Why Narcissists Target High-Performing Women:  Dr. Stephanie Byerly on the UnNumb Method, Trauma, and Reclaiming Your Power

Trauma-informed expert and Neuro-Obstetrical Anesthesiologist, Dr. Stephanie Byerly joins Rebecca Fitzsimmons on the Tactical Harmony Show to break down the achiever identity, narcissist patterns, and the mindset shifts high-performing women need to win more and stress less.  A former professor of anesthesiology and upcoming TEDx UCLA speaker, Dr. Byerly spent decades numbing patients in the operating room before a facilitator's blunt question changed her life. She had been emotionally numb her entire life too. From there she built the UnNumb Method, a coaching framework for ambitious professionals who look successful on paper while their soul dies inside. In this episode, Dr. Byerly breaks down why narcissists target high-powered women, how socialization traps women in an invisible operating system of shame, lack, and isolation, and the neuroscience behind why your brain chooses the dopamine hit over inner work.  She and Rebecca cover divine feminine leadership, generational patterns, suppressed rage, toxic positivity, and the moment Tony Robbins' words saved her during a medical emergency over Telluride, Colorado. If you hit every goal and still feel hollow, this conversation hands you the framework.  Tune in now for leadership tactics, performance strategies, personal development tools, and career advice from a keynote-ready coach. Built for entrepreneurs, executives, and ambitious leaders ready to author their own life.
