In this powerful episode of The Purple Passion Project, Dr. Stacy sits down with transformational healer and trauma decoding expert Emma Lyons to explore the deep link between shame,trauma, love avoidance, and intimacy.

After studying law and international human rights, Emma turned away from a lifepath that looked good on paper but felt like slow death — and spent the next decade deep in the healing world. Despite all the therapy, yoga, mindset work, and energy practices, she still found herself stuck in loops of self-erasure, burnout, and invisibility… until she uncovered the deeper truth: she’dinternalized a narcissistic system of control, and it was running her from the inside out. Today, Emma helps high-functioning, heart-led women dismantle that inner narcissist, the shame voice that humiliates, controls, and impersonates them, so they can reclaim clarity, power, and nervous system freedom. 💜 Connect with Dr. Stacy: • Website:www.drstacyfriedman.com • Social: @drstacyfriedman (IG, TikTok, YouTube, FB), LinkedIn: @drstacy • Podcast: The Purple Passion Project ✨ Leave a Review: If this episode stirred something in you, let it.
