On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

Learn how to stop people pleasing, overcome codependency, and end perfectionism to reclaim your authentic power and build genuine self-worth.

If you're a high achiever who's tired of performing for others' approval while feeling disconnected from your true self, this codependency recovery conversation will shift everything for you.

So many of us have been conditioned to look outside ourselves for safety through people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependent behaviors. But what if the path to authentic living comes from ending what my guest calls emotional outsourcing—the habit of sourcing our worth from others instead of from within?

I'm speaking with Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP, author of End Emotional Outsourcing: A Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits. With over 20 years in health and wellness, she helps people stop people pleasing, overcome codependency, and regulate their nervous systems to reclaim authentic power.

In this people-pleasing recovery episode, you'll discover:

How to stop people pleasing and recognize emotional outsourcing patterns
Why perfectionism and codependency often begin as survival strategies
The BRAVE framework for nervous system regulation and self-worth building
How to overcome codependency through "kitten steps" and self-compassion
What healthy boundaries and interdependence look like in relationships
Somatic healing techniques to reconnect with your authentic self

Key Takeaways for Codependency Recovery:

People-pleasing habits are survival skills that can shift with nervous system healing
Small, consistent actions create sustainable change in overcoming perfectionism
Interdependence, not codependency, allows authentic living and genuine connection

Perfect for: High achievers struggling with people pleasing, anyone seeking codependency recovery, perfectionism healing, and authentic self-worth.
