Summary
#359: Have you been taught that your safety, belonging, and love were conditional? That they could only be earned by contorting yourself into someone else's idea of enough?
This week, I’m inviting you to step away from the pressure of resolutions and into a different kind of conversation for the new year. One that's about reclaiming the parts of you that have been quietly set aside. The parts of you that got buried under layers of self-doubt, fear, and the relentless pressure to be what others needed you to be. I'm talking here about your values: the core grounding principles that make you, you.
Tune in today to discover how resolutions are often just another set of icky, exhausting expectations. You'll learn why kitten steps (not baby steps, which are enormous!) are the nervous system-friendly way to make sustainable change. Most importantly, you'll understand that you don't need fixing because you were never broken, and that this work isn't about self-improvement - it's about self-remembrance.

| 0:00.0 | This is feminist wellness, and I'm your host, nurse practitioner, somatics, and nervous system nerd, and life coach, Bea Victoria Albina. |
| 0:18.3 | I'll show you how to get unstuck, drop the anxiety, |
| 0:21.0 | perfectionism, and codependency so you can live from your beautiful heart. Welcome, |
| 0:25.7 | my love. Let's get started. Hello, hello, my love. I hope this finds you doing so well. |
| 0:36.2 | Today is, in some calendarsars New Year's Day. And so I wanted to share a message |
| 0:43.9 | about values and reclaiming our values. So we can move beyond this silliness that is resolution |
| 0:52.5 | setting, which is really not kitten stepping. So if you're new |
| 0:57.0 | around here, kitten steps are what we take in this family, my tender raviolis, baby steps, |
| 1:03.5 | enormous. Resolutions, ridiculous. Let me explain what I'm talking about. So we are all inundated with the story that we |
| 1:12.0 | have to change our lives in these huge ways, but like immediately and like now and like yesterday |
| 1:16.3 | and you already fail. And they set us up to fail in grandiose ways. Understanding the neuroscience, |
| 1:24.6 | understanding how brains work, how hearts work, how humans work, |
| 1:29.6 | I want to invite us to slow our role and to not set us up for failure, to not say, |
| 1:37.3 | how am I going to do all the things, I'm going to do huge changes, and then a month or two or three |
| 1:43.0 | into the new year, you find yourself not doing the thing |
| 1:47.6 | and beating yourself up for the not doing. And so, I want to talk to you about values, |
| 1:54.2 | and a way to shift our framework for change to be one, base, and compassion, curiosity, and care. |
| 2:03.9 | This is the central tenet of feminist wellness of my book and emotional outsourcing, of the work I do with my clients in Anchored and the Somatic |
| 2:10.0 | Studio, and the way I seek to live my life day to day. My beauty. I hope this episode from the |
| 2:17.3 | Wayback Machine is helpful for you. I hope it's |
| 2:20.7 | supportive and I hope you go into 26, feeling renewed, supported, rested, or at least a little |
| 2:29.5 | more clear on your values and what truly matters to you. Take it away past me. |
