- Evy Poumpouras was part of the protective details for Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, and both the Presidents Bush. She worked complex criminal investigations and undercover operations, executed search and arrest warrants, and investigated both violent and financial crimes. An expert in the art and science of lie detection, human behaviour and cognitive influence, she was also an interrogator for the agency’s elite polygraph unit.
In this free livestreamed conversation, Evy offers a timely guide to empowerment, mental strength, and overcoming fear and abuse - a guide to becoming bulletproof.
This woman is reminding me of who and what I am but lost sight of when I fell into crushing despair. Bless you!
i hear ya man!
I've been there and trying to remember who the F I am!!
You all know who you are, pain is part of the process. You will see your self in a the upcoming time and once again you will be proud of you, of how you lifted up your self. I have faith in you because I know you have faith in yourself. This comment assures it.
Just coming out of it myself man. 13 yrs with a covert narcissist who apparently despises men and wants to just control and abuse them for their own sick false sense of self superiority complex.
March 10th it was dropped on me, April 23rd is when they walked out the door. Left Hugh and dry, no washer and dryer, no fridge, no shower curtain and took the family car..
7 days later was the anniversary of the date our son was to be born but we lost him in 2015 was a Mc.
It's like she timed it JUST right calculated to ALLL of it would hit me like a truck full of tons of bricks
It's just the falsehood of it all for over 13 yrs..
I'm so.Sorry you went thriugh what u did as well man. Everything did feel hopeless, the future all of it pointless and in dispair of it all.
I just have to restart my life completly and just move on without them ever seeing or hearing from them ever again. That's also the hard part.

She got through a military drill, dealt with criminals, protected Presidents. And here I am, getting mad at my 5 year old daughter calling me stupid mom. There's a looong way to go
😂😂😂😂😂
"I can't make you unstoppable because it doesn't exist. But I can make you harder to stop." -Evy
From now on, I am going to save money to buy that book.
on kindle its only 1 pound
@@evka24 thank you for the Info.
It’s in the public library:)
One of best book I have ever bought!! Every time I feel demotivated.. I open Evy’s Becoming Bulletproof, and my mind becomes bulletproof! It has changed my outlook towards every situation and every person. Huge gratitude to beautiful Evy💕
I LOVE the authenticity of that statement! Also just ordered her book. :)
I agree with her 1000% .. I had a tough childhood and never fell victim to substance abuse or severe depression. As I got older I had lots of stress and I saw friends who had a little stress like a boyfriend break up with them and they’d be on anti depressants and practically suicidal. The ppl who were deeply depressed grew up in a two parent home with grandparents and all that. When I broke up with a guy in most cases I just went on with my life and I had a broken home and my mom died when I was 2 of an overdose and my dad was a severe alcoholic. I always noticed I was different and more resilient to adversity than many others and I embraced that strength.
@@SusanaXpeace2u I think your right. I lost both parents very young and I have a strong sense of self. I sometime wonder about kids with toxic parents if they would be be better off with out them
I can relate and couldn't agree with you more!! My superpower "is not afraid to fail" I love that
Yeah but there are worlds apart between when you break up with someone and when someone breaks up with you. Bad example.
@drac 464 What you wrote was SO GOOD I had to re-read it several times. YOU'RE AMAZING not to have gotten caught up in drugs or depression. That's remarkable.
That’s what I thought too until it all came out in my early 30’s. Emotions and everything suppressed I had to deal with. In my teens and all throughout my 20’s, I thought I was good, I was ok. I was working and doing well for myself and didn’t follow in my parents footsteps, but the pain came out in different ways and you don’t realize that until later on.
I’m not saying that is your case, but for a lot of us, these issues do come up later in life to deal with and that’s ok. It really makes you even more stronger than before 💜
'We usually raise the first obstacle, due to a self defeating narrative'. WOW. That's really got me.
I wanna be her when I grow up.
Be the best version of yourself-everyone else is already taken 😘
@@spazaliciousbim I know. It was a joke. I'm already grown up. And pretty fly 😂
Yeah, I totally want to be her
hi,you have a crush on her,,,and i dont blame you.i would love to be her too,when i too,grow up.
Be careful pseudo feminists may hate you because all they want is men working and women not
We are never done becoming....I LOVE THAT. SO MOTIVATED . You are a gem.
This should be taught in schools ☺️
Schools are enveloped in the abundance of what needs to be taught. Over time, these “shoulds” have resulted in the dropping of really important subjects that within these forgotten subjects lie discrete details that contain thought provoking decision making plans.
Solutions would be for a parent/caregiver to seek out after school activities that address these issues and develop the necessary emotional intelligence to add to intellectual intelligence.
@@julietterogers6887 right. I stop saying a long time ago.
They won’t teach it because she teaches reality and common sense.
@@SugarcubeCali you are right. What a silly society we live in.
I could listen to this lady for hours
Hannah is such a good interviewer. No interruptions x
I love the intelligence here! So strong and level headed.
He who walks with the wise grows wise
She is so intelligent! I can’t act as though I don’t see how gorgeous she is . Just beautiful and strong
Is it possible that we are more willing to listen to "gorgeous" people?
Rightttt???
Jami: Although I myself am not sure it is intelligent that she is, but rather practised in self-disciplined schooling of her potential and learning also human functioning, natural laws and to use them efficiently and optimally. That is so hopeful really: We don't have to be that intelligent to be good at (self) defense etc, just use our assets and god's energy. Sorry I stepped into your view. Hope it's OK.Empowering myself.
She really is. I was initially drawn to the subject/title's of her talks & of course it's tough to ignore her striking beauty. There may have been a twinge of pseudo envy at some point during the perception phase but ultimately (she won me over). She'd make a good interviewer. 😉
Brains + Beauty & she's Beast? I guess if you're into that type of junk, lol. Jkjk

@Rheann Roman You clearly didn't understand what I was getting at, yet you took time to poke at me, you brat!
The mindset of taking responsibility also takes so much stress away! I had a horrible situation with a housemate recently where they said "I never liked you" very out of nowhere (during a fight with her closest friend in the house) after it felt like we'd had a reasonable friendship. I sat down, took accountability, and realised I wouldn't have changed anything about how I behaved - meaning her problem with me was her problem. It also really helps you cut the social fat! Thank you Evy, you're a gift!
“Cut the social fat”. That’s the perfect way to describe cutting toxic people from your life. I’m borrowing it.
This is hy I'll never have roommates ever again.
"We don't need to be the mere RECIPIENT to what people do to us!" Evy P. you are so amazing
Love how Evy talks about noticing our patterns of reaction, tracking it, and using that info to reign ourselves in to make choices to practice self control.
Wow, the U.S. got such a treasure when Evy's parents decided to choose the American Dream :) 🇺🇸 Your story and work is deeply inspiring can't wait to get your book!
The book is great...reading it now🙌🏽
There is no american dream. Come to canada instead
She said in other interviews that her parents disagreed at first, and wouldn't talk to her for a little while, but they eventually came around. I'm happy she stuck to going after her dreams because I find her so inspirational plus she gives great advice.
Absolutely one of the best talks on CZcams!! Evy is intelligent, powerful, and wise. I wish she's one of the 5 closest people in my life. Thank you Hannah & Evy for this pleasant and informative conversation!
She's done other appearances. CZcams search her.
I'm a mom to a cute, mischievous, bunch of very young children, living in strict lockdown almost a year and we're in a self quarantine after an exposure, so, the people I spend the most time with are toddlers. I don't want to think like them but by the end of each day, it can break me down almost that much, so I wear a blutooth earbud while doing dishes, making lunches, folding laundry, and sweeping up. I listen to teachers like Evy, audiobooks about the field of business I plan to move into once my littles are in school, or other motivational or informational grown-ups. I find just seeing a great lesson like this once sort of hits me and then passes, but if I make an effort to keep wise voices like this in my ear a little bit throughout the day, it can feel more balanced, and the repetition helps a passing lesson become an actual habit.
Stunning mind! I’ve been watching a bunch of videos on her! She is so grounded! A true inspiration in thought processes! 🤍
Love your smile! Thanks for the "warm welcome". Evy has become my new hero in life. I stop for any interview I come across with her!
Great Interview. What a wonderful and knowledgeable speaker. I honestly had no idea how important it is to "stay in control and not surrender to the chaos"(as she articulated so well).
She is so authentic and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your wisdom
Wow she is incredibly poised, and so articulate, powerful and beautiful. Thank you - finally someone "real" that women like me can relate to! I will be buying her book!
How do the fake women relate to her?
Very nice interview with Evy former secret service agent and about her new book becoming Bullet proof. Paperback book. And her work experiences. I enjoyed your program. Learned some insight about society and people .
Ok, I've seen a whole like 30 seconds of this - came up in my feed from liking this guest on other appearances - and I'm loving this host! Her greeting seems filled with genuine warmth, excitement, and love. I feel so welcome on this channel. 🙇 Thanks. Don't mind if I do...
Thank you for teaching us how to recognize when we aren't recognizing or utilizing the power we have over our own life and how to turn it around so that we can be closer to living the quality of life that we welcome :) This reflects the "respond vs. react" lesson. Take stock of what exists in our life - determine what we like/want vs. what we don't like or want - then figure out a plan or strategy for how to achieve the best possible situation for our selves and then work to make it happen. We can only control our own actions, feelings, decisions, and choices that we make for our selves. We must be prepared to walk away from people and things that aren't good for us - things we cannot change - if those situations really aren't good for us.
As an empowerment teacher Im in awe of you. Thank you for speaking my language to me! For being a tide for thoughtful protection for ourselves, not reactive.
Wow! She sounds completely different from the Interview I saw before. She really adjusts her personality according to the audience 😲
Really you think so? In what way? Her body language seems a little different maybe but idk
A Skill.

@@natpolkabunny mostly her soft voice, a lot of pauses, everything more quiet and less intense...
That’s an Air sign specialty hunny!
Thank you Evy for really simple and work able advice and all of best with your new career in television🙏🏽
I thought I was straight until I found Evy.. I finally found my girl crush.. omg she’s gorgeous and articulate .. those eyes
?
Seriously....when a man doesn’t hear a woman and only pervs on about her looks we are out for blood I don’t know how you got away with this comment
Lmao she's pretty but this comment is rather creepy af
@@acedcoffee6934 I find this comment rather meek lol, I’ve seen worse comments out there
@@shelby3755 ahah agree
Very educational, thank you. Evy looks beautiful. Hypnotizing eyes.
Know Thyself is actually a ancient Kemetic saying 😊
Thought provoking. Clearly, this lady is very intelligent and has the wisdom of experience. I will be buying her book.
I bought it few hours i saw her in an Interview i ran to the book store🙂
@@naimadelafeunte9165 I've downloaded it to my kindle. Reading it now.
Same
It's always worhwhile listening to Evy
Every one needs a back bone to survive, without being cruel. She’s truly top notch. She’s truly a blessing, pray many truly listen and hear her words. She’s a blessing to us.
Absolutely love,” how can I help other people “, very awesome. A couple of my granddaughters, they are so strong, so resilient, and I’ll make sure they continue this empowering journey. They do not deserve to be a victim, they deserve to face up and they are such empowering ladies!! I believe in them so much,. Ones 20, her sis is 11, these girls are going to truly make a difference, they already are. Shared this video also with them, they love empowerment.
Me and my mind, I grew up with brothers , and I’m
Going to be stronger, because I’m the oldest!! 😁 Plus, they are / will learn from me.
So glad you said backbone rather than balls 🙂
Evy is SUCH an inspiration.
Such an inspirational, strong and beautiful woman! Thank you for your great sharing. I feel so blessed to have listened to your logic, wisdom and experiences. Lovely work xxx
Inspiring, helpful and so interesting, thanks for sharing!
Her advice are very helpful.
I am working on my emotions.
Balance is very hard to maintain.
What she say is very true. Being empowered is knowing how to adjust.
Truth is always the key to adjust.
Denial is a problem.
Thank you 👏👏👏
I see my self 1st as a person trying to work hard and making a better life for my family.
Great interview. Buying the book!! And another one for my granddaughter.
WOW, she is not only Strong, Smart, Beautiful but incredibly Articulate! What an Amazing person and woman!
She is AMAZING! Love her
I Love "take what you learn and help other people". Thank you so much!
I Love "situational awareness." Thank you again!
I recommend everyone hear this bit of Evy's growth centric & respectably fashioned content 👌 this one is just fantastic!
Thank-you ever so much to the lovely host as well as the academy for this rare educational arsenal straight from the source
Evy should write a full disclosure book about ALL the Presidents she worked for. NOW is the time, because disclosure has just begun over here in the US! I love Evy, she is pure badassed-ness!! 💗
enjoyed this very much
fear might help to plan in more thoughtful way. She talks about body's reaction in challenging situations - that's where most of us feel defeated because self-protection can be turned against that very person who needs help most. It may become very ambiguous in hands of those who want to defeat us. Has to be teached as early as possible, otherwise body and mind always will be in an inner conflict. She is a hero
This is how a badass look like!
This is an awesome video. Thank you. Incidentally, if you eat a lot of sugar, your reactionary time can be very short. Sugar makes impulse control harder due to how it impacts your brain chemistry.
Thank you❤
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
This was phenomenal!!
I’m learning a lot from Evy in this and other videos. Her book has been in my wish list for quite awhile. I’m looking forward to listening to it soon.
wow so educational have practiced some of these 100% we are influenced by the people around us whoo whoo,
Thank you
Their loss, not arrogance, just truth I bring.
I Love "objective seekers of the truth, WOW! Most grateful to hear you.
Evy is so insightful.
Amazing lady!!!
Accepting reality and living in the present is the key to peace and living fully ✨
Hannah, great interview. Hannah,
your guest took great effort to be prepared with quality information, answers to questions and look like a professional.
This lady and Robert Greene need to connect and write a book together. So powerful!!!!💪🏻
Amazing interview. Finally found someone that thinks just like me.
Always stop to watch her videos! If only all cops were like her!!! I will def get her book very soon too. Thank you Evy. What a pretty name too . Bless you.
She’s brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your a hero! My hubs 30yr. retired Sr Navy Chief and maryland state trooper of 20 yrs. I would love to talk with you. You could help me deal with the crap I deal with with him. OMG!
He was Intel. Cop friends in New York..
Your a tough Cookie! Love your wisdom. Thank You for your service 💖
I love her attitude thank you
So true. The second that you, anyone, thinks that they are invincible or know everything that is when you need to check yourself.
Just bought her book on Kindle. This is going to be a good read.
All Women need life advise like this.
Excellent.
Amen on her answer regarding working for President Trump. That’s patriotism at its finest.
I love her. I want to take her class
🤞
I constantly had to check my initial reactions towards evil intentions and actions of other people, to the point where fear sends me to react to them with an overloaded thoughts of violence.
Then it would become a different level of danger!!!
Its the self perseverance thing.🤔
Fortunately intelligence takes over and things tend to work out positively on my part.
It takes hard work to become mindful, resilient and in control.
Experiences teaches you how to navigate our reality, that for sure.
The part where we have to except other people's reality is where my arguments against it kicks in.
Especially when logic tells you that they're wrong.
I stand with my convictions, because I evaluate everything at play.
I'm always aware.
This woman is someone that reminds me of myself so much as i go through the process of applying to the secret service right now.
Resilience shows the power we have in hopeless situations. Even when you are in the worst of situations you have power to change situations. There are so many layers and facets of becoming a bulletproof person (you don't have to go thro years of police academy like she did).
1) we are always becoming fearless and brave. We are not done becoming brave.
Amazing video ✨✨✨
One day i was leaving the gym and a girl was walking towards me and then passed me, something in my gut made me feel uneasy. it was a sunny day and i realised i saw her shadow turn around and circle back. the sun was low so even though she was maybe 8 metres away i could see her shadow. i reached my car and quickly got in locking the doors. she stopped at my passenger door and i turned and looked her right in the face and didn't break eye contact. she got the fright of her life and walked away. always trust you gut feeling about someone.
extra elaboration on this story. I left the parking lot and realised she was standing next to the bus stop so as i drove past her i slowed right down and caught her gaze again and made sure she knew that i knew what she was up to. she was trying to hide within the bus stop behind a bin. she looked dead scared after that.
Wishing a very happy Woman’s Day to strong, intelligent, talented and simply wonderful women of this world! Don’t you ever forget that you are loved and appreciated.
I just bought her book! She is amazing!
Love her! She’s full of common sense and good old traditional thinking. Glad she’s not woke. Just a powerful person and yet humanistic.
Rigid people aren't just rigid, They have a history that has shaped them, just as you do.She makes it simple for herself, saying "you don't want to be rigid". instead of providing some really useful advice for them how to go about change. She is oblivious that one needs the information, support or assistence of others of what possibilities there are. When having experienced total powerlessness,there is learned helplessness and lack of habitude, energy,health and skills..
Managing fear, I love it.
Its not about paranoia Hannah , like Evy says its awareness. When you drive your car, you put the belt on and check mirrors and stuff ... you are are not paranoid ( then you ll not drive a car , you ll take buss, biking , taxi , train or whatever ) . You are aware and prepared just in case .... after a while you do it automatically, becoming your second nature. Awareness on the street and public places should be ones priority nr 1. Look arround you ( exactly as she says , driving a car you see and so many things , your brain its in that mode because you did it so so many times.) .IMO. Bought Evys book , its a good read .
I LOVE HER OMG HER WORDS
Super high value woman, SUPER HIGH
i cannot imagine a more beautiful actress to play Evy Poumpouras in a movie inspired by her INCREDIBLE life! And wow, she is soo brilliant! If she were available, I'd propose to her on sight.
I wish the audio were louder and a bit more clear, especially Evy’s because this interview is great.
When visiting friends in San Diego we went to TeaJuana. It was crowded and my daughter and I stopped to buy a purse in the market when we got separated from our group. A man came up to us and hugged my daughter from behind. I grabbed his cheek and dug my nails into it and growled like a mamma bear to "let my daughter go". He immediately let go and said he was only kidding and ran away. I am usually a small 5'2", thin,shy person and never did anything like that and didn't think I just acted. I was born and raised in Brooklyn and rode the subway for several years to work. I think that helped me know what to do there in TeaJuana. Brooklyn girls are tough even though we may not know it.
Thanks, wheres the link to the book?
Check Amazon, if you haven"t already.
I know way too many narcissistic officers... men and women. So that test is no bueno.
I think re-testing would be good to do. I know you change while in LE, esp. if you let it.
She said that not all departments do the same things, so NYPD used the test but not necessarily other departments.
Evy Poumpouras didnt need the name drop. This interviewer hasnt done her homework on her, and you can tell by the way she holds and looks at the book that she didnt read. Evy you got out your truth very well
I didn't get the thing she said about the slider thing....can someone please explain?
People can hack cameras. So buy a slider so when your not using your camera you can block it from viewing you.
I think she’s amazing. My ex (who happens to be a narcissist and possibly a psychopath) always put me down for being to nice to weak too considerate of others and would get so angry at me when I was nice to people but I always used that unknowingly to get what I wanted not in trying to manipulate them but truly by trying to see where they were coming from . And my ex always put that as a weakness not as a quality so always trying to train me to be more aggressive but it’s just not in me
He wanted all of your good qualities all for his supply.
Our Fed Officers in BC Canada must go through a psychological exam and polygraph before employment , impulsivity is a massive negative as well as poor credit , which increases the risk of being manipulated
Being in law enforcement especially elite unit like presidential protection unit is tough (lotsof strong personalities and egos). It is tougher for a woman. I can tell she’s naturally rational and logical. That’s how she can survive in her line of work. For those who lead by emotion, the learning curve is steep. It takes a lot to override natural instinct.
