91. How to Tame The Voice Of Your Inner Narcissist (Emma Lyons)
Manage episode 507717071 series 3374046
In this empowering episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I am joined by Emma Lyons, trauma healer, shame exorcist, and Self Liberation Mentor who works specifically with quiet achievers, especially women who have internalised a voice of narcissistic control and mistaken it for their own. Emma shares her journey of overcoming depression, self-sabotage, and the relentless “shame voice” that kept her stuck for years.
Together, we explore themes that many introverts and quiet achievers will recognize — the struggle with boundaries, the invisible toll of narcissistic relationships, the weight of shame, and the quiet resilience it takes to heal. Emma explains how somatic work, nervous system healing, and energy medicine can transform shame into self-trust, and how introverts can reclaim their truth and freedom without burning out.
Quotes
“When you give yourself permission to pause, clarity comes more naturally than when you push.”
“Self-trust is built one small choice at a time—every ‘no’ that honours your energy makes you stronger.”
About Emma Lyons
Emma Lyons studied human rights law but never started that career, because she was caught in a vicious loop of depression, self-sabotage, and a relentless voice in her head tearing her down every day. It wasn’t just self-doubt or insecurity — it was something deeper, a toxic internal narrative that kept her stuck in shame and failure.
After years of trying everything — yoga, healing, therapy — Emma finally found a way to break free. Through nervous system healing, somatic work, and energy medicine, she reclaimed her power and rewired her mind.
Now, she guides women who’ve done “all the things” but still feel stuck, invisible, or burnt out to dismantle the shame voice that humiliates, controls, and impersonates them, and to reclaim their truth and freedom.
