CIA Spy: You're 73 mins Away From Being Un-F*cking-Breakable

You know that feeling when you’re dismissed, underestimated, or downright disrespected, and you start to wonder if you’re the problem… or if the world is just stacked against you? Homie, THIS is your episode.

I’m sitting down with Tracy Walder: Ex-CIA and FBI, one of the only women in history to serve as a special agent in both agencies, and literal expert at uncovering the truth when lives are on the line. But today isn’t just about spy stories. It’s about training YOU to stand your ground, outsmart manipulation, and build unbreakable emotional resilience…no matter who tries to make you small.

From surviving toxic workplaces and “Malibu Barbie” insults to resisting gaslighting from the world’s most powerful men, Tracy shares the mindset, boundaries, and psychological tools you need to protect yourself and rebuild your confidence.

Here’s exactly what we dive into:

• How to spot (and survive) subtle disrespect, from the boardroom to the bedroom
• Real-life “spy tactics” any woman can use to stay in control under pressure
• How to recognize and resist manipulation, even when it’s weaponized kindness
• Handling gaslighting, shrinking to “fit in,” and dealing with toxic women
