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 #54: 6 Surprising Codependent Habits Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

I’ve talked about codependent behaviors in terms of autonomy and interdependency here, but today I’m taking a slightly different approach. This tendency is really sneaky and can be so subtle that it’s hard to see in yourself, so I’m here to get nerdy, as always, to define terms and help you identify if you’re showing some of these signs so you can start working through them and shift your thinking.

My goal today is to remind you that bypassing these feelings can’t bring you the changes you want for your life and to, instead, give you a powerful way to start the healing process with love and compassion for yourself.
