Ep 201 Family Trauma, Inner Narcissists & Become Unshameable with Emma Lyons | Jenny Alday Townsend

In this eye-opening episode of The Stroke It Podcast, host Jenny Townsend sits down with trauma-informed healer Emma Lyons to unpack how family dysfunction and intergenerational trauma program our inner world—often creating a harsh “inner narcissist” that shames, controls, and keeps us small. Emma shares how she reclaimed her power by naming that voice, setting boundaries (including going no-contact), and rebuilding her nervous-system safety from the ground up. From scapegoats and golden children to enmeshment and conditional love, this conversation demystifies the roles in narcissistic family systems—and why confronting a narcissist rarely works. Instead, Emma offers a practical path forward: become “un-shameable” by breaking the trance, refusing to engage the shame voice, and anchoring back into your body and truth. You’ll hear the difference between intuition and the inner critic, why shame is a control mechanism (not a healthy motivator), and how to model change without trying to fix anyone else. It’s candid, compassionate, and actionable—support for anyone ready to end the cycle and choose self-leadership.
