In our latest episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, we are thrilled to welcome Victoria Albina, a passionate nurse practitioner, life coach, and breath work facilitator with over 20 years of experience in health and wellness. Victoriaโs mission is to empower women to break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, reclaim their joy, and live their most vibrant lives.
Victoria delves deep into the concept of emotional outsourcing, a term she coined to describe the chronic and habitual sourcing of our sense of safety, worth, belonging, and validation from external sources rather than from within ourselves. She explains how this mindset often manifests as physical health concerns, such as digestive issues, chronic exhaustion, and autoimmune disorders, which are exacerbated by nervous system dysregulation and limiting beliefs.
One of the key takeaways from our conversation is the importance of self-love and mindfulness in overcoming these challenges. Victoria shares practical strategies for cultivating a mindset that supports true well-being and happiness. She emphasizes the need to reconnect with our bodies through somatic practices, which involve bringing our attention, love, care, and attunement back to ourselves.
Victoria also highlights the significance of interdependence in our relationships. Unlike codependency, where we demand our needs be met by others, interdependence allows us to meet each other in the middle with mutuality, reciprocity, and grace. This approach fosters healthier, more balanced relationships where both parties feel valued and supported.
Throughout the episode, Victoria offers valuable insights into how we can renegotiate the stories we tell ourselves about our worth and capabilities. She encourages us to be curious, compassionate, and caring towards ourselves, celebrating the brilliant survival skills we developed in childhood while also working to change behaviors that no longer serve us.
If youโre ready to take charge of your life and transform your mindset, this episode is a must-listen. Victoriaโs wisdom and practical advice will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to reclaim your joy and live your most vibrant life.
