Feminist Wellness

by Béa Victoria Albina

You weren't born anxious, depleted, and second-guessing yourself. You were taught to be. The Feminist Wellness podcast is where nervous system science meets the truth nobody wants to say out loud: most of what you think is "self-care" is just performing wellness while your body stays stuck in survival mode. Host Béa Victoria Albina - NP, life coach, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner - breaks down the codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing habits that keep you trapped in what she calls Emotional Outsourcing™: constantly looking outside yourself for permission, validation, and proof that you're enough. This isn't another show about bubble baths and boundaries. It's about understanding why your body says yes when you mean no, why rest feels impossible, and how to stop treating your own needs like an inconvenience. If you're done white-knuckling your way through life, performing okayness while feeling like you're constantly failing some invisible test, this show will help you see what's actually happening - and what becomes possible when you stop abandoning yourself to please everyone else. New episodes weekly. Start anywhere.

I really appreciate Béa’s podcast. She says just what I needed to hear. I feel validated and like there’s a little bit more opening to the next step in my growth and healing after each episode. So, so grateful for this work and this podcast.❤️

HeatherHawthorn · Oct 2026

A gorgeously expressed guide to calm, autonomy, confidence, responsibility, and collective care, backed up by science and experience. I needed this podcast!

EforEmdashes · May 2026

I’ve leaned so much in such a short time listing to this podcast. Incredibly insightful and quite helpful. The perfect combination of therapy and coaching.

Val Flynn · May 2026

Gosh, just love listening to Béa! Wonderfully practical and applicable advice and it feels like she’s authentically in the room with you; a kind and wise auntie who loves you so much and wants you to be whole and healed. Thank you for doing this podcast! You are a gift to this world!

AmyLeighO · Apr 2026

I only listened to one episode and the info was great but it’s hard to get past the infantilizing language. I learned of the host from another podcast where she mentioned people taking issue with it as a sign that our culture has a problem with tenderness. I love tenderness! But for me overly affectionate words from a stranger feels like love bombing and fast tracking intimacy. Trust is built over time and jumping to pet names with strangers skips past that. It makes the whole podcast feel ungrounded and unsettling in a way that I did not enjoy.
