Today’s episode is a must-listen for every woman who has ever felt responsible for everyone else’s happiness but her own. I’m joined by the incredible Beatriz Victoria Albina — a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, Breathwork Guide, and bestselling author of End Emotional Outsourcing: A Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits (Hachette Balance, 2025).
Béa has spent over 20 years helping women reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and step out of old patterns that keep them stuck. Her work is powerful, deeply compassionate, and incredibly freeing.
This conversation goes there — childhood patterns, emotional outsourcing, nervous system regulation, codependency, and the lies perfectionism tells us. But we also talk about reclaiming joy, taking up space, and how women can finally come home to themselves.
Grab your journal, because this one is filled with moments you’ll want to pause, reflect, and come back to.
What emotional outsourcing really is — and why so many women do it without realizing
How childhood conditioning shapes our adult behaviors and relationship patterns
Why our nervous system often runs the show and how to finally regulate it
The connection between people-pleasing and feeling unsafe in your body
How somatic work helps you heal at the root instead of endlessly “managing” symptoms
Rewriting the perfectionist narrative and choosing good enough
Finding your joy again when you’ve spent years prioritizing everyone else
Breaking out of codependent patterns in friendships, relationships, and work
How women can become their own safe place
Why being surrounded by the right people changes everything
If this conversation spoke to your heart, I would love for you to take 60 seconds to leave a review. It truly helps the show grow and reach more women who need these conversations.**
