anyone, at any time. Access to your energy should be expensive. 4. Do NOT only express your boundaries. YOU MUST show them. 5. Always be ready to walk away. 6. Show that you are focused on actions not on words. 7. Have a healthy degree of skepticism. 8. You must be willing to say NO and you must be willing to lose the man, if needed. 9. Never EVER chase a man! A truly worthy woman, (who knows her worth) does not EVER chase a man. Giving the same energy that you're getting is key and if you don't like that energy then move on! NOW! It can be hard but that's when you need to choose yourself over the damn illusion/fantasy. A man who loves a woman will not ignore her, ever, period. So... If he ignores me I will step back and he will lose me. Simple. Simple. Non-dramatic and uncomplicated. I don’t, under any circumstance: play these childish-abusive-controlling mind games. I will only be with a man who values and appreciates me, and treats me as the Queen, I AM. (Daughter of the Most Hight; King of kings!) Because I am a beautiful and kind and divine and sexy and wise and intelligent and magical woman: who knows my worth. Period. Also, We create each moment. This moment contains, through my focus, both positive and negative... I can put my attention on what I lack, what I don't have, what traumas I do have etc... And, I can put my attention on the calm moment that I am in, NOW, the food I just ate, and the fact that my body is satisfied, the shelter I do have... (You get my idea!) Both are here... And now. For the sake of fairness, I will allow myself to cry my pains, in the moment if/when they come/arise, AND also acknowledge the beauty I still have in my life NOW. Pain? Yes. Suffering? Indeed. And, also: wonderous magical divine beauty. Blessings to you!
omg i really love u so much Lisa. (warning its pretty long comment bear with it). u dont know why much u saved my life at a critical situation. faced a rejection . from my dad, on t day i born as a girl child. faced so much hatred from my parents. struggle every bit of life for 22 yrs. escaped to foreign land pursing PhD. yet those sufferings never let me go keep haunting struggles forever. lost 6 yrs of relationship, my 1st love. failed at jobs. rejection failures. broken in every aspc, physically, mentally, financially. but one day i just watched ur video on rel intrv with Mtahew, whom I've been followed for sometime. it wdn't be surprise to say ur channel become a bible to me recently. after watching ur shows. i just told myself. be ready for worst to come. there s gonna be no oasis in my life only desserted lands no matter where i turn. i could feel only scorching sun draining my soul. so be strong nd face it girl...!!! thanks for saving me. one grain out of million.
Agree mental adversity is strength and resilience built over time but don’t neglect the grieving process. And by doing that you will appreciate and understand your strength even more when you get to the other side. It’s very important to allow yourself to feel, cry, mourn and even get pissed off so you can heal. If you’re constantly bucking up/pushing through pain and set backs and not grieving, it is detrimental and will cause major issues. Of course dependent on the circumstance and situation.
Oh Evy. When you cried, it broke my heart. I’m sorry for your loss he was a fighter and im sure he’s proud of you up there❤️ Im unstoppable! I just came back from my Police Oral exam and I’m empowered by you Evy. I have your book right here infront of me and Just love to learn from you. I’m a huge fan thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Evy you gave me the reminder of some dark parts of 2021. Losing my granddad due to lung cancer, losing my hamster Rick. I also had several absence seizures. This was the first year I stood up for myself when I was being bullied.
Awesome you will succeed in all you want, I can tell how super you are without even knowing you somehow. Keep moving forward keeping it all in perspective.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE! I really learnt not to stay in the victim mindset and dwell on why bad things happen, instead I CAN take charge and ownership! Switch to solution mindset which I'm going to be applying from now on. Thank you ❤️
14:00 when she speaks about her dad really gets so raw and emotional. Goes to show you how human you are tolling with emotion . Don’t hide it, don’t suppress it, learn to embrace the pain and manage it
In great need of this one. I've juste listened to 2 talks with Evy and I already feel empowered. Breaking out of the victim position is a process but I'm feeling the walls come down, slowly but surely. Fortunately I've also found a great therapist. This channel is my medicine 🙏🏽
Not sure if this message will ever reach to you both Evy and Lisa, but I can't stress enough on how real, emotional and personal this conversation was. Lost my father 3 years ago, and have never been able to recover since then. It hurts everyday! 😔 Thank you again for sharing this masterpiece ❤️
I’m right there with you. Losing a parent is devastating. I barely get out of bed since my mom was murdered. Staff at Sturdy Hospital beat her forcing her into a wheelchair when she didn’t want an MRI. She was only 77yrs old. She died from catastrophic injuries and two brain bleeds. The investigation is on going but I understand that sadness. When I lost my dad in 2013 I was in therapy for over a year until someone referred me to a psychic medium Pam Padula out of Warwick Rhode Island. She does zoom and FaceTime sessions as well. I healed in one hour with her, that a year of therapy couldn’t heal. I got to talk with my dad and the messages were so healing. Sadly the way my mom died and it being only 4 months, it’s too soon. I pray you find healing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I AM UNSTOPPABLE; this whole concept of facing adversity to make yourself stronger- I love. Instead of being afraid of the challenge- learn to be MORE confident in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, BECAUSE you’ve had enough difficult experiences to know that you are CAPABLE.
I hope Evy gives herself lots of space to cry. Crying is healing. It’s a fact, I always feel better after a cry. Keeping that bottled in will not help with your emotional and mental state. I know in her childhood and line of work she needed and needs to be tough but…it’s okay to cry. Never stop that from happening, it’s a part of loving yourself. Feeling sad emotions is not a bad thing, it’s a part of life! Also love these two. Always have such wisdom to preach, helps me a lot.
I was tough & mentally resilient...now I'm struggling to get back. One too many xyz situations/changes since moving out of state. Connie, YOU CAN DO MORE THAN u think!
A couple weeks ago after I discovered and watched your interview together on this channel, I have subscribed to "Women of Impact" and listened to more videos, found and listened to other interviews of Evy Poumpouras, and read/listened to her book "Becoming Bulletproof". Thank you so much for your incredibly inspiring and empowering content and messages. As evidenced by the many positive messages, reviews, likes, etc. both of you consistently receive, it is clear that I am not the only one who feels this way. Edit to say: I AM UNSTOPPABLE
Evy- I want to say I too lost my Dad to cancer. I cried the pain was so deep. However, a wise old woman told me: "God knows the exact moment not a minute sooner or a minute later that we are born. And God knows the exact moment not a minute sooner or a minute later that we go back to him." It's God's Divine time. May these words help you find peace like they did for me in spirit sister I feel your heart and I wish you the best always.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE 1. 13:00 raw emotion (respect) 2. 18:00 give yourself grace and respect how people deal 3. 21:00 “it is your responsibility” (Podcast times) Respect to you both, great collaboration
You can try to forget and surpress the trauma, but the body does not forget. The trauma will come out either way out or create ilness in the body, or 80 years olds starts getting nightmares from the war they surpressed, I have seen this too many times with my work.
They say that if you speak about a trauma that you have experienced, like the death of a parent, for example, and you still get emotional about it and it brings tears, you are not over that trauma experience and have not dealt with it fully. You are a beautiful, strong woman Evy and you are human too. I feel your heartache here
She made me cry! I survived 4 years of war in Bosnia and she maneged to make me cry!!❤️ Girls,you are so wonderful, so strong and emotional at the same time! You are teaching pepole how to be friends. Thank you,girls! May God bless you! 💖💖
I literally was balling when Evie cried, losing a loved one is one of the hardest heartbreaks you will ever experience in life! Thank you so much for this empowering conversation beautiful ladies! 🙏🏻💞
Wow the part about her father really tore me up... I lost my dad when I was 13, he was also someone who was incredibly strong and I had to watch wither away. It definitely toughens you up!
Amazing. Often we believe we can’t become successful because of growing up in a bad environment. But growing up in a bad environment makes you more likely to over come obstacles for success!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE! Wow! As someone who grew up “inner-city adjacent”, meaning not quite inner city but definitely not suburbia… I can attest to both the benefits and disadvantages to this idea. Being somewhat coddled but not sheltered enough to protect me to the harms of society has cultivated a unique perspective where I am able to appreciate Real Life happening, but yet enough per-view to see the light at the end of the tunnel enough to WANT to persevere and push through. The disadvantages and discouragement that exists in poverty ridden environments should not be glamourized, and most would never just choose this existence for themselves or their kids. Likewise the protective/controllable environment of a safer household upbringing can be curated to such an extent that galvanizes Opportunities as means to build and innovate. Thanks for this interview dialogue Lisa! 👏🏾
I found you trying to find strength losing my mom 5 months ago feel so lost without her in my life and I don’t want to feel weak mom was strong woman went through some many adversity still kept positive about life also people.Thank you and sorry about your dad.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE My favourite takeaway from this episode is the part of taking ownership of your own happiness. To not seek approval from others and take action for yourself. You can't wait for other people to make your life better, and if you want something to change you have to do it yourself. Dont let your happiness and the things you want in life be dependent on other people. I really love the episodes with Lisa and Evy. I loved how Lisa sat down and held Evy's hand when she started crying. It shows how real and considerate Lisa is as a person. I have learned so much from your videos. I loved this quote so much: "I take ownership of how I act and how I show up in the world." It inspired me today to work hard on my goals and keep going.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I read “Becoming Bulletproof” while I was on my diving trip a couple weeks ago. The book is so incredible, there is so much brilliant advise you can integrate into your daily life and make yourself bulletproof. My favorite part of this episode is about different ways you can distract yourself. For me it’s apparently diving. But I really wanna try car racing. Thanks so much for such a great episode Lisa and Evy.
I love you both! I wish that you would have been around when I was a young girl. I'm 60 now and love the energy that you spark in me. It's never too late!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE!💪🏽 Thank you for sharing the knowledge. My favorite takeaway from the episode was to take responsibility and not wait for other people to help you, take ownership. For me it's a big gamechanger, once you're confident and take ownership, I think you become unstoppable! "I'm the leader in my life"- Evy P.
Thanks so much for this Video. She is from the Special Forces, yet she BREAKS DOWN for her Dad❤...i could relate to it too. Thank you Lisa and Evy for this Video. VERY VALUABLE.
I AM Unstoppable! Love these chats between strong women! Overcoming adversity makes us all stronger, growing up as a first generation female allowed us to build resilience to make our families proud
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. Accepting past mistakes, now putting forward a Solution Mindset. Remembering my stance & my capabilities, I know exactly what I bring to the table! Thank you both, always giving amazing collabs. 🧠
Oh man I started crying before she did.. just seeing her so honest and raw makes me want to hug her and say “I know that pain, I went through that, and I had those parents”
I AM UNSTOPPABLE Adversity is necessary and beneficial for resilience training. Adversity is flaccid-fin proofing my dolphin suit!! Be the leader in my own life. Reclaim personal power and authority. Breaking unwanted patterns is up to me. Resist bitching and blaming; take ownership, accept responsibility; admit fault; own it, be solution focused; use disruptors as tools to achieve desired resolution of conflict (inner conflict and with persons.) It's a healthy respectful, honoring choice to utilize distance, time and environment/space to sort things out and sort out yourself.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE! My key take away from this video is that life is not happening to you or me, it is responding to us. I play a role and have an impact in the situations, people and events that either do or do not take place in my life. Take ownership, be mentally resistant and learn to adapt. We are in control of our own reactions and emotions and that is what makes you powerful! I journaled today that I want to surround myself with successful people and those who are actively in the process of not only bettering themselves but bringing up the people around them - I then came across this video! Thank you Evy & Lisa
It’s crazy I needed to see this episode! Exactly what I need! I’m going through a bad storm currently! This is helping me sooo much thank you ! Literally I look at these videos for help and advise because I don’t have much of a female empowering figure in my life 🙏🏼 Thank you to the both of you for all you do! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
You matter and you have gifts the world needs. Learn all about yourself (mind, body, and Spirit), set your boundaries, and love yourself unconditionally because we need your light shining bright. Abundant blessings of joy, peace and love to you all this holiday season!
As a therapist, I appreciate the way you reframed adversity - it gave me more words to use to help people understand why I recommend allowing kids and other loved ones to experience consequences or weather normal human adversity without rescuing them from their adversity/suffering. When we swoop in and problem solve and attempt to remove necessary life struggles, we are doing them a disservice. To clarify, I am not saying to be heartless. Being an empathetic, caring, and encouraging presence in a loved one's life might feel like you're doing nothing, but it is the most effective thing you can do. Just give it a try - be an empathetic witness, willing to sit in the emotions with a loved one without trying to say something to make it better because you have faith in their capacity to make it through. All of us are way more resilient than we know!
This is so profound and EMPOWERING. We are not victims. That awareness of knowing no matter what adverse situation you are dealing with righ now we are GROWING and becoming strong as hell, this awareness is a real life SUPERPOWER. I needed to hear this today and be reminded that what I'm going through today is actually a gift in disguise. You guys rock. Keep soldiering on ladies
Serenity prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. ❤️
What a beautiful moment in this video when Evy recalls the moment with her dad. His position on how to win the war has kept her moving forward in strength. That same strength that still resides within her moves us all forward in strength. Thank you Evy for sharing this.
I appreciate so much that authentic moment where you cried because I went through the same thing with my mom and I know you're a bad ass that it controls your emotions so well but knowing you're a real person with real things to overcome is so powerful. Also appreciate that you didn't edit it out.
I grew up rough as hell. Was almost murdered at 16 and I am one of the most successful, resilient people I know. Im so worried for some of the kids these days. I would never want them to go through what I did (of course not) but they need something besides being in their rooms on their phones ordering everything they need on an app and having it delivered.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH LADIES !!! This is Diamond in our dull skies when it happen! “ Don’t be a recipient of what the world is doing to you ..,” “ give something out there ..” reminds me of what some French people say “ I’m not your trash bin !!” Je ne suis pas ta poubelle “!!! … Mais être belle pour moi-même et l’univers…. We cannot fix others We can fix only ourselves…and get our power back ! Merci beaucoup Lisa and Evy ❤
These ladys are right I am a soft hearted man,with kind gentle empathetic people , but i am tough with wicked horible people. i will never let them dominate or bully me.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. Love these two, they have such amazing insight and inspiration. I heard myself in Evy' & Lisa's comments (21:44) about taking ownership of our actions vs. being the victim. I'm healing from some childhood trauma & narcissistic relationships. It clicked that yes, these can be Traumatic experiences, but once you take responsibility to Understand the Trauma then you can convert it to Adversity. Then you can move on by using the skills you've learned or get help to solve the adversity. It sounds simplistic, but once I moved my Trauma to Adversity I wasn't a victim anymore. I was a work in progress!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE I really appreciated hearing that waiting for someone to fix you or make things great is NOT going to fix anything. It is simply wasting time. Pushing forward, facing adversary and pushing through awkwardness or fear is what develops us and makes us strong. Greatness is cultivated, not handed to you.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Takeaways: •Adversity WILL Always Happen. Don’t try to avoid it. Don’t stay in sorrow. Cope effectively & MOVE forward. •Surround yourself with people who see adversity as a challenge and not something designed to “push you down”. •When adversity hits, dont compjain about it. •Have a problem, FIND a solution. •ZERO pity party. 🙌🏼🔥🔥❤️ •Theres a difference between CHRONIC adversity and adversity that we cannot control. Chronic - you put yourself in a negative position. Adversity (outside our control)- conditions we can’t control. Example: The way we were raised, WHERE we grew up, natural disasters, etc. •Don’t cry or stay in sadness because of the difficulties you have gone through, use the hardships to improve yourself and HELP others. •Adversity helps create mental resilience. •Don’t stay in the trauma, push forward. I am u n s t o p p a b l e. 🙏🏼❤️
I don't know if I am the only one but the biggest thing I notice when they speak with each other is that they never interrupt each other. I find it so amazing that they just give each other room to speak while really listening. I feel like I can't finish a sentence without being interrupted or being talked over. I love their dynamic.
Agree with everything you said.
Yup opposite of the brash attitude of dr Phil show
That is SO true! And so rare these days that I have a conversation without being constantly interrupted.
OMG, you're right! That's skillful!
Wowwwwww literally incredible observation
Lost my dad to leukemia in November and the last words he said to me was I want you to live your life as you please..I miss him everyday❤
You are never alone, foot prints in the sand 🦶
@@kylesalisbury3389🦶🏻
I'm sad😢 I'm so sorry 😞
You r lucky to have a dad who loved you.
Many of us don't have the support people around us, the positive friends or family. That's why we watch these videos, trying to move forward alone, trying to be strong, stay strong.. by ourselves.... watching videos to give us hope...
So true!
Freaking hype dream
So true!!! You are not alone in this! Alone and moving right along... We will always be stronger than most because we don't have a crutch to push us along. We stand alone therefore no one can crush us.
Yes I would agree. Thanks for saying that and making me feel not so alone .
…. And tools !😁
Crying isn't a sign of weakness it's a sign of strength. I never understand why people say " I never cry, it's not me" it's a normal emotion that needs to be acknowledged not apologised for
Never trust the person who is not able to cry or says that never cries.
So true! I wish I could cry at the times that I need and want too. It's such a relief, cleansing, and necessary part of life!!
Crying is taking off the stress. I do not think it is a sign of strength or weakness.
I saw Iron Mike crying
You are so right. It's like Evy is trying so hard not to show emotion in life and she thinks that's a good strong way to be but crying is good and healthy too for people. i actually think it shows power and strength esp in males that cry. It shows they aren't scared or ashamed to do it.
I love the friendship between these two. I think Evy was allowed the space to cry and be vulnerable on camera because she has her friend sitting across from her. And when Lisa squatted down to hold Evy’s hand and be there for her, that was so sweet and empathic. These two are such a beautiful powerhouse team, I love watching their videos. ♥️♥️♥️
Lisa is the most strong gentle person I know on the internet...
Not having strong family ties I didn't get to this as I couldn't relate to their struggle.
I love the clip at the end of them playing video games, like kids! I want to always hold on the that childlike playfulness!
Love these two!
I agree 100%!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
Takeaways:
- Adversity doesn’t need to be a bad thing.
- Take Responsibility to make yourself feel good. - Accept the situation, feel it, but not let it linger by staying in a Problem Mindset, rather develop a Solution mindset and take action.
- Write down 3 things you’re grateful for, 3 things you need to get done, 3 things you could do better next time.
Appreciate this!❤🙏🏼👍🏼
This was helpful. Thank you
Evy’s stoic attitude reminds me so much of my grandma, a fellow Eastern European woman☺️ this is the type of no-nonsense distress tolerance we all need!
Ana it reminded me of my future self even at 52 Just Love these 2 stunning children of God
I love both your channel and this one. Neat to see you here, Ms. Ana!!
She’s Greek.
Lisa and Evy are both Greek
Yes, both empowered Greeks Absolutely it runs in their race. Though many Greeks these days are a disgrace and have watered themselves down XXX BRING IT BACK YOU POWERFUL RACE let these 2 DIAMONDS bring us all back. And since Greeks led the way and the world in Psychology Philosophy,, the Medical field, Mathematics ETC and have taught us all how to walk on our 2 legs.( if it wasn't for the Greeks we would be walking on our 4's( that's our hands and feet for the ones that cant picture this image quick enough.) Bow to the living God first, and then to the Greeks. The Greeks evolved our thinking, our lives, and our past generations and those to come, and were certainly foundational to greatness. God Bless you all.
absolutely! avoid dangerous people though, they often come in packs
Growing up in a unhealthy environment, submissive, blamed, punishment, etc…then stepping into the same relationship type and job type….I had no idea that women could be strong and set boundaries. No idea that cruelty was not a normal life.
Finding out that others live in civility and with respect was astonishing.
Please continue your work and being explicit in dissecting situations and options for change.
Thank you
I understand you. I also grew up in a submissive environment. Never had role models. I am also in a submissive work environment, a shitty job with lots of blackmailing and also studying with shitty teachers and colleagues. Had tons of toxic relationships. But i just can´t be evil, it´s not in my nature. I can´t play their games. It takes alot from me to be evil. This just gets me very fustrated and disappointed with mankind. This planet is really tough.
Imagine how many women across the globe just force themselves to accept abuse as normalcy, no matter how hard our souls cry against it... Prayers to world peace and healing
🙏🏻
❤
I am funny strong articulate & it makes insecure women sometimes absolutely nuts. How can she get away with that? They have a huge habit of weak voice & self-deprecation.
"THERE IS AN EXPIRATION DATE, FOR THE NARRATIVE, THAT YOU HAVE CREATED."
- Evy P. 🎉 Woooooo!!! Did anyone else feel that one! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 🎉 Have mercy on us Evy 😅!!!
I bought Evys book a few years ago, and let me tell ya, I became a stronger version of myself. I moved to the US from Brazil about 10 years ago. My life was so different, I had a lot of friends, life was easier. I was depressed, feeling lonely. Fast forward, I feel that I’m much stronger, I don’t need other people to make me happy, I’m responsible for my own happiness. I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
Welldone 👏🏾That was brave
I moved to US from Brazil and recently became U.S. Citizen. My immigrant officer did whatever he could to intimidate me in the interview but he couldn't . I AM UNSTOPPABLE🔥
I love ❤️ this!!! Makes me so happy to read this.
I was in a very similar situation. I came to the US from Spain
@@mariacurry9780 how long have you been living in the USA? Is it easy to make friends who speak Spanish or English?
There's a fine line between accepting responsibility and being the fall guy in some organizations.
Omg i love Evy! Having survived a horrific rape ordeal at the hands of my martial arts instructor the very person meant to teach how to protect against such monsters, it took fifteen years until I’d be ready to report this to police. Since I have though and since he was arrested and investigated, steps have now been taken to protect other victims because of my coming forward and police said I should feel very proud for being brave enough to speak up. I always thought I wouldn’t be believed and would be seen as a trouble maker but that just simply was not true. What I had to say was relevant and it did still matter even 15 years later. If anyone is struggling with the trauma of such a situation know that it’s perfectly safe for you to come forward whenever you feel ready and you will be believed - never give up!
Proud of you too!!! Also a rape victim here. Thrilled to see you take your power back!!!
I’m so sorry and how terrifying and horrific that must have been. I’m so proud of your bravery to report it!!!!🥰🌻💜
Bless you! I understand the trauma! You are amazing 🌷
You and the whole world is very wrong about face of martial art. What you experienced is real face of it same what we can see with Dalai Lama being a pedophile on camera that's real face of Buddhism religion. Satan is being and last stop to discover in all of those mystic religions and sports.. sadly that's the truth. Do your own research don't blantly believe me. And your eyes will be opened..widely and wisely
Yes thank you for protecting others by coming forward..🎉 if ever anyone feels like they aren't being believed go to someone that will or does believe you or go to their higher ups. Request possibly a female officer to report it to even possibly and also file a complaint that they made you feel like they didn't believe you.
I get what you're saying, and I've been dealing with mental abuse my whole life, I'm 64. When I finally was too tired to be strong anymore, I went into therapy and started the road to healing. Now, when I'm faced with advercity, it just doesn't bother me nearly as much.
Good for you, that's powerful!!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I've been reading Evy's book and it has been a lifesaver. I've had to change my entire people-pleasing personality in order to become a good leader for my team upon getting a promotion. It's a long process but I try to improve bit by bit, day by day, accept my responsibilities and no longer run away from conflicts. Thank you Evy and Lisa for helping me take this journey and reap the results.
You just inspired me to buy her book thank you !
Me too
@@jessicalynn4415 That's great to hear! You're in for a treat, good luck on your own journey to reaching your goals! :)
@@marylopez1742 Glad I could do that! Enjoy the book and keep on keeping on
At first I don't know how to fight back because my job is on the line and I'm the breadwinner. I have a bond to pay
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
3 take home messages from this video:
1. Give yourself grace
2. Take ownership of how you act and show up in the world
3. Ask yourself what life do you want to live, don't judge yourself and live that life
Thank you for always being raw and honest - this is what I really believe Women of Impact is about❤️
I started crying when evy was talking about her dad. My dad is my rock too. He’s 72 now and survived stage 1 kidney cancer. But I feel like I could be destroyed when he goes. It makes me so scared cuz I know someday it’s gonna happen. I hope when that time comes I have a really strong support system because I don’t know how I will survive without him 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I AM Unstoppable!! I woke up at the age of 52 that people aren’t always kind like myself and I have always stood up for what I believed in! Now I stand up for anyone that thinks I’m a easy target to get me to help them in a unhealthy way! No more of that happening on my time!
I’m 34 and I need to start this journey now … I’ve been a target because I’m kind and avoid conflict
Im 47. Same.
Sending love
No fear
I am 52 too and YES ABSOLUTELY XXX KEEP IT UP I KNOW I WILL
@@jessicalynn4415 Me too but I’ve learned these Narcissistic Personalities Will never change and they are out only for themselves..I too am in that boat but I do stand to him I don’t know crap anymore Because I look at if I don’t fight for my rights and take care of me who will! They say the best thing to do is not feed them the chaos I disagree When they get the truth shoved back at them they lay low for awhile Which is good for me since he has cancer and I’m fed up and he can’t work and he has no money I’m his soul supporter and let me tell you is not missed a beat in trying to tare me down! I don’t believe what he says first off I know everything comes out of his mouth is about him not me!! These people are like children and we know how to deal with a child treat it like one! If a child throws a fit on the floor do you fight with it know You tell it when it’s done throwing a fit we can proceed Same thing Look up on Utube Dr. Ramoni PHD Specialist on Narcism for the hard approach and look up Stephanie Lynn for how you got in this in the first place..These people were out in our lives to show us we care more for them then we do us We have ti learn to love ourselves enough to be done with these people! I’m not saying it is easy Because believe me I Somedays feel like I’ve had a stroke nervous breakdown and all rolled into one!! We have to survive how ever that looks Also May I suggest replacing these people with your Heavenly Father for he is the only one that will never ever hurt you besides yourself I have replace my husband with my Father in Heaven when I need to talk I go to the Lord when I need relief I go to the Lord I know the Lord has a plan for me and this is not all my life is to be about… I also know I will get out if this whether the Lord takes him or I put him on the streets which I’m very close to doing and I’m just not that type of a person I can see he clearly cares nothing about me or himself so maybe he needs to get in his hands and knees and meet his Father in Heaven I call Narcissism a Hardened Heart ♥️ I’d your familiar with the Old Testament this was the exact reason Mose went to God and asked for divorcement in writing for these wives whom these men were hurting so badly..It’s against the law in some countries I wish was here in the US .. Take Care of you my friend I bless you may Jesus hold you in all your times of needs Shey
@@angelaandromedas3206 ♥️🤗🙏🏻
I'm glad Evy cleared that up about the difference between trauma and adversity. I was starting to feel like damn I handle adversity poorly but I had to remind myself that I grew up in dysfunctional family system. The abuse never got better until I moved away. This affected my ability to dealing with obstacles in my life till this day. I admire those people like Evy and Lisa who have faced adversity and come out stronger. That is such a beautiful trait to have.
Yes, same here.
When Lisa said "I honestly can't imagine putting myself in your shoes and understanding what you're going through. I- I couldn't... But one thing I can say is, it's okay. It's okay however you're feeling right now, give yourself grace," I know we all needed that. God bless Lisa and Evy for sharing their wise encouragement always.
This was the most impactful for me too
I became homeless this year and I found your video in my feed I think it might be a friend of mine that passed away giving me a sign. A week ago my car stalled and I had to run 2 miles to use a phone because my cell phone died and the home owner called for help and an officer came out to help and he asked if I had anyone and I said no the only person I had that was there for me before was no longer here and he said but you still have them you can't hear them giving advice like before but they're there and to talk to him so I have been and I broke down crying asking him for help and I see your video. The loved ones we lose aren't really gone they're still with us being a light and still helping guide us giving us little signs. And I'm sorry for your loss, your father sounds like a great man to raise a daughter as strong as you and thanks for the video I definitely needed to see it💜
I often feel powerless. I’m a single female Entrepreneur in a male driven industry. I often get crushed gaslighted and made to feel unsupported and not seen. I watch women of impact every time I have a problem or issue in life. And unstoppable has been right on every time. Finding power in myself is so important. Not down talking myself. And giving my self acceptance when bad things happen. Thank you both...I hope to join the super women at the round table and share stories of failure and success.
Hold the badges (the survived adversity) with pride.
I have always been fearless, the fixer and now understand that the majority live in denial. Widowed at 29 with two small sons, I never had a choice but to push, come blister or bleed. The word No should be enough. My son just told me that we live in a world where we can no longer speak the truth. I am not a victim, I am stronger and more grateful. I just want peace. We shouldn’t have to fight for something so simple, yet still constantly being pushed at 63. I can only control myself. I see people living just to keep peace. I see that doesn’t work. I always ask myself what role did I play, I have a strong mindset/rules for myself, my trigger is the abuse of others. I just bought your book and I am grateful for women like you. Thank you.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
1. When you’re facing struggles you are becoming a better problem solver.
2. Don’t stay in the trauma, push through, move forward,
3. Hang around people who see adversity as a challenge so you too, can handle it better vs. staying stuck.
Lastly I would love to hang out with you two and learn as much as possible since I am going through an incredibly hard time and rehab from injury after a trauma where someone pushed me into a mosh pit at a concert and I got trampled. By 2023 I will be speaking to women on stages around the world and teaching them how to be truly happy. For now, I need to learn from the knocks and come up a fre@king world class fighter. You two are my inspiration!! 💗
That is so sweet! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
She deserve to win :))
You will
Get well soon
🙏
I've been with 3 people when they were dying--my husband, my father and my mother. That kind of pain never totally goes away and it hits you just as hard every time.
My mantra during adversity is from the Bible--"this too shall pass".
I’m so sorry for your loss, your dad clearly had a giant impact on you. He gave you the gift of resilience, and you are gifting it to so many more.
Yes!!! Take ownership!! I'm so tired of people blaming others for their actions or reactions. You have control over you, no one else. Don't give your power away. Thank you Evy for being vulnerable and real ❤
Nailed it... yas girl!
I am told I am a strong and resiliant person. I have never heard of this lady before. I write about experiences, situations and feelings in my journal. I have found that if I go to my journal I can find answers within myself. It is a mature, responsible and effective way to manage emotions.
Diamonds are made under enormous pressure! Humans are the same.
That's a beautiful thought ❤️
Here is a thought: since we tend to write a narrative in our mind when something happens it all depends on the kind of narrative we write. We are the authors. One person writes "why this is happening to me?" and another person "I own my response". They say that all the stress and anger happens between our ears... 😎 Reacting angry, emotionally or feeling hurt is our own decision. Don't give another person that power over yourself, they can't make you feel any way, YOU decide how you want to feel about a situation or a person. Own your decision and be unstoppable!
EVY I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOST, GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING A GOOD DAUGHTER, YOU WILL SOME DAY SEE YOUR FATHER AGAIN.
Crying with you Evy
Sending you all the love and healing 🤍
@@LauraKessner Thank you
You're loved and you will beat it 🙏🏾

I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
Evy's statement that adversity creates resilience is correct. Every experience is a learning experience. In every situation, the good and the bad; whether it be sunshine or shite... there is always useful knowledge to be gained from it.
I love the analogy of weightlifting to mental resilience because im doing both. I changed my life by going to therapy, changing eating habits, exercising, weight lifting, and spiritual growth. The biggest thing I've done is study mental resilience. When you are in a state of flux and get hit by suffering which happened to me during my transformation, you can create more suffering by negative rumination run rampant. I'm not over the mountain yet, but near the top. I'm determined to go the distance. The biggest thing was seeing my value and feeling my value. "If the mind and heart are torn, there is no peace." For me, I have to say positive affirmations and mantras daily to rid my mind of those negative thoughts, until I can wake up and be at peace.
The hardest person to break up with
is the one you've created in your delusional, fantasy-making mind...
Avoidants have PHDs in 'sabotaging relationships'!
1. Know your value!!! (Do NOT doubt yourself.)
2. Take yourself and your worth seriously. You need to BE A QUEEN to be treated like one.
3. Don’t give easy access to anyone, at any time. Access to your energy should be expensive.
4. Do NOT only express your boundaries. YOU MUST show them.
5. Always be ready to walk away.
6. Show that you are focused on actions not on words.
7. Have a healthy degree of skepticism.
8. You must be willing to say NO and you must be willing to lose the man, if needed.
9. Never EVER chase a man! A truly worthy woman, (who knows her worth)
does not EVER chase a man.
Giving the same energy that you're getting
is key
and if you don't like that energy
then move on! NOW!
It can be hard
but that's when you need to choose yourself
over the damn illusion/fantasy.
A man who loves a woman will not ignore her, ever, period.
So...
If he ignores me
I will step back
and he will lose me.
Simple. Simple.
Non-dramatic
and uncomplicated.
I don’t,
under any circumstance:
play these childish-abusive-controlling
mind games.
I will only be with a man who values and appreciates me,
and treats me as the Queen, I AM.
(Daughter of the Most Hight; King of kings!)
Because I am a beautiful and kind and divine
and sexy and wise and intelligent and magical woman:
who knows my worth.
Period.
Also,
We create each moment.
This moment contains,
through my focus,
both positive and negative...
I can put my attention on what I lack,
what I don't have,
what traumas I do have etc...
And,
I can put my attention on the calm moment that I am in, NOW,
the food I just ate, and the fact that my body is satisfied, the shelter I do have...
(You get my idea!)
Both are here...
And now.
For the sake of fairness,
I will allow myself to cry my pains, in the moment
if/when they come/arise,
AND
also acknowledge the beauty I still have in my life NOW.
Pain? Yes.
Suffering? Indeed.
And,
also:
wonderous magical divine beauty.
Blessings to you!
Beautiful ❤
That was really good what you wrote. Do true too. Thank you .
I'm not a queen and nor do I want to be treated like one ,thank you very much.
omg i really love u so much Lisa. (warning its pretty long comment bear with it). u dont know why much u saved my life at a critical situation. faced a rejection . from my dad, on t day i born as a girl child. faced so much hatred from my parents. struggle every bit of life for 22 yrs. escaped to foreign land pursing PhD. yet those sufferings never let me go keep haunting struggles forever. lost 6 yrs of relationship, my 1st love. failed at jobs. rejection failures. broken in every aspc, physically, mentally, financially. but one day i just watched ur video on rel intrv with Mtahew, whom I've been followed for sometime. it wdn't be surprise to say ur channel become a bible to me recently. after watching ur shows. i just told myself. be ready for worst to come. there s gonna be no oasis in my life only desserted lands no matter where i turn. i could feel only scorching sun draining my soul. so be strong nd face it girl...!!! thanks for saving me. one grain out of million.
Agree mental adversity is strength and resilience built over time but don’t neglect the grieving process. And by doing that you will appreciate and understand your strength even more when you get to the other side. It’s very important to allow yourself to feel, cry, mourn and even get pissed off so you can heal. If you’re constantly bucking up/pushing through pain and set backs and not grieving, it is detrimental and will cause major issues. Of course dependent on the circumstance and situation.
❤❤❤ True
@@reachlove6779 ❤️ 🙏🏻 😊
Oh Evy. When you cried, it broke my heart. I’m sorry for your loss he was a fighter and im sure he’s proud of you up there❤️
Im unstoppable! I just came back from my Police Oral exam and I’m empowered by you Evy. I have your book right here infront of me and Just love to learn from you. I’m a huge fan thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I heard the pause while was working, and i just came back to check what happened.. that got me emotionsssss
Evy, I see your tears.
Prayers for that area of your life.
Even us lions have moments.
Thanks for being so real 💐 💐 💐
Evy you gave me the reminder of some dark parts of 2021. Losing my granddad due to lung cancer, losing my hamster Rick. I also had several absence seizures. This was the first year I stood up for myself when I was being bullied.
♥️ bigg hug
You are getting stronger!😊 what is an absence seizure?
Awesome you will succeed in all you want, I can tell how super you are without even knowing you somehow. Keep moving forward keeping it all in perspective.
If you had/have great parents this is a lot easier, but not everyone does and if it's the parent that was putting you down it's a daily struggle..
I AM UNSTOPPABLE! I really learnt not to stay in the victim mindset and dwell on why bad things happen, instead I CAN take charge and ownership!
Switch to solution mindset which I'm going to be applying from now on.
Thank you ❤️
Awesome 👏🏾
14:00 when she speaks about her dad really gets so raw and emotional. Goes to show you how human you are tolling with emotion . Don’t hide it, don’t suppress it, learn to embrace the pain and manage it
The way Lisa comforted her made me cry
In great need of this one. I've juste listened to 2 talks with Evy and I already feel empowered. Breaking out of the victim position is a process but I'm feeling the walls come down, slowly but surely. Fortunately I've also found a great therapist. This channel is my medicine 🙏🏽
Thanks sweetie! Look forward to seeing you there!!
Wonderful stated, I needed to read this 💙💚☀️
Hi,Lisa, listening to your video really helps me
Yes!!!!👍🌱🌻🦋🌠🦉🐬
I never thought of Adversity as A Good Thing. Thank you .
Not sure if this message will ever reach to you both Evy and Lisa, but I can't stress enough on how real, emotional and personal this conversation was. Lost my father 3 years ago, and have never been able to recover since then. It hurts everyday! 😔
Thank you again for sharing this masterpiece ❤️
I’m right there with you. Losing a parent is devastating. I barely get out of bed since my mom was murdered. Staff at Sturdy Hospital beat her forcing her into a wheelchair when she didn’t want an MRI. She was only 77yrs old. She died from catastrophic injuries and two brain bleeds. The investigation is on going but I understand that sadness. When I lost my dad in 2013 I was in therapy for over a year until someone referred me to a psychic medium Pam Padula out of Warwick Rhode Island. She does zoom and FaceTime sessions as well. I healed in one hour with her, that a year of therapy couldn’t heal. I got to talk with my dad and the messages were so healing. Sadly the way my mom died and it being only 4 months, it’s too soon. I pray you find healing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Neha. T Bless you my dear. Thanks for the courage of posting this
Bless u too Jennifer Shannon ♡
@@Lendingyourlight I feel your pain, my friend. Sending you all the strength and love.
@@impendingblessing2616 thank you 🙏🏼
" How are we going to win the war if your acting that, we gotta keep pushing forward. " OMGGG! Amazing.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE; this whole concept of facing adversity to make yourself stronger- I love. Instead of being afraid of the challenge- learn to be MORE confident in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, BECAUSE you’ve had enough difficult experiences to know that you are CAPABLE.
I hope Evy gives herself lots of space to cry. Crying is healing. It’s a fact, I always feel better after a cry. Keeping that bottled in will not help with your emotional and mental state. I know in her childhood and line of work she needed and needs to be tough but…it’s okay to cry. Never stop that from happening, it’s a part of loving yourself. Feeling sad emotions is not a bad thing, it’s a part of life!
Also love these two. Always have such wisdom to preach, helps me a lot.
Thank you for making the distinction between trauma and adversity 🙏❤
I was tough & mentally resilient...now I'm struggling to get back. One too many xyz situations/changes since moving out of state. Connie, YOU CAN DO MORE THAN u think!
Thank you Evy for your vulnerability. My father passed away of cancer as well and what you said in Greek really struck a cord. I am unstoppable ❤️
I am seriously addicted to this person! My tears fell as her tears fell! She is so amazing! 😭🥰
A couple weeks ago after I discovered and watched your interview together on this channel, I have subscribed to "Women of Impact" and listened to more videos, found and listened to other interviews of Evy Poumpouras, and read/listened to her book "Becoming Bulletproof".
Thank you so much for your incredibly inspiring and empowering content and messages. As evidenced by the many positive messages, reviews, likes, etc. both of you consistently receive, it is clear that I am not the only one who feels this way.
Edit to say: I AM UNSTOPPABLE
Evy- I want to say I too lost my Dad to cancer. I cried the pain was so deep. However, a wise old woman told me:
"God knows the exact moment not a minute sooner or a minute later that we are born. And God knows the exact moment not a minute sooner or a minute later that we go back to him." It's God's Divine time. May these words help you find peace like they did for me in spirit sister I feel your heart and I wish you the best always.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
1. 13:00 raw emotion (respect)

great for recap
Love thee ENDING😂 just what I needed~ thanks gals. WE are super amazing & UNstoppable!
You can try to forget and surpress the trauma, but the body does not forget. The trauma will come out either way out or create ilness in the body, or 80 years olds starts getting nightmares from the war they surpressed, I have seen this too many times with my work.
They say that if you speak about a trauma that you have experienced, like the death of a parent, for example, and you still get emotional about it and it brings tears, you are not over that trauma experience and have not dealt with it fully. You are a beautiful, strong woman Evy and you are human too. I feel your heartache here
So emotional to see Evy showing us how to be real from a place to straight where she definitely is 🙏🏻💖🌹
She made me cry! I survived 4 years of war in Bosnia and she maneged to make me cry!!❤️
Girls,you are so wonderful, so strong and emotional at the same time! You are teaching pepole how to be friends.
Thank you,girls! May God bless you!
💖💖
I literally was balling when Evie cried, losing a loved one is one of the hardest heartbreaks you will ever experience in life! Thank you so much for this empowering conversation beautiful ladies! 🙏🏻💞

Wow the part about her father really tore me up... I lost my dad when I was 13, he was also someone who was incredibly strong and I had to watch wither away. It definitely toughens you up!
“Close the f*cking gate, own your gate” I needed to hear that. Lol it made me laugh, but it was exactly what I needed.
Amazing. Often we believe we can’t become successful because of growing up in a bad environment. But growing up in a bad environment makes you more likely to over come obstacles for success!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE! Wow! As someone who grew up “inner-city adjacent”, meaning not quite inner city but definitely not suburbia… I can attest to both the benefits and disadvantages to this idea. Being somewhat coddled but not sheltered enough to protect me to the harms of society has cultivated a unique perspective where I am able to appreciate Real Life happening, but yet enough per-view to see the light at the end of the tunnel enough to WANT to persevere and push through. The disadvantages and discouragement that exists in poverty ridden environments should not be glamourized, and most would never just choose this existence for themselves or their kids. Likewise the protective/controllable environment of a safer household upbringing can be curated to such an extent that galvanizes Opportunities as means to build and innovate. Thanks for this interview dialogue Lisa! 👏🏾
I found you trying to find strength losing my mom 5 months ago feel so lost without her in my life and I don’t want to feel weak mom was strong woman went through some many adversity still kept positive about life also people.Thank you and sorry about your dad.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
My favourite takeaway from this episode is the part of taking ownership of your own happiness. To not seek approval from others and take action for yourself. You can't wait for other people to make your life better, and if you want something to change you have to do it yourself. Dont let your happiness and the things you want in life be dependent on other people.
I really love the episodes with Lisa and Evy. I loved how Lisa sat down and held Evy's hand when she started crying. It shows how real and considerate Lisa is as a person. I have learned so much from your videos.
I loved this quote so much: "I take ownership of how I act and how I show up in the world." It inspired me today to work hard on my goals and keep going.
I just lost my father a few weeks ago. Absolutely broken. I needed this. TY.❤👍
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I read “Becoming Bulletproof” while I was on my diving trip a couple weeks ago. The book is so incredible, there is so much brilliant advise you can integrate into your daily life and make yourself bulletproof. My favorite part of this episode is about different ways you can distract yourself. For me it’s apparently diving. But I really wanna try car racing. Thanks so much for such a great episode Lisa and Evy.
I love you both! I wish that you would have been around when I was a young girl. I'm 60 now and love the energy that you spark in me.
It's never too late!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE!💪🏽
Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
My favorite takeaway from the episode was to
take responsibility and not wait for other people to help you, take ownership. For me it's a big gamechanger, once you're confident and take ownership, I think you become unstoppable!
"I'm the leader in my life"- Evy P.
My cat meowing at me all the time is seriously buildng my resilience and she's awesome - literally the cat's meow
Thanks so much for this Video. She is from the Special Forces, yet she BREAKS DOWN for her Dad❤...i could relate to it too. Thank you Lisa and Evy for this Video. VERY VALUABLE.
I AM Unstoppable! Love these chats between strong women! Overcoming adversity makes us all stronger, growing up as a first generation female allowed us to build resilience to make our families proud
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. Accepting past mistakes, now putting forward a Solution Mindset. Remembering my stance & my capabilities, I know exactly what I bring to the table! Thank you both, always giving amazing collabs. 🧠
👏🏾👏🏾
Oh man I started crying before she did.. just seeing her so honest and raw makes me want to hug her and say “I know that pain, I went through that, and I had those parents”
When you talked about the type of parents you had... it hit me because I have a daughter and she's watching. I have to do better all around.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE Adversity is necessary and beneficial for resilience training. Adversity is flaccid-fin proofing my dolphin suit!! Be the leader in my own life. Reclaim personal power and authority. Breaking unwanted patterns is up to me. Resist bitching and blaming; take ownership, accept responsibility; admit fault; own it, be solution focused; use disruptors as tools to achieve desired resolution of conflict (inner conflict and with persons.) It's a healthy respectful, honoring choice to utilize distance, time and environment/space to sort things out and sort out yourself.

Hello it's works I can't believe am with my love again after so many years of break-up.,.......
Currently listening to her book “Becoming Bullet Proof” on audible, I’m going to buy the book as well now!! She’s incredible!! Speaks so eloquently
I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
My key take away from this video is that life is not happening to you or me, it is responding to us. I play a role and have an impact in the situations, people and events that either do or do not take place in my life. Take ownership, be mentally resistant and learn to adapt. We are in control of our own reactions and emotions and that is what makes you powerful!
I journaled today that I want to surround myself with successful people and those who are actively in the process of not only bettering themselves but bringing up the people around them - I then came across this video! Thank you Evy & Lisa
It’s crazy I needed to see this episode! Exactly what I need! I’m going through a bad storm currently! This is helping me sooo much thank you ! Literally I look at these videos for help and advise because I don’t have much of a female empowering figure in my life 🙏🏼 Thank you to the both of you for all you do! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
👏🏾👏🏾
You matter and you have gifts the world needs. Learn all about yourself (mind, body, and Spirit), set your boundaries, and love yourself unconditionally because we need your light shining bright. Abundant blessings of joy, peace and love to you all this holiday season!

Hello it's works I can't believe am with my love again after so many years of break-up.,.......
As a therapist, I appreciate the way you reframed adversity - it gave me more words to use to help people understand why I recommend allowing kids and other loved ones to experience consequences or weather normal human adversity without rescuing them from their adversity/suffering. When we swoop in and problem solve and attempt to remove necessary life struggles, we are doing them a disservice. To clarify, I am not saying to be heartless. Being an empathetic, caring, and encouraging presence in a loved one's life might feel like you're doing nothing, but it is the most effective thing you can do. Just give it a try - be an empathetic witness, willing to sit in the emotions with a loved one without trying to say something to make it better because you have faith in their capacity to make it through. All of us are way more resilient than we know!
This is so profound and EMPOWERING. We are not victims. That awareness of knowing no matter what adverse situation you are dealing with righ now we are GROWING and becoming strong as hell, this awareness is a real life SUPERPOWER. I needed to hear this today and be reminded that what I'm going through today is actually a gift in disguise. You guys rock. Keep soldiering on ladies
Serenity prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. ❤️
What a beautiful moment in this video when Evy recalls the moment with her dad. His position on how to win the war has kept her moving forward in strength. That same strength that still resides within her moves us all forward in strength. Thank you Evy for sharing this.
Evy is making me aware that I was giving openness and honesty to a lot of people who did not deserve it.
I appreciate so much that authentic moment where you cried because I went through the same thing with my mom and I know you're a bad ass that it controls your emotions so well but knowing you're a real person with real things to overcome is so powerful. Also appreciate that you didn't edit it out.
💫💜💫💜💫💜
If I had to be super vulnerable with someone, Lisa, you would be the one!
You have the biggest, most beautiful heart!!❤❤❤❤❤
I so needed this today. Thank you for having Evy on again. Just love her practical wisdom.💞
I grew up rough as hell. Was almost murdered at 16 and I am one of the most successful, resilient people I know. Im so worried for some of the kids these days. I would never want them to go through what I did (of course not) but they need something besides being in their rooms on their phones ordering everything they need on an app and having it delivered.
So true, kids do not know how to persevere; we much teach them by not HANDING them everything.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH LADIES !!! This is Diamond in our dull skies when it happen!
“ Don’t be a recipient of what the world is doing to you ..,” “ give something out there ..”
reminds me of what some French people say “ I’m not your trash bin !!” Je ne suis pas ta poubelle “!!! … Mais être belle pour moi-même et l’univers…. We cannot fix others We can fix only ourselves…and get our power back ! Merci beaucoup Lisa and
Evy ❤
I love how honest you guys both are and how you are not afraid to show your emotions. Your stories are super inspiring
I'm unstoppable, baby! 💪💪
Adversity is good. Abuse is bad and there is an important distinction.
It’s like lifting weights. To get stronger, you have to practice lifting heavy things. Same in life. Because I AM UNSTOPPABLE.
These ladys are right I am a soft hearted man,with kind gentle empathetic people , but i am tough with wicked horible people. i will never let them dominate or bully me.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE. Love these two, they have such amazing insight and inspiration. I heard myself in Evy' & Lisa's comments (21:44) about taking ownership of our actions vs. being the victim. I'm healing from some childhood trauma & narcissistic relationships. It clicked that yes, these can be Traumatic experiences, but once you take responsibility to Understand the Trauma then you can convert it to Adversity. Then you can move on by using the skills you've learned or get help to solve the adversity. It sounds simplistic, but once I moved my Trauma to Adversity I wasn't a victim anymore. I was a work in progress!
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
I really appreciated hearing that waiting for someone to fix you or make things great is NOT going to fix anything. It is simply wasting time. Pushing forward, facing adversary and pushing through awkwardness or fear is what develops us and makes us strong. Greatness is cultivated, not handed to you.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Takeaways:
•Adversity WILL Always Happen. Don’t try to avoid it. Don’t stay in sorrow. Cope effectively & MOVE forward.
•Surround yourself with people who see adversity as a challenge and not something designed to “push you down”.
•When adversity hits, dont compjain about it.
•Have a problem, FIND a solution.
•ZERO pity party. 🙌🏼🔥🔥❤️
•Theres a difference between CHRONIC adversity and adversity that we cannot control.
Chronic - you put yourself in a negative position.
Adversity (outside our control)- conditions we can’t control.
Example: The way we were raised, WHERE we grew up, natural disasters, etc.
•Don’t cry or stay in sadness because of the difficulties you have gone through, use the hardships to improve yourself and HELP others.
•Adversity helps create mental resilience.
•Don’t stay in the trauma, push forward.
I am u n s t o p p a b l e. 🙏🏼❤️
