Functional Freeze & Feminist Healing, Ending Emotional Outsourcing with Beatriz Victoria Albina

If you've ever caught yourself shrinking, shutting down, or bending over backwards to keep the peace in your relationship—even when it costs you your own peace—this episode is for you.

I'm joined by feminist healer, trauma-informed coach, and author Béatriz Victoria Albina, whose groundbreaking new book Ending Emotional Outsourcing names what so many of us experience… but don't know how to describe.

Together, we unpack what happens when your body goes into a functional freeze—where you look fine on the outside, but feel disconnected on the inside. We talk about why so many high-achieving women end up over-functioning in their relationships, and how feminist healing helps you reclaim your voice, your agency, and your inner safety.

Whether you've been stuck in a loop of doing all the work, feeling like it's never enough, or just craving a new way to relate to your emotions and your marriage—this conversation is the place to start.
