308. Maybe You’re Not Actually Gluten Sensitive: Ending Emotional Outsourcing with Beatriz Victoria Albina [Part 1]
Today, I’m joined by Beatriz Victoria Albina for a conversation about the emotions that often hide beneath common gut issues—and why codependency isn’t the real problem (and boundaries aren’t the full solution).
We also dive into her new book, End Emotional Outsourcing: A Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist, and People-Pleasing Habits, where Beatriz offers powerful reframes on parenting, community, and self-trust.
This episode feels like a deep exhale—a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but coming home to yourself.
Join us for part one today, and come back next week for part two.
We discuss:
- Our backgrounds with functional medicine
- What it means to end emotional outsourcing
- Why codependency isn’t the problem and boundaries aren’t the answer
- How patriarchy undermines caring for each other and ourselves
- Why perfectionism isn’t an identity - it’s a habit
- Attachment styles and “good enough” parenting
- How to stop striving and actually relax
- Polyvagal theory for healthy skeptics
- Functional freeze and why we dissociate from joy
- Why people-pleasing isn’t a problem — it’s a protection strategy
