In this insightful episode of “Strong Mind, Strong Body,” host Angie Miller sits down with featured guest Bea Albina, author of the forthcoming book End Emotional Outsourcing. Together, they explore the concept of emotional outsourcing—a term coined by Bea to encompass codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing habits that keep us seeking validation, safety, and worth outside ourselves rather than from within.

Bea shares her personal and professional experience working with women of all ages, particularly those who, after decades of prioritizing others’ needs, find themselves disconnected from their own desires and sense of self. The discussion dives into how childhood conditioning and societal expectations—especially for women—encourage emotional outsourcing, leading to a loss of authenticity and chronic self-sacrifice.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of why these patterns feel so ingrained, how they show up in family, work, and intimate relationships, and the real toll they take on our nervous systems. Bea introduces practical tools rooted in somatic (body-based) practices, emphasizing small, compassionate steps to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and build a sense of safety from within.

With real-life examples and lively conversation, Angie and Bea shed light on how to gently unravel lifelong habits and reclaim agency over your emotional world. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to move beyond people-pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency, towards a more present, empowered, and self-connected life.
