What do you really want the second half of your life to look like? 

Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life? 

This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I’m here to tell you there IS another way. 

In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can’t always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap. 

Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained. 

Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection.

Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you’ve been craving for years!

QUOTES

“This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.” 

“That’s the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn't a problem.’ And that's that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It's really vital work.” 

“What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence. Intunement and presence.”
