What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re “broken,” but because you’ve been trained to put everyone else first? In this episode, I’m joined by Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP, to explore her powerful concept of emotional outsourcing—the habit of sourcing our safety, belonging, and worth from others instead of ourselves.
Béa shares how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and codependency are often survival strategies written into our nervous systems by childhood experiences, cultural conditioning, and even systemic forces. She explains the vital role of somatic awareness, why “kitten steps” create safer change than big leaps, and how to begin listening to your body’s needs in the smallest moments—like pausing before your morning coffee.
We also discuss:
This conversation is both compassionate and fiercely empowering, offering real-world practices to help you step back into your own worth, safety, and belonging—without guilt or apology.
