(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! 

Today on WithIn: 

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? 

Beatriz has a special gift for listeners of this episode! Visit www.beatrizalbina.com/withinpod for a free suite of her inner child meditations and nervous system orienting tools.

There is a lot I want to accomplish this year, and in order to get there I’m dedicating myself to keeping my mindset clear, clean and aligned. Today I’ll share the six ways that I’m focusing on my mindset to ensure that I’m showing up for myself in the best way each day. 

Today’s Reminders From WithIn:

For women, and especially for mothers, the holiday season can feel so overwhelming. Between the expectations, the activities, and the responsibilities, it so often feels like we don’t actually get to enjoy the holidays… we just make them happen. I’ve often lost myself during these moments and I’ve made major changes to make sure I center myself in holidays to come. Your wants and needs matter, and this year I want to encourage you to make sure you’re listening to them so that you can feel the deep enjoyment that you deserve. 

Today on WithIn: 

Why it can feel so difficult for women to ‘opt out’ of the mental and physical load… and why it's okay to do it anyway. 

How I was conditioned to take on so much at the holidays and how I began to let it go 

My approach to the holidays today

An exercise to help you zero in on how you truly want to spend your holiday season
