Summary

#308: Have you ever found yourself in a challenging situation where you felt triggered and unsure of how to respond?

In this powerful episode, I share a recent experience where a man started verbally attacking me for simply explaining some science. But thanks to my somatic practices, I was able to stay grounded, present, and not let his words make me doubt myself.

This is the gift of being in our bodies - the self-trust and choicefulness that allows us to respond instead of react, even in challenging situations.

0:00.0	This is feminist wellness, and I'm your host,
0:11.3	Nurse Practitioner, Functional Medicine expert, and life coach, Victoria Albina.
0:15.6	I'll show you how to get unstuck, drop the anxiety, perfectionism, and codependency,
0:20.2	so you can live from your beautiful
0:22.0	heart. Welcome, my love. Let's get started.
0:28.7	Hello, hello, my love. I hope this finds you doing so well. I just wanted to note right from
0:35.9	jump, my voice sounds like I have a cold because I have a cold. I'm pretty frustrated about it because I am extremely careful to not get sick. But, you know, it's a whole other subject. We could talk about it later. I'm going to keep today short and sweet because I need to get back to couch.
0:56.5	But I wanted to talk about self-trust because something happened over the holidays that I
1:02.4	really want to share with you. So I've been thinking a lot about how to talk about somatics and why
1:08.4	it matters. Like, why friggin' bother? Why feel your feelings in your body? Why be
1:12.9	present in your body? Like, why? Why do I run anchored? Why is anchored six months? Why is the
1:19.7	somatic studio three months? Why do we need this? Why does it matter? And so the universe very kindly gave me a pretty lousy evening
1:32.7	that is so exemplary of why we need this, and I'm here to share it with you. So,
1:38.1	so 2024 in general was very challenging. Some big health issues, you know, we moved countries. Somebody said,
1:47.3	oh, well, you're just moving to Canada. No, it's immigration is still a really big deal,
1:51.8	even if it's the country next door, even if they mostly speak the same language. They say
1:58.3	sorry a lot here. It's kind of wild. But it's been a lot of year.
2:04.0	And then someone, how to say this eloquently, someone really messed some major stuff up in November that made the last two months incredibly, incredibly challenging.
2:16.1	It was like challenge after challenge after
2:18.1	challenge, which my astrologer was like, yes, of course, because I don't know, Saturn's in your
2:23.2	snout. I don't know what he said, but he was like, yes, that makes sense. And it shall soon pass.
2:29.4	My point is, my resilience has felt particularly low. My resourcing has felt particularly.
