Rise & Roar with the Badass Lioness

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.

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.

16| Burn Out or Rust Out -Why High-Achieving Women Are Either Exhausted or Stuck — and How to Reignite Without Burning Out

Is it burnout…Or is it rust out?
In Part 2 of this powerful conversation on the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness Podcast, Ginine Emily Smith continues the dialogue with Lizette Warner to explore the two silent states impacting high-achieving women everywhere: burnout and rust out.
Burnout comes from overextension — being brilliant for too long without rest, boundaries, or support.Rust out comes from underutilization — when capable, creative women feel bored, unseen, stuck, or disconnected from purpose.
Both drain energy.Both impact confidence, motivation, and well-being.And both are often misunderstood.
This episode dives deep into how women move from overgiving to underliving, and why neither state is a personal failure — but a signal that something needs recalibration.
This conversation is not theory.It’s grounded in decades of lived experience, leadership, and real-life reinvention.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The difference between burnout and rust out — and how to recognize which one you’re in
Why capable women are especially vulnerable to both
How identity, self-worth, and nervous system patterns play a role
Why “pushing harder” or “waiting it out” never works
How to reignite purpose, energy, and momentum without self-abandonment
What sustainable high performance actually looks like for women
If you feel tired but restless…If success no longer excites you…If you know you’re meant for more but don’t want to burn out again —
This episode will give you language, clarity, and direction.
🦁 You’re not lazy.You’re not broken.You’re either burned out — or rusting out.And both can be healed.

15|Burn Out Isn't Failure - It's Brilliance Over-Extended

Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s often the result of being brilliant for too long without support, boundaries, or rest.
In this powerful episode of the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness Podcast, Ginine Emily Smith sits down with Lizette Warnerto reframe one of the most misunderstood experiences facing high-achieving women today: burnout.
This conversation is for the women who:
Carry responsibility effortlessly
Lead, give, and hold everything together
Have been “the strong one” for years
Appear successful on the outside but feel depleted on the inside
Together, Ginine and Lizette explore why burnout is not weakness — but often a sign of overextension, unprotected brilliance, and identity rooted in output instead of presence.
This episode is not theory.It’s grounded in lived experience, leadership, and emotional truth.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why burnout happens most often to capable, driven women
How brilliance without boundaries leads to exhaustion
The nervous system’s role in high-achiever burnout
How to stop self-abandoning in the name of success
What it means to lead, perform, and live without burning out
How to reclaim energy, clarity, and self-worth without quitting your life

This episode will meet you exactly where you are.
🦁 You’re not broken.You’re brilliant.It’s time to protect your brilliance — not punish it
