From Breadcrumbing to Boundaries: Choosing Self-Love Over Scraps | Healing Sexuality

In this episode of Please Me Podcast, Eve welcomes back Emma Lyons, trauma healer, energy worker, and creator of The Inner Narcissist, for Part 2 of their powerful conversation on sexuality, trauma, shame, self-worth, and healing. Together, they explore how trauma can remain stored in the nervous system long after a difficult experience has ended, shaping the way we show up in relationships, intimacy, business, and everyday life. Emma shares practical somatic tools to help listeners reconnect with their bodies, create a sense of safety, and break free from patterns rooted in shame and survival. The conversation also examines the surprising connection between self-worth, sexuality, and money, revealing how overgiving, people-pleasing, and difficulty receiving can impact every area of life. Through a realistic dating role-play, Emma demonstrates how to navigate breadcrumbing with confidence, healthy boundaries, and self-respect.
