Every episode teaches me about my codependent, perfectionism, people pleasing actions that have caused me to be exhausted and resentful. If you are ready to put yourself FIRST (yikes), then please listen. I went back all the way to the beginning episodes and am so thankful to Victoria for being who she is - I love the science behind it all! She is an amazing force of science-nerd-witch-power!

Victoria’s podcast episodes have helped me put words to experiences I didn’t know how to explain to others, and release a lot of the fears and shame I had around having those experiences and feeling like something was wrong with me. After a single episode on functional freeze, I was a hooked listener. Every episode leaves me more educated about my body and empowered on how to better care for it than before - what more could you ask for from a wellness podcast? Though I have an advanced research background, I love the way Victoria breaks concepts down in ways that are easy for anyone to understand, AND incorporates somatic work into her episodes. She understands the ways her content can have an impact on her listeners, and provides active care while sharing the information because of that. I would highly recommend taking one of her free Polyvagal Theory workshops when she offers them - they are mind blowing! I love Victoria’s work so much that I applied to her Anchored program. Fingers crossed I am accepted! This work has already changed my life that I think I will leave the program a completely different and more healed person.

Episode 258 just blew my mind! Thank you for continuing to share your light with us each week 🫶

I feel so seen and understood; welcomed with so much warmth and gentleness. This feels like a lifeline ❤️

I had cats Insightful rich deliciousness

Victoria is a beautiful human. She inspires me to be kinder to myself

So helpful in learning and processing body sensations!

This is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. So helpful, so non-judgmental, so practical and real. Thank you for what you do!

A super helpful podcast for anyone struggling with emotional outsourcing and codependency. Informative content delivered with kindness and humor!

I appreciate this podcast and so much. The science, the remedies, identifying behaviors, and the empowering hype to heal have been such a light on my journey. Living cakefully has changed my life.

I have been binge listening to your podcast. I love your voice. It is so chill and positive and just makes my ear holes so happy. 😁 Thank you for making this.

This is a unique and unrelentingly helpful podcast. Thanks!

I Love this showwwrr

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PODCAST

Found this episode so incredibly helpful, Victoria! Thank you for the refresher. I went straight home and mapped out how my body reacts when triggered. I learned this a few years ago from you and stopped practicing and went back to self-judgement and flagellation. Happy to be reminded of these tools. Body rules!

Thank you, Victoria! Your weekly message is so insightful, inspiring and real. I have learned so much about my patterns listening to you. Through grace, self awareness and compassion, I’ve found a new way of being and am so grateful to you.

Life changing

As a nurse that struggles with codependency from childhood trauma this podcast has reached deep in me and helped me understand why I function the way I do. Now that I recognize and understand why I do what I do I have started the healing process. Victoria breaks down the recovery in a gentle yet direct way. I am so incredibly thankful for her work.

Imaging what the world would look like if everyone just listened to this podcast. ❤️

I so love Victoria’s work! It has been so helpful in just accepting me as I am; knowing that yes I am imperfect and that is ok. I am on the learning curve of loving myself and with that tender love and curiosity to really find out who I am. Thanks Victoria! Love bouncing in the waves.

When I found this show, it helped me put together the pieces of information I’ve been learning about myself. Victoria gave me the language to describe the parts of myself that were hurting 🤍 forever grateful

Victoria Albina has changed my life she is a tender ravioli. Thank you!

I just found this podcast a couple weeks ago. I’m going back to the beginning and catching up!!! Love it!

Awesome podcast !

Victoria, as a fellow nurse, a midwife and all around healer, womb to tomb, I love your podcast! Thank you for all you do! Blessings and I find all your work so helpful! I am selective about my own time and I really make your podcast a must listen to weekly. Love. Love Love.

It’s helped me so much gain insight into regulating my nervous system and the double standards that exist in a society as someone socialized as female. I appreciate the inclusivity of the language, as I’m non-binary, but still can relate to so much of the content. It’s incredibly comforting to learn that I can change my learned behaviors and don’t have to live in a state of dysregulation. Thank you!!!

I came across Feminist Wellness at the perfect time - I had reached my breaking point in the battle with people-pleasing and perfectionism. I was curious to understand why I found myself in the same ruts and eager to do the work, and I also seriously disliked myself. Victoria not only gives you a scientific window into “why” we do what we do - she gives you the “how” to start making changes. This pairing has helped me foster more self-compassion and in turn has empowered me to take courageous steps towards my continued growth. I am deeply grateful for Victoria’s generosity in sharing her gifts with the world and with me. “When one person heals, we heal the world.” - Victoria Albina

I enjoy this show and always learn something about myself or the world around me. But my favorite part is how she ends every show. It makes me feel better every time 💜

Victoria’s wisdom, scientific knowledge, years of experience, gentleness, and generosity blend together in this offering. It helps facilitate healing and offers language that so many of us need. Thank you, Victoria!

This podcast provides the language, validation, understanding, and kindness that we all need. Ten stars if possible. Thank you, Victoria, for sharing your bright light.

I encountered Victoria Albina when she was a guest on another podcast I adore and was introduced to polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation through her. She has provided a language for me help understand my patterns and thought processes and I couldn’t be more thankful. She helped me to embrace the tender ravioli within and care for her. Happy belated birthday, Victoria!

I always benefit from listening to Victoria’s uplifting, compassionate and helpful podcasts💚

This podcast cut thru the noise when I was deep in codependent habits, and I still come back to it all the time to aide me as I move further and further away from codependent living. I’ve shared this podcast widely because it’s deeply relatable, nerdy, silly, loving, practical, and evolving. Such a fan.

This show has changed my life and helped me to start my journey to becoming less codependent and understanding my thoughts and feelings better!

Victoria is a wonderfully compassionate human, so soothing to listen to, and so very, very right to focus on how our minds ultimately shape our feelings. The world needs more of almost all of what this show is all about.

Thank you Victoria 🙏 for transferring all of your knowledge and passion to help us find a better place and live a better human experience!! This show is rooted in science and knowledge from both her personal and professional experience. Consider taking a listen: if you stay open, curious and present you may just learn a ton and be able to work thru some common human challenges❣️

I’ve had many groundbreaking realizations while listening to this podcast! I so appreciate your work. Thank you for continuing to offer this very unique perspective.

I love the way Victoria explains deep (often traumatic) topics with levity, humor, and love. This podcast has made a huge impact on my people-pleasing, codependent, and perfectionistic tendencies. Reminds me to always come back to my body because it has so much wisdom. ❤️

This podcast is so helpful to me! I am really connecting with it. Thank you for putting your gift out into the world & helping others do the same.

Love this show! Victoria has a wonderful way of speaking to you and providing relatable stories to help you understand the concepts for application. These lessons are so important to feeling good about yourself, and being able to get back into your own mind.

Victoria Albina provides such a gift to the world through this podcast. I have really benefited from the real world questions she works through. She provides scientific explanations that really help explain the “why”. I love how she explains that we aren’t broken. We learned to survive well as children and now need to see if those adaptations are still serving us. She provides great guidance on steps to take if not. Thanks so much Victoria!

I’m listening from episode 1 and enjoying an episode each evening before bed. It helps me relax and go to bed with positive vibes and remind myself to be my own best supporter, fan, and loving friend.

Victoria’s insights are so incredibly helpful. I appreciate how actionable every single episode of Feminist Wellness is, and I truly walk away from every episode knowing how I can better my life! So thankful I came across this show.

Victoria is helping me identify my codependent and people pleasing thinking patterns and CHANGE THEM! I am so grateful for her, her work and her weekly podcasts. I started at the beginning and listen any time I have a spare moment. She has a beautiful, comforting voice and helps me face these difficult and painful experiences with self love and compassion.

I absolutely LOVE this podcast and I proselytize it to absolutely every person (seeking podcast recommendations or no haha). I get so much from every single episode that I eagerly wait for the newest episodes each week. There’s always some nugget for me to use in tandem with my personal therapy sessions. Each episode is an accessible length, usually less than 30m, which I appreciate, knowing I can get through the entire episode (let’s be real, “session” more like!) in one listen. Victoria’s reframe of “emotional outsourcing” has majorly shifted my perspective, and her loving accepting nature of our coping mechanisms we developed has absolutely helped me start to understand and heal my heart and inner little ones. Importantly: Feminist Wellness is a safe space - as a femme presenting nonbinary parent, I can relax in to each episode, trusting Victoria to use healing and inclusive language. Thank you for offering your time, knowledge, and love to the world. Please listen!!

Victoria discusses topics that I can resonate with and I am always learn something new from her!

Feminist Wellness is a life changer for me. I carve out time every Thursday to listen to the new episode during a walk, sometimes I take notes, I often revisit. Thank you thank you Victoria for offering these teachings, I’ve literally listened to #143 Letting Other People Be Wrong About You dozens of times. Thank you for combining somatics, thought work and mindfulness in a way nobody else does. Thank you for speaking and offering in ways that have me feeling heard and seen. Thank you for believing in all of us. My dream is to do Anchored one day 💕

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Victoria has the most gentle, loving, nerdy way of speaking and communicating ideas. She’s helping me learn to love my brain, my body, my nervous system, and even my responses, with such compassion and tenderness. I was listening to episodes out of order, but I decided that I wanted to start from the top, so I’ve been listening them in order for the last few weeks. I’m learning the most important thing I can do on this windy maze of healing, is to avoid sources that kindle the narrative that I’m broken, and immerse myself in sources that make me see my beautiful humanity. And, she is one who helps me do just that.

My therapist recommended listening to this podcast as part of my homework and as a tool to get more insight on different topics. First of all, I love listening and I have learned so much about myself. I love the compassion, love, and care placed in each episode. I feel seen, and I am so fortunate to have had this podcast recommended to me. I’ve learned about healing from childhood wounds to my codependent dating habits. I am grateful to have found this resource that not only has helped me in my healing journey, but has also helped me tackle tough topics about myself with so much love and compassion. ♥️

I heard Victoria on the Resetter Podcast and was thrilled to here she had her own Podcast! She is magically intuitive backed with scientific facts! She delivers in a soothing, storytelling and inspiring way! She goes into great depth that sooth your soul & you just want more!! Seriously, if you are into a bit of witchy-woo, science based information ~ look no further… Victoria is fantabulous 🌟💫⭐️✨
