E 203: Narcissists, Neglect, and Knowing Better: A Conversation on Conscious Healing: Guest Sonya Achara

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Sonya Achara—a 14-year Marine Corps veteran, keynote speaker, podcast host, and author of the memoir "Remember Who You Are: My Journey to Higher Consciousness." Sonya shares her deeply personal story of overcoming childhood emotional neglect, abuse, and the impact of growing up in a home where intuition and feelings were dismissed.

Raised in a turbulent environment with a verbally, physically, and emotionally abusive mother and an emotionally absent father, Sonya describes the profound impact this had on her sense of self and her early relationships. She vulnerably explores how these early wounds conditioned her to question her intuition and accept dysfunction as normal—leading to patterns of narcissistic relationships later in life.

After leaving both the Marine Corps and an unhealthy relationship with her child’s father, Sonya embarked on a transformative healing journey. Her story is one of resilience, awakening, and reclaiming self-worth through conscious awareness and emotional healing.

Key themes in this episode include:

• 🚫 Dismissed Intuition: How childhood invalidation shapes our adult relationships and trust in self.
• 🔁 Trauma Patterns: Recognizing how unhealed childhood experiences show up in adult dynamics.
• 🧠 Mindset Shift: The power of becoming conscious of the way we speak to ourselves—and how this inner dialogue can either perpetuate pain or spark healing.
• 🧘🏽‍♀️ Somatic Healing & Inflammation: Sonya discusses how unprocessed trauma lodges in the body as inflammation, and the importance of grounding, movement, and energetic release.
• 🌿 Breaking the Cycle: Her mission to help others heal, awaken, and remember their inherent worth.

If you've ever struggled to trust your own voice, felt stuck in toxic cycles, or are beginning your own healing journey, Sonya's story will inspire you to reconnect with your truth and reclaim your power.
