(This episode originally aired in summer 2025, and we're bringing it back because somatic work and nervous system regulation is so very important at this time)
“We are all just toddlers, but taller.” - Beatriz Victoria Albina
Somatic therapy is something that I’ve been really intrigued about in my own life, and before this conversation I didn’t quite understand it. My new friend Beatriz Victoria Albina has changed that. In today’s episode she’ll beautifully explain what somatic therapy is, and how it can help those of us who were socialized in ways that created perfectionist, co-dependent or people pleasing habits so that we can live life in a way that is kinder to our nervous systems.
Beatriz Victoria Albina is a Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, Nurse Practitioner, and has a Masters in Public Health. She is the host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast. Her new book, End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits comes out in September!
How Béa’s work came to include a whole self approach, including functional medicine, the somatic nervous system and life coaching
Why you should make the shift from labeling triggers as ‘core wounds’ to ‘core wisdom’
How to ‘orient and ground’ in moments of trigger using somatic exercises
The importance of feeling your ‘sacred anger’
What is emotional outsourcing?
