When you learn to anchor into your own worth, the world no longer gets to decide how you feel about yourself. Beatriz Victoria Albina brings powerful insight and clarity to the conversation on nervous system regulation, emotional outsourcing, and the lifelong practice of coming home to yourself. With equal parts warmth and wisdom, she shares how healing begins when we stop chasing external validation and start reconnecting to the safety, belonging, and worth that already live within us. This conversation is a gentle call to shift from survival mode to self-anchored living—where authenticity and inner peace can finally take root.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional outsourcing happens when you rely on others to define your safety, worth, or sense of belonging.
• Nervous system dysregulation can show up as anxiety, over-functioning, or emotional numbness—and it's more common than you think.
• Healing doesn't mean eliminating big emotions; it means learning how to feel them without abandoning yourself.
• Anchoring into your truth requires self-awareness, self-regulation, and a commitment to coming back to center—again and again.
• Regulation is a daily practice, not a quick fix—and community, nature, and breath are powerful allies in that process.

About Beatriz Victoria Albina:

Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, author of the forthcoming "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits" (expected Sept 30, Hachette Balance) and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems and rewire their minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people pleasing and reclaim their joy. She is the host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast, holds a Masters degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Béa grew up in the great state of Rhode Island. She has been working in health & wellness for over 20 years and lives with her wife, Billey Albina.

Change doesn't always come with a breakthrough—it often begins with a single small step taken with intention. Brianna Wiest shares her wisdom on how micro shifts, emotional awareness, and self-compassion can transform not only your habits but your entire life. With clarity and heart, she explores the power of slowing down, embracing seasons of transition, and building emotional architecture that supports lasting growth. Her perspective reminds us that the life we're waiting for is already unfolding—one small, consistent choice at a time.

Key Takeaways:

• Small, intentional actions create momentum for long-term transformation without overwhelming your nervous system.
• Emotional architecture helps you process feelings as teachers, not obstacles.
• Self-sabotage often masks a deeper need for safety or care—identifying those needs can break the cycle.
• Consistent routines and community connections are essential to staying grounded during life's in-between seasons.
• Trusting your journey means surrendering to the present and aligning with your own pace of growth.

About Brianna Wiest:

Healing often begins with the courage to ask questions—and the right guide to walk you through the answers. Dr. Jill Jenkins shares how pediatric oral health connects to far more than teeth, influencing everything from nursing success to sleep, speech, and even a child's overall development. With warmth and wisdom, she explains how individualized care and a collaborative approach with other practitioners can empower parents to identify tongue ties and make confident decisions. Her passion is a reminder that small interventions early on can create ripple effects of wellness for a lifetime.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding tongue ties and their subtle symptoms can help parents advocate for their child's health.

• A multidisciplinary approach—including dentists, lactation consultants, and bodywork—leads to better outcomes.

• Early, individualized care builds a foundation for proper oral function and overall well-being.

• Parents' instincts are powerful; trusting your gut can lead to answers others might overlook.

• Restoring oral function can positively impact sleep, feeding, and emotional connection between parent and child.

About Dr. Jill Jenkins:

With almost 20 years of experience as a pediatric dentist, Dr Jill Jenkins felt like there wasn't a child she couldn't help through her pediatric dental practice, Jenkins Dentistry for Kids. That was until 2 of her long term employees had infants with tongue tie restrictions, requiring frenectomy procedures. Without the proper training and equipment, Dr Jenkins had to refer her patients to another practitioner at a vulnerable time for the families who had come to trust her. So, after extensive coursework and in-person observation with one of the most renowned tongue tie pediatric dentists in the field, Dr Richard Baxter, Dr Jenkins is thrilled to now be able to provide frenectomy services to patients through the establishment of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. By utilizing the state of the art Lightscalpel CO2 laser and working closely with functional providers, Dr Jenkins is confident that patients receive exceptional care before, during and post-procedure to ensure not only a precise tongue tie release, but also the movement and functionality the release is designed to achieve.

Dr Jill Jenkins attended dental school and her pediatric residency at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry and Children's Mercy Hospital. After 15 years in her original partnership, Dr Jenkins pivoted to develop a practice based on her own patient and team centered philosophy to open Jenkins Dentistry for Kids with locations in Lenexa and Shawnee. She is also the owner and founder of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals.

Dr Jenkins has served organized dentistry in many volunteer roles throughout her career, most notably as President of the Fifth District Dental Society of Kansas, President of the State of Kansas Dental Association and currently as Chair of the KDA Membership committee, member of the ADA Council on Membership, and as a Delegate for the State of Kansas to the ADA.

Dr Jenkins is a board certified pediatric dentist, and is involved with many professional organizations where she is a diplomate for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy, fellow of the American College of Dentists and fellow of the International College of Dentists.

She also received the Women Who Mean Business Award from the Kansas City Business Journal in 2017, where she continues to stay active. She has also been awarded Dentist of the Year both locally and at the state level. Dr Jenkins has been married for over 25 years and is fortunate to have 3 amazing children.

Healing often begins with listening—not just to your body, but to the quiet guidance within. Dr. Carol Phillips shares a life shaped by intuition, faith, and a deep calling to help others heal. From working with newborns to supporting adults in releasing stored trauma, her journey blends science and spirituality into a practice that empowers others to trust their own inner wisdom. Her stories remind us that when we surrender control and allow space for energy, connection, and faith, profound transformation can unfold in ways we never imagined.

Key Takeaways:

• Trusting your intuition creates space for deeper healing and alignment in your life.

• The body holds memories of physical and emotional trauma, and releasing them can restore balance.

• Healing happens most powerfully when practitioners act as guides, not controllers.

• Even newborns benefit from gentle, energy-based care to support healthy development.

• Surrendering to your own healing journey allows unexpected wisdom and guidance to surface.

About Dr. Carol Phillips:

Through the art of storytelling, in Pursuit of Destiny, Dr. Carol Phillips shares many miraculous events that she witnessed throughout her career. Introducing readers to the incredible world of chiropractic care and craniosacral therapy, she also explores the mysterious aspects of entering the world of spirit, which may happen when a provider becomes a clear and open conduit allowing a person's higher power to communicate.

Born vaginally as a footling breech baby, Dr. Carol suffered from chronic migraines, complicated pregnancies, and chronic back pain that resulted in a full hysterectomy in her late twenties. Carol was introduced to chiropractic care after her first daughter endured a supposedly incurable condition for the first six years of her life. After watching her daughter's miraculous recovery, Carol began her own journey to find relief for her chronic health issues. After receiving an Associate of Applied Science degree, Bachelor of Art degree, and Doctor of Chiropractic degree, she went on to become a specialist in pediatric and maternal chiropractic and craniosacral therapy.

Dr. Carol has shared her accumulated knowledge with thousands of people around the world for more than three decades. Her Dynamic Body Balancing (DBB) workshops are open to anyone interested in helping others in their personal healing journeys.

Dr. Carol J. Phillips is the founder of Dynamic Body Balancing. To learn more about DBB workshops, visit www.dynamicbodybalancing.com.

Your story has power—but only if you take the time to own it. Dr. Michelle Robin reflects on the decade since her life-altering bike accident, sharing how the real healing happened not just in her body, but in her mindset, her purpose, and her ability to receive. This part of the journey is about slowing down, listening deeper, and choosing to see the experience as something that happened for her, not to her. With honesty and heart, she invites us to ask better questions, embrace our own medicine, and build rhythms of well-being that support us when life shifts unexpectedly.

Key Takeaways:

• Writing your wellness story can reveal patterns, healing gaps, and insights that support future growth.

• Empathy deepens when you've personally experienced pain, and that shift can transform how you show up for others.

• Learning to receive—help, support, love—is a skill that strengthens your ability to heal.

• Comparing your gifts to others only dims your light; your unique "medicine" is exactly what the world needs.

• Hope is the missing ingredient in many wellness journeys—find it, cultivate it, and protect it.

Sometimes your greatest shift starts with a moment you never saw coming. Ten years after her bike accident, Dr. Michelle Robin reflects on how that day cracked her wide open—not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. With honesty and grace, she shares how building a foundation of wellness long before the accident became the anchor that supported her healing. This isn't just a story about recovery—it's a powerful reminder to know who you are outside your role, to listen when your body speaks, and to surround yourself with a community that lifts you when you can't stand on your own.

Key Takeaways:

• Consistent wellness habits before a crisis can dramatically influence your ability to heal and recover.

• Building your support system before you need it makes all the difference in times of uncertainty.

• Your identity must extend beyond your profession—especially when life forces you to pause.

• Stillness can be a powerful teacher when you're used to living in motion.

• Letting go of control and trusting the healing process can open doors to deeper spiritual and emotional growth.

Wellness doesn't have to be overwhelming—it starts with small, consistent choices that reconnect you to your body, your rhythm, and your purpose. Dr. Michelle Robin celebrates 15 years of Wellness on a Shoestring by revisiting the simple habits that have helped thousands reclaim their energy, focus, and joy. From sleep hygiene to hydration, movement to mindset, she reminds us that transformation isn't about perfection—it's about showing up, tuning in, and making space for what truly matters. This summer, the invitation is clear: slow down, simplify, and start where you are.

• Sleep is foundational; even small shifts in bedtime routines can improve energy and mental clarity.
• Learning to reflect on what your body is telling you builds self-awareness and prevents burnout.
• Movement doesn't have to be complicated—just keep your body in motion, especially your spine.
• Food is fuel and information—cleaning up your diet can unlock better mood, digestion, and focus.
• Gratitude and emotional clarity are just as essential to health as nutrition and hydration.
