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.

Show notes

Ep #35: Thinking Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

Tune in today to discover how your monkey mind provides you with thoughts, and why it’s up to you whether you believe them or not. I’m sharing how to create cognitive distance between your monkey mind and your consciousness and bring your old habitual thoughts to the surface, so you can analyze them, start choosing the ones that actually serve you, and changing the ones that don’t.

Ep #34: Self-Care Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

On this episode, I’m addressing what I consider to be the ultimate self-care practice, and how you can start to learn this skill to drop all the cyclical stories of feeling stressed or overwhelmed, and in turn taking actions that you might call self-care, but aren’t actually serving you in the long-run.
