20|Narcissism in the Workplace (Part 2): Protecting Your Energy, Your Voice & Your Power

from Rise & Roar with the Badass Lioness · host Ginine Emily Smith

How to recognize unhealthy patterns, set boundaries, and lead with strength — without becoming hardened with Laurie Hardie Part 2 goes deeper. Because narcissism doesn’t just show up in romantic relationships —it shows up in workplaces, leadership dynamics, families, teams, and communities. And in this episode, Ginine and Laurie Hardie shift the conversation from awareness to self-protection, empowerment, and embodied leadership. Let’s be clear: Not everyone who causes harm is a narcissist. And we are not here to label or diagnose. We are here to help you recognize patterns — so you don’t normalize emotional abuse, chronic stress, or toxic dynamics anymore. This conversation is for high-achieving women, leaders, and professionals who: • Feel drained, dismissed, or over-functioning at work • Struggle with boundaries in unhealthy environments • Have experienced gaslighting, manipulation, or control • Want to lead with integrity without burning out • Are ready to break cycles instead of repeating them Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ How narcissistic traits show up in the workplace ✨ The difference between difficult people and emotionally unsafe leadership ✨ Why your nervous system often knows before your mind does ✨ Subtle red flags that signal power imbalance and manipulation ✨ How to protect your energy without becoming guarded or reactive ✨ Practical boundary strategies for professional environments ✨ What healing leadership actually looks like ✨ How to reclaim your voice, clarity, and authority This isn’t about becoming bitter. It’s about becoming aware. It’s about moving from survival mode into sovereignty. From people-pleasing into presence. From confusion into clarity. Because when you see the pattern, you can interrupt the pattern. And when you interrupt the pattern, you change your future. 2026 is the year we rise. In truth. In boundaries. In nervous-system safety. In unapologetic self-respect. If you’ve ever felt silenced, minimized, or emotionally exhausted at work — this episode is for you. 🎧 Press play. 🦁 Take your power back. ✨ Lead from alignment.
