If you want to read someone, don’t start with what they say - start with THIS.
Evy Poumpouras is a former U.S. Secret Service agent who served in the elite polygraph unit, which means she was a human lie detector and who was trained to read behavior and detect deception under pressure.
Evy explains that the fastest way to understand someone isn’t listening harder - it’s watching their body.
Where they’re pointed matters.

And once you know what to look for, you stop guessing and start seeing what’s actually happening.
On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Evy breaks down how to read people accurately, spot subtle signals, and stay in control so you don’t get played.
