with Laurie Hardie 2026 isn’t the year we stay silent. It’s the year we rise. In this powerful, heart-centered conversation, Ginine and Laurie Hardie pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood topics in personal growth and leadership: narcissism, emotional harm, and relational patterns. Let’s be clear right up front: Not everyone who causes pain is a narcissist.And we are not here to diagnose or label anyone. We are here to bring awareness. Because awareness is what breaks cycles.Awareness is what stops abuse from repeating.Awareness is what turns quiet survival into conscious sovereignty. In this episode, we explore: ✨ The difference between narcissistic traits and narcissistic abuse✨ Why so many high-achieving women normalize emotional harm✨ How unhealed patterns quietly recreate themselves in relationships, leadership, and business✨ What it actually feels like in your body when something isn’t safe✨ How to reclaim your voice, boundaries, and power without becoming bitter or hardened✨ Why healing isn’t about blaming the past — it’s about choosing differently moving forward This is not a victim story. This is a rise story. A conversation for women who are done minimizing red flags.For leaders who are ready to stop over-functioning.For quiet warriors who are becoming bold, embodied Lionesses. Because when you see the pattern,you can interrupt the pattern. And when you interrupt the pattern,you change your future. If you’ve ever felt confused, depleted, gaslit, or silenced…this episode is for you. 2026 is the year we rise —in truth, in boundaries, in nervous-system safety,and in unapologetic self-respect. 🎧 Press play.🦁 Take your power back.✨ And remember: awareness is the beginning of freedom.

Ginine sits down with Michelle Bar- a Transformational Business and Life Coach, Speaker, Author, and Teacher who helps you find your freedom and live your vision. After turning her own expensive hobby into a full-time profitable business, she took it online and built a thriving global online business, along with a life of both Money, and time Freedom that she has created.

Michelle lives in Texas and travels both nationally and internationally, speaking, teaching, and serving. Trauma isn’t what happened to you.It’s what stayed in your body. In this episode, we dismantle one of the biggest myths in personal growth and leadership: that trauma lives only in the past. For high-achieving women, trauma often hides behind competence, productivity, and strength. It shows up as exhaustion, hyper-independence, emotional armor, over-functioning, and a nervous system stuck in survival—long after the story says you’ve “healed.” This is not a soft or surface-level conversation. Joined by trauma and healing expert Michelle Barr, we explore what trauma actually is, how it lives in the nervous system, and why willpower, mindset work, and hustle can’t override a dysregulated body. You’ll discover: Why trauma is a physiological response, not a personal failure How “successful” women stay trapped in fight-or-flight without realizing it The difference between understanding trauma and becoming it What regulated leadership looks like—and why it changes everything How women reclaim power when they lead without armor This episode is for the woman who’s done the work…but still feels guarded, tired, or stuck in survival mode. Because true leadership doesn’t come from pushing harder.It comes from regulation, presence, and embodied power. She talks about conscious dance- an epic tool! When women regulate, they don’t just heal.They change the world.

Lioness Podcast, Ginine Emily Smith sits down with Lizette Warnerto reframe one of the most misunderstood experiences facing high-achieving women today: burnout. This conversation is for the women who: Carry responsibility effortlessly Lead, give, and hold everything together Have been “the strong one” for years Appear successful on the outside but feel depleted on the inside Together, Ginine and Lizette explore why burnout is not weakness — but often a sign of overextension, unprotected brilliance, and identity rooted in output instead of presence. This episode is not theory.It’s grounded in lived experience, leadership, and emotional truth. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why burnout happens most often to capable, driven women How brilliance without boundaries leads to exhaustion The nervous system’s role in high-achiever burnout How to stop self-abandoning in the name of success What it means to lead, perform, and live without burning out How to reclaim energy, clarity, and self-worth without quitting your life If you’ve ever wondered why doing “everything right” still left you tired…If you’ve questioned your capacity, motivation, or confidence…If you’re ready to stop surviving and start leading from wholeness — This episode will meet you exactly where you are. 🦁 You’re not broken.You’re brilliant.It’s time to protect your brilliance — not punish it Join our Facebook Group Baddass Lioness Website Let's connect! info@theheartlistens.com Apply to be a guest here- https://sfgt1.share-na2.hsforms.com/2kojgtVwKSnadxnJDEpTeJg If this movement has touched you, inspired you, or awakened something inside you…supporting with a “coffee” helps us reach more women who need a lifeline of hope.☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ginineemily
