Episode 696: Overcoming Codependency, Perfectionism and People-Pleasing with Beatriz Victoria Albina

I’m so excited to welcome back Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina to talk about something so many of us quietly wrestle with: emotional outsourcing. Béa is a master certified somatic life coach, UCSF-trained family nurse practitioner, and breath work meditation guide who helps humans socialized as women break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can reclaim their joy. A lot of what we cover in today’s episode shows up in her brand new book End Emotional Outsourcing.

We dig into what emotional outsourcing really is, how we hand over our sense of safety, belonging and worth to everyone and everything outside of ourselves, and the ripple effect that has on boundaries, relationships and your nervous system. Béa explains why talk therapy alone can leave you stuck, what is actually happening when you freeze in the moment, and how perfectionism can sneak into healing and personal growth.

And because you know I love practical takeaways, Béa shares simple somatic tools you can use right now to come back home to yourself. These small but powerful shifts help you rebuild self trust and stop outsourcing your emotional wellness.

What you will hear in this episode:

• What emotional outsourcing really is and how codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing all fit under it (3:58)

• Béa explains what she means when she says, “you do this healing in relationship…” (25:36) 

• Practical somatic practices to rebuild self-trust and move away from outsourcing (32:32)

• How to begin to rebuild trust with yourself and hear what your body wants (38:30)
