    Aging Backwards & Rising Forward – Part 2: Don’t Go Back to Playing Small In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Ginine Emily Smith sits down again with the radiant and unstoppable Joellyn Martin — 71 years young, vibrant, holistic, and living proof that aging is not decline… it’s design. Positive aging! This episode goes deeper. We talk about: It's Ok to say NO- Address old business -then redesign Why playing small accelerates emotional and physical aging The connection between energy, identity, and overall well-being Rewiring old patterns that keep you stuck in contraction Expanding your purpose instead of shrinking into comfort What it really means to rise forward instead of slide backward If you’ve ever felt the pull to dim your light… If success scared you into self-sabotage… If your body feels the stress of shrinking… This episode is your reset. Aging backwards isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about alignment. It’s about nervous system regulation. It’s about becoming something bigger than yourself. It’s about choosing expansion over contraction — again and again. Because here’s the truth: Every time you expand and then shrink back to safety, your body feels it. Your spirit feels it. Your leadership feels it. You did not come this far to go back to playing small. This conversation blends holistic wellness, neuroscience-informed insight, identity transformation, and real-life lived wisdom — to help you rise with energy, purpose, and power at any age. Whether you’re in midlife reinvention, second chapter leadership, or simply ready to feel fully alive again — this episode will wake something up in you. 🔥 Don’t contract. 🔥 Don’t shrink. 🔥 Rise forward.

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

    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.

    19|2026 Is the Year We Rise: Breaking Free From Narcissistic Patterns (Without Labels or Shame)

    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.

    18| Trauma-Process in Private, Lead in Public. The difference between embodied storytelling and emotional leakage

    Just because you’re healing doesn’t mean you should lead from the wound. In Part 2 of this conversation with Michelle Barr, we’re naming a hard truth many leaders avoid- Not every season of healing belongs on a public stage—especially in business. This episode is about discernment, timing, and identity. When women show up while still regulated by survival—processing pain in real time, sharing from dysregulation, or leading from an unfinished identity—it doesn’t build trust. It quietly erodes authority, clarity, and nervous-system safety for everyone involved. This is not a message against vulnerability. It’s a message about embodied leadership. We explore why: Your wound is not your brand Healing in public can unintentionally lock you into an old identity Oversharing while dysregulated keeps your nervous system—and your business—stuck in survival True credibility comes from integration, not exposure Leaders don’t abandon transparency—they practice timing and regulation You’ll learn the difference between: Sharing as catharsis vs sharing as service Old-identity storytelling vs integrated leadership narrative Processing trauma vs leading transformation Being relatable vs being regulating This episode is for the woman who knows she’s evolved—but hasn’t fully stopped introducing herself as who she used to be. Because leadership isn’t about telling your story while you’re still in it. It’s about showing up as the woman who has crossed the bridge. Process in private. Integrate fully. Then lead from who you are now—not who you survived as.

    17|Healed But Still Exhausted? The trauma conversation high-achieving women need to hear

    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. She is best known as a Personal Transformation Specialist with over 30 years of experience working with her clients at a deep level to achieve -  lasting healing and transformation that leads to success in every area of their lives. 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.
