Breaking up with Shame: The Inner Voice that Lies

What if shame isn’t your teacher — but your jailer? In this bold and eye-opening episode of The Happy Healthy Her Podcast, host Lorraine Kihm sits down with Emma Lyons, a transformational healer and subconscious reprogramming guide, to expose shame for what it really is — a learned tool of control that keeps women small, silent, and disconnected from their true power. Emma explains why shame is not a moral compass or a sign of growth, but a toxic pattern passed down through generations — the voice of what she calls the “inner narcissist.” Together with co-hosts Tracey Male and Cynthia Penner, Lorraine explores how shame hijacks the nervous system, fuels perfectionism and people-pleasing, and masks itself as “self-improvement.” You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between your authentic voice and that false inner critic — and how to finally “break up” with shame using awareness, empathy, and self-compassion. If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” this episode will remind you: you were never the problem. Shame was. 💜 If you would like to learn more about Emma Lyons, you can find her here: ● Substack (writing on trauma & healing): https://traumamatrix.substack.com ● Instagram: @trauma.matrix And to get her free guide - 5 Signs You Need to Break Up with Your Inner Narcissist at https://tinyurl.com/nottodaynarc 👉 Contact Us: Join the Happy Healthy Her Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568529938183 *************************** 🔹 Lorraine Kihm - Wellness Coach 🌍 https://innerpathwayswellness.com/ ✉️ [email protected] YT : https://www.youtube.com/@InnerPathwaysWellness FB: https://www.facebook.com/InnerPathwaysWellness/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/innerpathwayswellness/ *************************** 🔹 Cynthia Penner - Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and Author 🌍https://https://mymenopausemap.com ✉️ [email protected] Check out Cynthia’s Book “MIND MAZE Reclaiming Your Clarity in the Midst of Chaos” https://amzn.to/4pNuche Check out Cynthia’s Book “HORMONE HAVOC Finding Balance Without Losing Yourself” https://amzn.to/48MKfpJ Check out Cynthia’s Book “INSOMNIA IMBALANCE Restoring Your Sleepless Mind and Body” https://amzn.to/4ryPwbU Listen to The Menopause Map Minute podcast: Spotify Apple Youtube *************************** 🔹 Tracey Male - Health Empowerment Coach 🌍 NaturesProtege.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@naturesprotege FB: https://www.facebook.com/naturesprotege IG: https://www.instagram.com/natures_protege/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/natures-protege/
