The Space For Magic Podcast with Patty Lennon

Today’s guest is a Certified Life Coach, UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping women realize that they are their own best healers. Her goal is to help women break free from codependency, perfectionism and people-pleasing and reclaim their joy. Victoria Albina is sharing her story with Patty on today’s episode.

Victoria was in poor health, but conventional medicine couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. She decided to become a nurse practitioner so she could find out what was wrong with her and she’s now helping lots of others.

What she realized: the root cause of her issues was mind-set and limbic system related.

Did you know our bodies can hold our experiences for us? That’s why we get a stomachache when we’re anxious or a headache when we are worried. Often our physical ailments are emotionally related and emotionally based.

Victoria shares how our autonomic nervous system keeps our body going for us. That’s led by the vagus nerve. Victoria explains what’s optimal and how to understand the way our body manages stress.

Once we understand how our bodies work, it’s possible to understand the mind-body connection.

Having our feelings and giving them space, is really important.

Victoria shares insights around people-pleasing and perfectionism, two traits of codependency This stems from the belief that you are not worthy of love, so you have to source it from others outside of you instead of knowing it and trusting it within yourself.

Coming from compassion is a way to begin healing. Allowing yourself to understand that the people-pleasing that was a genius strategy as a child, is no longer serving us as adults. No need for guilt or shame. This is information that we weren’t taught to understand.

Victoria and Patty talk about why we need each other. Humans are pack animals. We need multiple people in our lives that we can go to when we need help and emotional support. The more we can connect with different people, the richer life can be. It’s another chance to grow and learn about yourself.

Victoria’s work helps people feel loved and understand that they matter. Our bodies know how to help us heal. Your cup can be full and your health can be restored by the power within you.
