About this episode
Lisa Bilyeu sits down with New York’s top divorce attorney, James Sexton. James Sexton isn’t just any lawyer, he’s the guy who’s been in every kind of messy breakup imaginable, from dealing with narcissists to untangling epic family drama. If you’ve ever wondered how to spot, handle, or walk away from a toxic relationship (or what really happens behind closed doors in divorce court) this is the conversation you can’t miss.
In Part 1, James Sexton gets real about narcissists, manipulation, and what you need to do to protect yourself (and your sanity). He shares wild stories from the courtroom, tactical advice on boundary-setting, and why “just trying to be fair” often backfires.
