This week’s episode is one I’ve been dying to bring you! I finally got to chat with the incredible Béa Victoria Albina, NP, MPH. She’s a somatic experiencing practitioner, feminist wellness coach, and all-around magical human being. We dove into her signature concept of emotional outsourcing—aka relying on other people for our sense of worth, safety, and belonging (yeah, ouch).

We talked about EVERYTHING, from breaking free of codependency to staying grounded in your values—even in the messiest of situations. Béa also shared her genius tips for regulating your nervous system and letting yourself actually feel your feelings (not just shove them down or ignore them).

Here’s What We Got Into:

Codependency vs. Interdependence: What’s the difference? (Hint: interdependence is the vibe we’re going for).

Emotional outsourcing: Béa breaks down how it sneaks into our lives and keeps us stuck.

Nervous system regulation: What it really means, and why it’s not as simple as tapping your forehead and calling it a day.

Sacred rage: Why anger is actually a good thing when it’s intentional and aligned with your values.

The beauty of reciprocal relationships: How to stop keeping score and start building connections that energize you.

Big Life Moves 

I’ve been hinting at a major life change, and here’s the deal: I’m working on my escape plan to move abroad! While I’m not on a plane just yet, I’m getting serious about making it happen, and I want to invite you along for the ride.

That’s why I’m joining the Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp with the Move Abroad Coach. It’s a 4-day LIVE virtual bootcamp from January 25th-28th at 11 AM Eastern (with replays available). This bootcamp is all about creating a step-by-step action plan to move abroad in a year or less. If moving abroad has been on your dream list, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for!
