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.

#329: This week, I sit down with Carey Cramer, an Anchored program alum, to explore their transformative journey through attachment healing and relational growth. Over the past two and a half years since completing the program, Carey has developed a completely new way of showing up in relationships - one marked by presence, trust, and authentic connection.Through our conversation, Carey shares how the combination of thought work and somatic practices helped them move from a place of constant relational dysregulation to being able to maintain healthy relationships. Carey's story demonstrates how doing this work ripples out to positively impact not just our own lives, but our entire community as we learn to show up with greater integrity and authenticity.

Ep #328: Knowing What You Want vs. What Others Expect
#328: Do you struggle to make decisions, not because you're unsure of your desires, but because you're constantly weighing everyone else's? This isn't just indecision; it's emotional outsourcing, a pattern where we disconnect from our own authentic wants in favor of what others expect.Tune in this week as I share how, through practical somatic practices and nervous system work, we can begin reconnecting with our authentic desires and rebuild trust in our own internal wisdom.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://beatrizalbina.com/328Mentioned in this episode:Buy Your Copy of End Emotional Outsourcing Today!Please support the book by reviewing it on Amazon or Goodreads.

Ep #327: Consent and Requests in Conversation
#327: Imagine cutting veggies after a long day when your partner bursts in venting about their coworker. You care deeply, but right now, your shoulders tense, your jaw locks, and you're just not available – though you never say so. Instead, you nod, make the right noises, and count the seconds until it ends. Later, you're both left feeling vaguely disconnected, with a subtle rupture hanging in the air between you.This disconnection happens when we skip conversational consent – not just physical consent, but emotional and energetic consent too. Most of us were never taught to pause and check, "Hey, are you available for this?"Join me this week as I break down the truth about consent and requests in conversation, and what it means to name what you need. You’ll learn why asking for consent is a practice that’s especially crucial for those of us working to overcome emotional outsourcing tendencies, and how incorporating conversational consent helps us create genuine connection in our relationships.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://beatrizalbina.com/327Mentioned in this episode:Buy Your Copy of End Emotional Outsourcing Today!Please support the book by reviewing it on Amazon or Goodreads.

#326: Have you ever felt that sharp sting of resentment when watching someone set a boundary with ease or embrace their imperfections without shame? That irritation you feel might be pointing to something deeper – the very freedoms you deny yourself every day.Join me this week to learn how our childhood pain shapes patterns that masquerade as virtues, making them nearly impossible to detect without compassionate awareness. You’ll learn a gentle, revolutionary practice to begin dismantling these invisible rebellions, and how this simple tool will help you start reclaiming the freedoms you've denied yourself and step into a life built around who you truly are, not who you're afraid of becoming.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://beatrizalbina.com/326Mentioned in this episode:Buy Your Copy of End Emotional Outsourcing Today!Please support the book by reviewing it on Amazon or Goodreads.

#322: Are you stuck in a relationship where every disagreement turns into an emotional marathon? Where the same wounds keep getting ripped open no matter how hard you try to heal them? When we fight with our partners, family members, or friends, what's really happening goes far beyond the words being exchanged.

#321: Have you been living from the neck up?Disembodiment doesn't happen by accident. Many of us learned early that being fully present in our bodies wasn't safe.
