Ever get hit with a wave of anxiety, sadness, or anger and think, “Cool, but what do I do with this?” This episode is your answer. We're joined by somatic coach and nervous system expert Béa Victoria Albina, NP, MPH to talk about exactly what to do when big feelings show up (without spiraling, shutting down, or pretending you're fine). We're talking mini, step-by-step action plans for managing anger, sadness, and anxiety in the moment and how to stay fully present when you're actually feeling good (because joy can feel scary too). You'll walk away with grounded, science-backed tools to help you regulate your nervous system and feel fully capable of feeling your damn feels. What to do in the moment when you feel anxious, sad, or angry. Instead of spiraling or shutting down, try these quick, specific tools Béa shares to move through emotions with intention and grace. How to regulate your nervous system when you're overwhelmed. Learn small, science-backed shifts to lean in and ground yourself when emotions hit hard. The connection between the nervous system and your emotions. Béa explains why your body reacts the way it does and how understanding your nervous system can change your relationship with feelings. Why big joy can feel just as overwhelming as big sadness. And what to do so you don't shut down when things are actually good. How to stop gaslighting yourself when you're having a hard day. We unpack the internalized beliefs that tell us to “suck it up” and offer alternatives that actually support healing. The surprisingly powerful tool of naming what you feel. (Yes, it actually works and here's how to do it.) How to stop managing emotions with productivity. We explore why many of us cope by “doing more” and how to shift into actually feeling more without falling apart. Scripts for saying what you need without the guilt. Whether you're with a partner, a therapist, or just trying to validate yourself, here's how to express what you need clearly and compassionately. PREORDER BÉA'S BOOK HERE! Visit her website HERE!

What does it really mean to “listen to your body”? In this episode, I talk with Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Master Certified Somatic Life Coach. We explore the world of somatics - the study and practice of embodied awareness. Béa unpacks what somatics truly means, how our nervous systems hold onto old patterns, and why building a sense of safety in the body is essential for real change. We discuss practical tools for grounding, regulating emotions, and cultivating agency in the face of everyday stressors.

Eight years ago, I landed myself in the office of a nurse practitioner/functional medicine specialist who specialized in gut health. I had been inexplicably bloated and exhausted for months and didn't know why. Little did I know that woman would go on to not only remedy my body, but change the overall trajectory of my life and career.Flash forward to today, while she's still an expert when it comes to our bodies, our nervous systems, and how the two speak to one another, her work is primarily focused on helping folks rid themselves of codependent, people-pleasing tendencies. And candidly, all the physical issues I suffered from back in 2017 were really just a manifestation of mental and emotional turmoil. Namely, living a life that was more based on external approval than internal fulfillment.She brings a really fresh perspective to codependency, and what she refers to as "emotional outsourcing."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.Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

Feeling like anxiety and panic are running the show? You're not alone. But here's the thing—anxiety isn't supposed to be part of what it means to be doing woman's work. Yet, so many of us experience it that it feels like it's become part of the job description. In this episode, we're flipping the narrative from “What's wrong with me?” to “What is my body trying to tell me?”—because it's time to panic less and live more. Our guest, Dr. Nicole Cain, is a trailblazer in integrative mental and emotional wellness. With a degree in clinical psychology, training in EMDR, and a license as a Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Cain takes a multidisciplinary approach that combines medical, psychological, and holistic health. She's also the author of Panic Proof: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever. If you've been feeling like anxiety is calling the shots, this conversation is here to remind you—you get the final word. Your body isn't betraying you; it's communicating with you. Thanks to Dr. Cain, you'll learn it's not about fixing what's "wrong" but about tuning in, listening, and giving your body exactly what it needs. So here's to living lighter, loving harder, and reminding anxiety that we're the ones in charge.

This episode is all about reconnecting with and healing our nervous systems, so we can better access our inner wisdom and live more authentically. Victoria Albina is a Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, Family Nurse Practitioner and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping women realize that they are their own best healers by reconnecting with their bodies and 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, is trained in Somatic Experiencing, holds a Masters degree in Public Health, and has been working in health and wellness for over 20 years. Our dysregulated nervous systems explain the way we understand and react to the world even more than our conscious minds or our inner knowing.  And that is something I'd love for us all to heal.  I speak for many of us when I say it feels like all of our systems are nervous nowadays, and I doubt the medical community would change the name, but wouldn't it feel great to have a confident system instead?

But that's no way to be in a loving, caring relationship. The magic lies somewhere in the middle, and it starts by making the choice to no longer self-abandon, which takes a whole lot of self-love.    Join me this week to learn my roadmap for breaking free from the self-abandonment cycle and embracing a life of greater interdependence. You'll hear how to use somatics and thought work to manage difficult emotions, the importance of setting boundaries, and concrete tools for interrupting this cycle so you can reclaim your authentic sense of self.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://victoriaalbina.com/292
