Feminist Wellness — Alternative Health
Feminist Wellness

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.

New episodes weekly. Start anywhere.

Ep #322: Why You Keep Fighting the Same Fights (And How to Actually Shift Them) Apr 17, 2025

Show notes

#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.

In this week's episode, I dive into the four nervous system responses that show up during conflict—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how each one shapes your reactions in ways you might not even realize.

Ep #321: What Is Embodiment? Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

#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. And in a world that rewards overthinking and overfunctioning, checking out of your body can feel like the only way to survive.

In this week's episode, I dive into the concept of embodiment - what it really means beyond the wellness buzzword, and why it's the missing piece in your personal growth journey.

Ep #320: What’s Wrong with “Wellness” Apr 03, 2025

Show notes

#320: Have you noticed how "wellness" has become more about expensive supplements and exclusive retreats than actual healing?

It's time we had an honest conversation about how the wellness industry has been hijacked by capitalism and privilege, leaving behind the very people who need healing most.

In this week's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the wellness industrial complex and offering a different vision - one that's rooted in accessibility, community care, and genuine healing.

Ep #319: Getting Anchored with Dr. Ashley Albers, DO Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

#319: Have you ever felt like you're constantly trying to get everything "right"?

Like you're stuck in an endless cycle of seeking validation from others, while your own voice gets smaller and smaller?

Today, I want to share a powerful story that might feel familiar.

Dr. Ashley Albers, a physician who went through my Anchored program, once couldn't even speak during coaching sessions. Her body's message was clear: "We are not safe."

But through somatic work and dedicated practice, she transformed that relationship with herself and her body, and she’s telling us about it in this week’s episode.

Ep #318: Reclaiming Emotional Space for Yourself and Others Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

#318: Have you ever caught yourself dismissing someone's feelings with phrases like "at least..." or "it could be worse"?

We often do this with the best intentions - trying to help, trying to fix, trying to make things better. But what if these well-meaning responses are actually creating emotional distance in our relationships?

In today's episode, I dive into why we struggle to let others have their feelings and how to reclaim emotional space - both for ourselves and those we love.

Show notes

#317: If you're the person everyone comes to with their problems, or if you find yourself exhausted from managing others' emotional states, this week's episode is for you.

Here's the truth: Your tendency to take on others' emotions isn't just a personal quirk – it's deeply rooted in systems of oppression and societal conditioning that have taught us to prioritize others' feelings over our own.

#316: Have you ever caught yourself trying to fix someone's feelings instead of just listening?

In this episode, I dive into the difference between processing emotions and getting stuck in them.
