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.

#312: Do you ever catch yourself labeling feelings like anger or sadness as "bad" or "negative"?

In a world obsessed with toxic positivity, it's easy to internalize the message that certain emotions are unacceptable. But the truth is, emotions are not moral - they're messages from our bodies that deserve to be heard.

In this week’s episode, I explore the role of shame, cultural conditioning, and emotional outsourcing in making it hard to feel our feelings. Plus, I share a simple somatic practice to help you start reconnecting with your emotions in a gentle, compassionate way.

Ep #308: Somatics and Self-Trust Jan 09, 2025

Show notes

#308: Have you ever found yourself in a challenging situation where you felt triggered and unsure of how to respond?

In this powerful episode, I share a recent experience where a man started verbally attacking me for simply explaining some science. But thanks to my somatic practices, I was able to stay grounded, present, and not let his words make me doubt myself.

This is the gift of being in our bodies - the self-trust and choicefulness that allows us to respond instead of react, even in challenging situations.
