Feminist Wellness
Béa Victoria Albina
You weren't born anxious, depleted, and second-guessing yourself. You were taught to be.
The Feminist Wellness podcast is where nervous system science meets the truth nobody wants to say out loud: most of what you think is "self-care" is just performing wellness while your body stays stuck in survival mode.
Host Béa Victoria Albina - NP, life coach, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner - breaks down the codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing habits that keep you trapped in what she calls Emotional Outsourcing™: constantly looking outside yourself for permission, validation, and proof that you're enough.
This isn't another show about bubble baths and boundaries. It's about understanding why your body says yes when you mean no, why rest feels impossible, and how to stop treating your own needs like an inconvenience.
If you're done white-knuckling your way through life, performing okayness while feeling like you're constantly failing some invisible test, this show will help you see what's actually happening - and what becomes possible when you stop abandoning yourself to please everyone else.

Ep #226: Getting Anchored: The Self-Abandonment Cycle
#226: The self-abandonment cycle is a common response for those of us with emotional outsourcing habits. We look to over-give, over-perform, and over-function more than we want or have the capacity to, and it’s leading to a painful cycle that’s no longer serving you in your adult relationships. It’s a lot to realize we’ve been living in this cycle, often for decades, if not an entire lifetime. That’s why, on this episode, you’ll get a refresher on how the self-abandonment cycle gets activated and how it’s showing up for you before we discuss healing the self-abandonment cycle next week.
