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.
