Details

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.

Ep #372: Reclaim Rest: How to Rest When It Feels Unsafe (Part 2)
#372: What if the reason rest feels so hard isn’t because you’re bad at it, but because your body has learned that rest is unsafe? What if slowing down doesn’t feel peaceful, but instead sparks anxiety, guilt, or that crawling-out-of-your-skin feeling? In this episode, I get into the real, practical side of rest, especially for those of us whose nervous systems have been shaped by emotional outsourcing. Last week, we explored why rest feels threatening. Now we’re focusing on how to actually rest in real life, when your body resists it. Because knowing you need rest and knowing how to rest are two completely different skills. Tune in this week to learn how to identify the type of rest your body actually needs, from physical and sensory to emotional and spiritual rest, and how to meet yourself there with small, doable practices. I’ll also walk you through what to do when rest brings up anxiety, guilt, or fear, and how to work with your nervous system so rest can start to feel safe, supportive, and truly restorative.

Tenderoni Hotline #26: Emotional Outsourcing in Relationships: When Both People Do It + Reaching For Food After Healing

Tenderoni Hotline #26: Emotional Outsourcing in Relationships: When Both People Do It + Reaching For Food After Healing
Tenderoni Hotline #26: What happens when both people in a relationship are looking to each other for safety, reassurance, and a sense of “we’re okay”… but neither nervous system can consistently provide it? In this tender and honest episode, we explore the often unspoken dynamic of mutual emotional outsourcing, and why it can leave even the most loving relationships feeling intense, fragile, or stuck in cycles that don’t quite resolve. Together, we look at what it means to shift from codependency into true interdependence, not by becoming perfectly regulated, but by building a deeper, more reliable sense of safety within yourself while learning how to gently support one another. And we also turn toward a question so many of us carry quietly: why certain coping patterns, like reaching for sugar or food, can persist even after years of healing work. With compassion, nervous system insight, and a whole lot of permission to be human, this episode invites you to get curious about your patterns, soften the shame, and begin creating a little more space between impulse and choice. You are not broken. Your body is trying to care for you. And there is a way to meet it with more understanding, more steadiness, and more love.Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

Ep #371: Reclaim Rest: The Link Between Rest and Emotional Outsourcing (Part 1)
#371: Do you feel like you’re constantly running on empty, struggling to find space for rest while the world around you keeps demanding more? It’s a common experience, and it’s often the result of emotional outsourcing. But what if rest could be the key to reclaiming your energy, your values, and your connection to what matters most? In this episode, I'm diving into the concept of rest as an essential practice, not just for recharging, but for healing. Rest is often misunderstood as a luxury, but it’s a vital part of maintaining our physical, emotional, and mental well-being, and for equipping ourselves to show up fully for the things we care about, especially in a world that constantly asks for more. Tune in this week to learn why rest feels so hard to access for many of us and how it connects to emotional outsourcing. We’ll also talk about why rest isn’t selfish, how it can improve your relationships, and the different types of rest that are vital to integrate into your life.
